House on the Tube?

As I was waiting for my train at the Finchley Road tube station Saturday, I saw a guy that looked a lot like Hugh Laurie. Now, Americans primarily know him from the show “House”. I now know that House is just the latest role in a long career. I kept staring at this guy, trying to figure out if it was him or not. After all, with the writer’s strike in America, he may have some free time. He said in an interview once about House that his family had not yet moved over to the States even though the show had become a big hit. So I stared at him, and he started staring at me. I couldn’t make out if his stare was, “oh my gosh, you recognize me” or “what in the hell are you looking at?” so I guess I will never know.
