Before Hugh Laurie was playing the bad-tempered, ill-mannered (but lovable) Dr. House, he was wearing period costumes for the British time-traveling comedy series, Blackadder. It suited him then, and it suits him now. Donned in a jacket, intent on writing an undoubtedly important letter with a quill, Laurie gives everyone a lesson in how to rock a five o’clock shadow in a portrait. If he doesn’t have this commissioned and hung in his home, then we’ll eat our slightly more modern hats. What’s that book he’s leaning on, an encyclopedia of mysterious diseases?
