Wow a Fry and Laurie meme! I love it lol. I discovered Fry and Laurie after watching house and looking the actors up, it’s a hilarious bit of British comedy, I highly recommend if you like Monty python or anything like that!

Hugh Laurie was originally selected for that role because the director was glad that a Real American had finally auditioned well

But he's not American? Is this a woosh moment for me?

He isn't, he just does a really good American accent and the producers didn't know he was British.

At least that was the story from what I remember.

Yes, that's the story I was referencing.

He sent a video from the set of flight of the phoenix, I think.
