To celebrate the release of THE ORANGES on DVD and Blu-ray, THN have this exclusive – and quite brilliant – Hugh Laurie infographic that covers his entire career so far and let me tell you, it’s quite astonishing! For those who don’t know, THE ORANGES is a touching new comedy-drama starring Hugh Laurie and Leighton Meester who become unlikely lovers among a close family friendship.
It’s available on DVD and Download to Own from today (Monday, 29th April) and this official infographic celebrates all things Laurie! There is those early days with the Cambridge Footlights and his work with Brit-institution Stephen Fry to his recent huge success with House. It’s very easy for me to say that Hugh Laurie is now a staple favourite in both UK and US television and film. Here’s your synopsis and scroll down for the magnificent infographic:
David and Paige Walling (Hugh Laurie – TV Series House, Catherine Keener – Where the Wild Things Are) and Terry and Cathy Ostroff (Oliver Platt – Please Give, Allison Janney – The Help) are best friends and neighbours living on Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey. Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester – Date Night), newly broken up with her fiancé, returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbours, Toby Walling (Adam Brody – TV Series The O.C.), which would please both families, it’s her parents’ best friend David who captures Nina’s attention.
We’ve found endless amazing facts…look at all the instruments he can play for starters! Talented soul; tell us your favourite!
