I hated his accent the first few times I saw it. I thought it sounded dead false. Then some Americans told me they thought he was American, so I guess it was more about expectations of Hugh laurie than any real understanding of the accent on my part.
It's taken a few years for House to really break over here. He is such a household name in Britain, that people were not ready to accept him as an American at all.
@ Shaw: I'd agree with that.
