    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.
