'Veep' Hires 'House M.D.' Star Hugh Laurie
TV

The British actor lands a role on the Julia Louis-Dreyfus-starring series, marking his TV return since 'House M.D.' ended in 2012.

AceShowbiz - Hugh Laurie is heading back to TV with "Veep", two years after his hit series "House M.D." wrapped up in 2012. The British actor/musician is joining three-time Emmy-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the fourth season of the critically-acclaimed HBO comedy series.

Details of Laurie's role on the WGA Award-winning series are still kept under wraps. The gig will be his first TV role since he ended his days as the title character on FOX's medical drama "House M.D.", which helped him earn two Golden Globe Awards and six Emmy nominations.

He later starred in indie drama movie "The Oranges" (2012) and released his second album "Didn't It Rain" in 2013. He will also star opposite George Clooney in Brad Bird's "Tomorrowland", which is due March 22, 2015 in the U.S.

The last season of "Veep" saw Selina Meyer (Louis-Dreyfus) ascending from vice president to president when POTUS resigned to take care of his wife. The fourth season is scheduled to air in 2015.
