I chose Hugh Laurie as Winston because he has a rough, tired face. He’s an odd kind of attractive, and he looks older than he is. I pictured him as Winston throughout the book because he fits the mold of how Winston is described in the novel; “His hair was very fair…

rely on Hugh Laurie's significant charm and humor as an actor to make Dr. House ""like-ably despicable.""
