I still remember watching an interview with him only after watching the entire series and how mind blowing it was to me that he was English.

Wasn't he well known in the US before House? I mean.. Blackadder?

I had heard/read that his commitment to the cain limp walk fucked up his gait in real life and caused him some issues lol. How awful

Happen to the actress in ER too. She walked with a limp in that show and it fucked her up.

He was quite well known in England. Fry and Laurie, Blackadder, etc.

The one that gets me is Dominic West. I saw him in The Wire first, and every time after I'm like "that's a decent English accent he's doing there. Oh wait."

I suspect I'm going to be the same with Shiv and Tom from Succession.
