Despite being a spitting image of Hugh Laurie, our nameless Russian plumber cannot even consider this as his claim to fame, as there is no information about the actual identity of the doppelganger, who certainly lives a very different lifestyle from that enjoyed by multi-talented and versatile British thespian Hugh Laurie. The 56-year old English actor, writer, director, musician, singer, comedian, and author rose to fame in 80s and 90s by playing one of the lead roles in the BBC TV series Jeeves and Wooster. He consolidated his acting career playing the title character in the TV series House, between 2004 and 2012. His portrayal of the troubled and sarcastic yet brilliant medical specialist, gained him a number of awards and serious critical acclaim. Surprisingly, this role also got him listed in the 2011 Guinness World Records as the most watched leading man on television.
