Hugh Laurie, a renowned actor, was spotted under the sun strolling with his cherished dog. However, he appeared to lack his usual vigor and energy.
Hugh had donned cozy attire for the debut of his latest sitcom, “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?” He sported a navy sweater paired with a dark blue hat, along with black slacks and sneakers.
The 62-year-old actor is well known for his roles in Blackadder and House, but this time he is working on a murder mystery based on the 1934 Agatha Christie novel of the same name.
The star-studded costumes include some of Hollywood’s biggest names, and the film promises to be a fascinating retelling of one of Christie’s most famous works.
Will Poulter plays Bobby Jones, the son of a vicar, and Frances Derwent plays Lady Frances Derwent, his daring companion. The two work together to solve a mysterious murder.
Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent, respectively, play Lady Frances Marcham’s aristocratic parents.
Hugh directs the series while playing psychotherapist Dr. James Nicholson in the miniseries.
While conveying his excitement about participating in this project, he disclosed that during his teenage years, he was already captivated by this novel and its captivating mystery—a fascination that still persists within him.
”I am incredibly fortunate to have been allowed to write and tell another story centered on this fantastic group of people, a work I have learned to appreciate significantly.
I was determined to dress my best and bring my A-game to ensure my efforts fully reflected the ensemble.”
