For which role did Hugh Laurie win Golden Globe Awards in 2006 and 2007?

Hugh Laurie won Golden Globe Awards in 2006 and 2007 for playing Gregory House.

The awards recognized Laurie in the category Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series—Drama. His wins came during the period when House was becoming a major international television hit and when the title character’s abrasive personality was central to the show’s appeal.

Laurie’s performance required him to play a highly intelligent physician whose diagnostic skill coexisted with poor manners, drug dependence, and emotional defensiveness. He also performed the role with an American accent, despite being English.

The Golden Globe wins were for Laurie’s acting, not for the show’s writing, medical realism, or theme music. Laurie received additional major nominations for the role, including Primetime Emmy nominations. The character’s full name is Gregory House, while “Dr. House” is the common in-show form.
