Which actor won a Golden Globe for playing Gregory House in 2006?

Hugh Laurie won a Golden Globe for playing Gregory House in 2006.

Laurie received the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series—Drama at the 63rd Golden Globe Awards. His performance made House one of the most recognizable television characters of the 2000s, combining sarcasm, medical brilliance, physical pain, and emotional isolation.

The award recognized the first season of House M.D., which premiered in 2004 and quickly became a major international success. Laurie later won another Golden Globe for the same role in 2007 and received additional nominations during the series’ run.

Laurie was already known in Britain for comedy before House M.D., including his work with Stephen Fry. The role required him to perform an American accent, which contributed to the common misconception that he was American. He is English and was born in Oxford.
