Bluto at Large! Hugh Laurie!

[furtech]

If you can believe it, the above is the "official police sketch" of someone who has been assaulting joggers in Corona. Are they serious?

I see a life of miserable mistaken identity in a certain villain's future...

The full-size picture looks even worse (couldn't find it online)-- the beard and eyebrows look like they were scribbled on with a sharpie.

While making a failed effort to organize my files, "Stewart Little 2" was just on. Right off, I saw a neat falcon villain for Roz! Nicely done! A bazillion times better than the raptor villain in "Valiant"!

The surprising thing was a familiar voice, even if I didn't recognize the face: Hugh Laurie plays the dad! That reminded me of all the diverse roles he's played-- from the anti-hero "House" to the "everydad" in "Stuart Little" to a henchman in "101 Dalmations" (live action) to a flaming Prince Regent ("Blackadder the Third) to an animated bug and Wooster ("Jeeves and Wooster"). I can't wait to see him play a nasty villain sometime.


Laurie is fast becoming my favorite character actor, right after Peter Falk, in terms of fun and versatility. An excellent actor and a man of a thousand faces (and voices)!
