Liked watching "JUSTIFIED", where a U.S. marshal goes back to his old home town, and shoots a lot of people, and a lot of people end up shooting (and otherwise un-lifing) their friends and family.
Sort of felt sorry for "Dewey", a very dim bulb in a chandelier full of dboim and crooked bulbs.

More recently, started watching "BONDSMAN, where some professional bounty hunter/bail bondsman somehow gets tasked with tracking down and killing DEMONS.

The guy dating the bondsman's ex-wife is a not-thoroughly-reformed criminal, named "LUCKY"

Looked a lot like a not-much older version of Dewey.
So I did a quick search, and, by gum, those two absolutely convincing Soutern boys were played by some bloke born in Adelaide, Australia!

That's good acting, since I first thought they were different enough characters, to have been played by two entirely different actors, and second, that I never guessed Mr. H was anything but a good ol' boy from somewhere south of the bottom end of ILL-O-Noise, usa.

Good acting. I was amazed to hear Hugh Laurie's real British voice as he was very convincing as an American in House.

Hugh Laurie was such an IDIOT in BLACLADDER, such an innocent, naive NICE GUY as the dad in Stewart Little, and such a hardheaded realist as Dr. House!
And absolutely convincing in each role.

Like somebody much smarter than I once said, about some youngster who played a delivery boy in a Broadway show, and went on to Hollywood stardom:

"When a guy comes on stage as a delivery boy, and you say Now THAT's a great actor!.... you're wrong. If he IS a great actor, you think he's really just a delivery boy!"
