He was named Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for voicing Huyang, a droid who trains Jedi on how to build lightsabers, on Cartoon Network’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars series.

Hugh Laurie: The doctor is out: After eight seasons, Hugh Laurie and cast say farewell to 'House' at series finale wrap party By CASSIE CARPENTER (MAIL ON LINE)

It has been one of the biggest U.S. television hits of the past few years and made a Stateside star out of British actor Hugh Laurie. But was time for the cast of House to bid farewell to the hit medical whodunnit show last night as they stepped out onto the red carpet for the series wrap party. There were no tears for star Hugh, but he admitted it had been emotional saying goodbye to the series after nearly eight years.

'Generally speaking, I'm pretty hopeless at goodbyes,' Laurie told Zap2it, 'and I'm mostly not very good at hellos, either. 'I think I'm all right with the in-between stuff, but this is a very long, protracted goodbye to a character and to about 300 people I've worked with for eight years. This has been very emotional, and it continues to be.'

As the nasty, cane-wielding Dr. Gregory House on the TV drama, Hugh found American fame, was nominated for an Emmy award six times, twice won a Golden Globe, and became the highest paid actor on television. The 2012 Guinness Book of World Records lists his salary at a whopping $700,000 an episode.
