Hugh Laurie's Rogue Returns: Night Manager Shocker
1 Feb
Summary
- Hugh Laurie's character Richard Roper returns unexpectedly in season two.
- Laurie has been married to Jo Green for over 35 years.
- Their three children had brief acting roles in their youth.
Hugh Laurie surprised BBC viewers with his return as Richard Roper in The Night Manager season two, a character previously thought to be dead. Roper, having survived and escaped capture, confronted Jonathan Pine again.
Laurie, 66, has maintained a private family life with his wife, Jo Green, whom he married in June 1989. They have three children: Charlie, born in 1988; William, born in 1991; and Rebecca, born in 1992.
While Laurie has an extensive acting career, his children briefly explored acting in their youth with minor roles. Charlie appeared as a baby in 'A Bit of Fry & Laurie,' Rebecca played a young Vivian in 'Wit,' and Bill had a small part in 'Fortysomething.'
Laurie has spoken about the challenges of balancing his career, particularly filming 'House' in Los Angeles for nine months a year, while his family remained in North London. He expressed concern about parenting from a distance but noted his children's understanding.
