However, Damian does have a few curious links with the British star.

"Weirdly I bought Hugh Laurie\'s old house in London - I\'m not making that up,"
he grinned. "I stalk Hugh Laurie.
I rang him up and said \'what is it like being in a hit TV show? Should I take the job?
And by the way, I\'m calling from your bedroom."

In Life, made by US network NBC, Damian plays offbeat detective Charlie Crews
who returns to the force after spending years in prison for a crime he didn\'t commit.

"What\'s great about this show is you have a crime that\'s solved every week which is satisfying,"
he said. "It\'s got great comedy in it. It has revenge in it. It\'s a very good show.
I\'m excited to be here.
