Errr… at least, he should be.
I was doing some random Google searches tonight, as I’m often prone to do when I’m slightly bored, and ran across an entry called “Gordon House” on the blog Heap of Random Thoughts.
The entry was written earlier this year, February 8th to be exact, so it may not exactly be breaking news, but I thought it was cool.

I’m getting a little carried away though since there is no Half-Life movie planned. Although, I think it would be really cool to see Hugh Laurie in a star role of a movie. Oh well… all I know is that if Hugh Laurie was Gordon Freeman… the sheer awesomeness of it would probably cause some kind of catastrophic event.

Well all half life charakters exist in real life ! i saw an Interview where the developers said that the charakters are pople wich work there !
Now, Hugh Laurie, that is just kick-ass
[...] If you’ve had a chance to play through Half-Life 2 at any point, you’d probably realize that making a movie about Gordon Freeman would be next to impossible. Not only have you already been there and done that, but the chances of it working right without House’s Hugh Laurie would feel a bit wrong. [...]
