ok, so as i am from the UK myself, i am huge fan of american shows, but i am also proud of the british actors and actresses, who have been a success in various US TV shows. even if i don' t watch them myself can you list actors and actresses from britain who have made it big or have become a household name in america? these can be past and present.

i'll kick things off by naming 3 of them:

- jane leeves- frasier
- ashley jensen- ugly betty
- hugh laurie- house MD
