Hugh Laurie, award winning actor on the tremendously popular, award winning television series, House, M. D. is a regular on the BBC Comic Relief charity specials. The US Comic Relief raises funds to aid the homeless and people in need and the UK Comic Relief is committed to helping end poverty and social injustice throughout the world.
A talented musician, proficient on a number of instruments, Laurie co-founded the Band From TV.  The band raises money for many charities including Pediatric Epilepsy Project, Save the Children and The Art of ElysiumThe Art of Elysium is a charity that encourages working actors, artists, and musicians to volunteer their time and talent in an effort to raise money to help children battling serious medical conditions.
Laurie has, at times, suffered from severe clinical depression and receives regular treatment for the disorder.  Because of his own experience with depression much of his charitable involvement is in areas of mental illness.  He and his fellow House cast members are selling t-shirts with one of “Greg House’s” favorite truisms:  “Everybody Lies”.  The profits from the sale of the t-shirts are going to mental health charities, with the National Alliance on Mental Illness as a primary beneficiary.
All of the charities mentioned in this article have websites.  If you are interested in helping in any of these causes check out the website.
