Hugh Laurie to co-star with George Clooney on Hulu's Catch-22
-
After two seasons starring on Chance, Laurie is returning to Hulu for the George Clooney-directed miniseries based on the classic Joseph Heller novel. While Clooney will play the role of Col. Cathcart, Laurie has signed on to play Major de Coverley, the squadron executive officer on Pianosa air base. The Hollywood Reporter describes Laurie's character as dancing to the beat of his own drum: "Regarded with awe by the men. He spends his time pitching horseshoes, listening to jazz on his phonograph, mixing himself martinis and hiring apartments for the officers in every new city the Americans take."
