Hugh Laurie is in the Veep house. E! News can confirm the House star will appear in the upcoming fourth season of the hit HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus . When viewers last saw Selina Meyer, she had ascended from vice president to president after her POTUS stepped down to attend to his wife’s mental state following a suicide attempt. The character was already in the process of running for president. Details about Laurie’s role are being kept under wraps. This marks Laurie’s first scripted TV role since House ended in 2012.
