Lewis's own work across the pond includes starring roles in 2001 war series Band of Brothers and current NBC show Life.
He pointed out that Laurie, who found fame in the US in medical drama House, is not the only British star to have cracked America.
Contactmusic quotes him as saying: "English actors have been successful on US TV for years. Hugh is not the first to be successful in LA and he will certainly not be the last."
Laurie recently claimed that the UK "slammed" the door on him after he landed a role in House.
