Furrin actors who do your accent good.
Furrin actors who do your accent good.
There is a complete spate of American actors who do the Irish accent like they learned it from Derby O'Gill, people as noteworthy as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, all equally diabolical, but I was watching The General the other day and thought Jon Voight's culchie Garda accent was brilliant.
Seen at the start of this trailer.

Hugh Laurie and Daniel Day-Lewis do passable American accents.

Reminder to self: watch Wire again. I may been convinced of his American-ness in my younger, more innocent days when I last watched it.Seabass wrote:Nibbler wrote:That guy from The Wire.

Bob Hoskins in Roger Rabbit. As already mentioned, Hugh Laurie. Keith Urban does a passable redneck when he sings.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Hugh Laurie is great. I don't think Dominic West from the Wire is that great, he lets his accent slip through here and there quite often (him doing the fake/bad British accent in the undercover episode was hilarious though). The guy who played Stringer Bell though (Idris Elba), he was perfect.

The sherriff on The Walking Dead 

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.
