Yea I think this is funny!. I was watching this show on FX called "The Riches!." If you ever saw the show, Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard are both British actors and they speak with real sounding American actors!. The character Driver plays, "Dahlia" actually has a really strong southern accent which is funny because she is totally British!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the cast of Hairspray in England definitely aren't in possession of the best American accents, but at least they try!. i personally think that some do have a hard time with it just like some American actors can't pull off a convincing English accent to save their pathetic careers!. bless them, but some actors just look pretty and rely to much on that instead of how they sound!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. I applaud them!. Cuz it's not easy for some of them!. A lot of americans dont talk the same and it may be confusing to some british people on perfecting an American accent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

um i actually don't even notice! like in fantastic four the main dude, the actor who plays him is euopean, either irish or english!. someone told me that he was and i couldn't believe it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

the freakiest accent I've heard recently from an actor is the current Dr Who, he's naturally Scottish but does a great london accent!!!

Saying that how wierd was it when Zoe Slater from Eastenders suddenly turns all Bionic Woman with an American accentWww@QuestionHome@Com

Not really!. Think about Hugh Laurie when he plays the character House!. He really has a very strong British/Cockney accent, and yet you would never know it when he plays his American roles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not so finny when you consider how much more talented they are than American actors who only know how to expose themselves or commit pediophelia!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

of course its easy,they approach being a american by acting a idiot all the time!.example your president!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
