Hollywood Accents(Inspired by Red Eye)

[CourtasanSatine]

After seeing both Red Eye and Batman Begins I have become very fond of Cillian Murphy's accent(this before knowing he is Irish).

Which actors and actresses have great accents

 

[NMAmy]

Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, and, of course, Sean Connery.

DH is English so it's pretty well documented that I have a bit of a partiality toward that accent.

I'm also very fond of Antonio Banderas's accent.

That's a good question, and my mind has totally blanked. The first 2 that came to mind were Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConahey(sp) I love southern accents.

I do really like Colin Firth. One of my favorites was Wesley from Buffy/Angel, and then I found out he was faking!

So was Spike! He and Wesley both sounded like native Brits

That's right! His is another I really liked. I don't like hearing either talk in their natural accent it just doesn't sound right.

All the kids in the Harry Potter movies have great accents.

Dru was also a fake! But I looked it up and she spent some time overseas

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Matthew McConahey(sp)

I could listen to him alllllllll day long.

The guy from House is also faking. The first time I heard him--I couldn't figure out why he opted to do a British accent out in the real world. Turns out--he's faking the American accent on tv.

Sayid from Lost is also a fake, intense British in RL

Claire,Charlie and Sawyer are the real thing

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

I could listen to him alllllllll day long.

OH Yeah especially if he was whispering sweet nothings or even better sexy somthings!!

Hugh Laurie (HOuse), is pretty darn good too. I always can pick out someone who is from United Kindom and I cannot hear it in him.

He does an American accent better than I do - and I'm American.
