Apparently other members of the cast told him to stop putting on an English accent when he wasn't filming. They didn't believe it was his real accent.

What American actor has a spot on British accent? I can't think of any off the top of head but I'm sure there HAS to be one. Smile | :)

Apparently there's a shortage of American actors. That's the only reason I can think of to explain Damian Lewis, Hugh Laurie, Dominic West, Simon Baker, Owain Yeoman, etc...

This was the opposite but, I was always amazed by Jamie Bamber's http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0051397/[^] American accent in BSG. The first time I heard an interview with him I was floored! OMG | :OMG: I had no idea he was a Brit when I first saw him on the show.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS.
