Actors who can't do accents!!
Should actors change their accents when they're playing a character from another part of the world or just not bother? After all, the following have given tremendous "comic" value -

Colin Farrell in Alexander or Miami Vice
Sean Connery in anything where he's not actually playing a Scotsman (particularly the Irish Cop in Untouchables...bwahhahahahaha)
Jason Statham in Transporter
Kevin Costner in Robin Hood
Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins
Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta
Leonardo di Caprio in Gangs of New York
Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula
Tim Roth in anything he's required to be American in
Christopher Lambert in Highlander
Tom Cruise in Far & Away

Anymore.........

Sadly, and I'm not trying to be offensive Bulldog, but a lot of actors who do the British accent seem fine to Americans. As long as they have that demograph set hollywood doesn't really care about what everyone else thinks.

That chick from Bridget Jones Diary was awful too though.

No offense at all. Only four of those that I could name were Americans doing British accents, it's a global phenomenon not a dig at you yankee doodles. Quit being so emo!!

Her accent was almost as ludicrous as Hugh Grants. Wait a minute......

Bob Crane in Hogan's Heroes was awful when it came to an accent. Always bugs me when he is disguised as a German because he just sounds like an American and it would totally give it away :tongue:
