I know, right? I came here to comment on how much he's developed into a fantastic actor. I did not think much of him in the Princess Bride but in his more recent parts, he's fantastic. Did not ever have a clue he was a Brit. Always took him for a Yankee.

yep just like hugh laurie, damian lewis and gary oldman. All english actors must live in the US for a considerable time to achieve the accent.

An American accent isn't hard to mimic.

Tell that to Emma Thompson. She really struggled with it in
Primary Colors
. As did all the British actors I saw in a London production of
Six Degrees of Separation
back in the early 90s.

Tom Felton's American accent in Rise of the Planet of the Apes was awful.

Tim Roth and Hugh Laurie you can hear aren't yanks whereas Gary Oldman, Andrew Lincoln and of course Cary do fine accents.

Even his Amer5b4ican accent has an English twang to it, it's quite noticeable actually.
Global Warming, it's a personal decision innit?
