I'm doing the same thing and I noticed it right away, especially in the Hiro episode where she's yelling at him. Not a good job.

ok this is about 5 years too late, but I just started watching Heroes on Nextflix and I agree, when she yells or gets mad she can't control her accent. I knew INSTANTLY that she was Australian. Really bad job of controlling her accent.

I had no idea she was Australian, but the moment I heard her speak I knew she wasn't American. Though in that episode where she gets mad at Parkman it got so bad that it kind of ruined her character for me. Any time she spoke after that I just tuned out.

She was actually in Spellbinder, an Australian show. It's funny cuz I was watching that again and I saw her and was immediately like "It's that girl from Heroes!" LOl

I guessed by episode 15 when
Matt takes the jewels
, she gets all worked up and then her accent slips.

Just started watching Heroesand the moment she raised her voice, I knew she was an Aussie or Kiwiit came out clear as day!

That's the exact episode I was just watching that made me wonder if she was an Aussie and prompted me to look it up.
Also, didn't realise she was in Mulholland Drive til now. She looks much younger in that.

First noticed her accent in the episode Unexpected, when she gets mad at Matt.

no idea she was australian, she kinda had a hispanic accent

Yea she had done a very good job before that. When emotions are raised, true accents shine through. I lived away from the south from 8 years, but anytime I get excited or angry, a little bit of that southern drawl comes back. It happens with anyone who has changed accents or dialects.

Oddly enough, it was that scene - where she was angry at Matt over the ring - where I too first thought she might be Australian. Perhaps because she was raising her voice the accent bled through.
If it bleeds, we can kill it.

I only noticed her accent today. It was pretty obvious. Which is weird that I didn't notice it before. It was the scene which shes questioning her husband about the $40000 diamond ring. I live in australia so I wouldn't be able to pick up a dodgy american accent as much as an aussie twang.

Don't be ridiculous. To not have 'any kind of accent' one would have to be mute.

She's doing a GREAT job. I had no idea she is an Aussie.

But princess_amina1-1, you could tell she was foreign but could you specifically tell she was Australian? As an Australian, I won't necessarily notice an imperfect Am111cerican accent as well as you can, but the moment I hear something specifically Australian leaking through, I'll know.
In this case, I could pin it down to one word"own".
If you're interested, by the way, my definition of a typical modern Australian accent sure isn't The Crocodile Hunterit's Claire from "Lost".

yeah she does a really bad job of hiding iti don't think she's supposed to have any kind of accent on the show.
