i'm totally shocked to find out james cromwell isn't british! i just assumed he was since he's played quite a few british characters and he does the accent so well. and, let's face it, james cromwell sounds like a fairly british name! what a shocker.

He even has that British look! And he should've at least been nominated an Oscar for his spot-on portrayal of a British farmer in Babe.
I recently saw him in the movie Tank and was very surprised to see him play a convincing southern deputy (in one funny scene, he's bare assed from head to toe if anyone wants to know). Then I came on here to find that he was actually born in LA! Man, he had me fooled.

Of course, he has the British look.
Did you think that Indians just started to magically give birth to Caucasians?

How come none of you ignoramuses acknowledged that his "Britishness" is probably because he shares a surname with a very famous British revolutionary? (although johnrupertg probably knows)
Cromwell is to British history what Jefferson, Lincoln and perhaps even Washington are to American history. Actually I've always wondered if James Cromwell is at all related to him. Perhaps if he went on "Who Do You Think You Are?" we'd find out (although it seems to be limited to celebrities who were born in Britain) -

Perhaps those ignoramuses weren't taught the hist5b4ory of foreign countries at high school? Perhaps they were, but they aren't such conceited arse wipes that they'd think impertinent name-dropping would add anything to the discussion? Who knows??
