Damian Lewis, Dominic West. I could go on... Idris Elba, I used to follow him when he was DJing, followed him on MySpace DJ Driiis! When they were casting Superman, they had the would be's put on Christopher Reeves suit. The crew laughed at every one until Henry Cavill came out. Yup, that was the one...
@@vonsauerkraut Eh, it was fine but it's another in the long line of "AHM SCOWTISH SO AH UM" over the top accents, see also Simon Pegg et al. Depp nailed a lot of the softer nuance, even if it was still a pretty general accent. The classic one to cite is Jonny Lee Miller in Trainspotting, who does a very accurate Edinburgh accent. Nobody has quite gotten a Glasgow accent right. Everybody else is doing some Highland thing.
Although I'm not a fan of Johnny Depp his UK accent is excelent. But top awards for British and other accents go to Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady, British and Cry In The Dark Aussie) and Reene Zellweger (Bridget Jones Diary, British)
It's probably because we have so many accents crammed into the UK, that we've got a head start, maybe? Honestly, an hour's drive (sometimes less) either way, and the accent is completely different. My mother is from Yorkshire (even after 70 years, she still has the accent, even though she moved at 18), my dad's from Plymouth, & I was born/grew up in Shropshire. My best friends are from (North) London (different accents from East or South London, lol) where I lived for a decade. My BiL is from Birmingham, and my brother lives there, too. I also have relatives in/from North Wales (Gwynedd). I specify North, as South Wales dialect is different from theirs, even when they speak English. And I spent a couple of years in Liverpool, lol. So yeah, I think we have an advantage. Sorry for the ramble.😆👍
Me too 😅Scottish father, Welsh mother, husband from Sunderland, best friends from Huddersfield and Devon, lived for years in London, now in Surrey. My accent is just totally mixed up and I use expressions from all over the UK. I'm just a British mongrel and very happy to be one 😅
@@suekennedy883 I forgot to mention my uncle/cousins in Oxfordshire, too (he's Welsh too, lol). I call myself Heinz 57, which is basically the same thing. 😆
WHY DOES THE TITLE SAY TRICKED AMERICA WHEN THEY ARE ALL FINE ACTORS WHO ARE VERY ADEPT AT DOING THEIR JOB,. CAPTURING AND PORTRAYING THE ENTIRE ESSENCE OF WHICHEVER CHARACTER THEY PORTRAY IS NOT TRICKERY, IT IS DOING THEIR JOB.
@Tony2438 You are not wrong, but Great Britain is a short hand,meaning all the United Kingdom. Team GB for example, in the Olympics does not exclude Northern Irish people. The British Embassy caters for those of all parts of the United Kingdom. Just a well established short hand.
@Tony2438 Well, it's full title is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and again you are correct. Nonetheless, Great Britain is a useful shorthand that has been used for decades and perfectly acceptable (If not entirely correct).
Many British accents are similar to American and vice versa. It's mainly the main British and American that are destinctly different and the reason some are so close have something to do with the Pilgrims to America ie Plymouth and Norfolk England amongst other places. American Kentucky sounds like south Kent England.
What what? I’ll admit I have not heard all the accents in the world but a Kentucky accent and a Kent accent are very different. I also have never heard an American accent of any kind and confused it with any British accent, there are cities in the UK that are 30 miles apart with very different accents and not one of them sounds like an American accent.
Hugh Laurie will always be Berttie Wooster to me.

There is also another male British actor in a hospital drama about a young doctor with autism. I cann' remember the title but he plays the title role
There is no 'Tricking' involved. It's called 'acting'

@@vonsauerkrautTo be fair, Mike Myers Parents are both English & he grew up in Canada watching a lot of British TV.
Can't help pointing out that what Laurie says in the clip relates to another series, Avenue 5, in which he played a Brit posing as a US American.
Martin Crane from Frazier was from Preston

All the Monty Python guys could do a very good American Accent.

If you are British your born on the Island of Britain they are three countries Scotland Wales and England
Or indeed as short hand for anyone of the United Kingdom.
@reluctantheist5224 That would have to include Northern Ireland for it to be the UN

@Spiklething we have different accents within half a mile of each other in Britain, to say that there isn't one like in USA is wrong.
