Colin: American girls would seriously dig me with my cute British accent.
I never worked with a dialogue coach before, but I'd hate it if an American did a British accent and didn't do it well. It would be insulting.
I think anything sounds good with a Southern accent.
I'm still a member of the Empire! Although I sometimes feel like an American with a British accent - you get contaminated after so long.
Basie: Don't let me down kid you're an American now. Jim: [in a Brooklyn accent] Hey how'ya doin' Frank?
It is best if the guard is in love with America and wants to overawe the American by being a premium guard. This kind of guard thinks that he will encounter the American again one day in America, and that the American will offer to take him to a Chic...
I didn't really like my Sydney accent - nobody likes the sound of their own voice - and when I was a little younger tried to change my accent gradually. But I've only ever really lived in Sydney and Los Angeles, so I haven't been influenced by the ac...

I love Jet Li, but he looks very Chinese, and his English is Chinese-accented. He wouldn't have been the right guy to play a Japanese-American.
