His Boston accent was fake, but he could do other accents just as convincingly. I didn't know until a few years ago that he was the voice of Cogsworth in "Beauty and the Beast". (2) Ken Curtis, aka Festus on "Gunsmoke". His nasal southern twang was fake, and he had a beautiful singing voice. Before he took on the role of Festus, he was lead singer with the Sons of the Pioneers, and before that, he was a vocalist for Tommy Dorsey.

John Boyega (Finn in the last 3 Star Wars films) deserves to be on this list too... he absolutely NAILS an American accent in spite of the fact that his normal accent is decidedly South London (I am Canadian born/raised and now living in London). I had read somewhere that he was British before I saw The Last Jedi (episode 8) but it didn't occur to me that he was anything but American when I was watching the film. I got quite the jolt when I heard the South London come tumbling out of his mouth afterwards.

The one that always gets me is Jamie Bamber from Battlestar Galactica. I heard him speaking in his natural accent in an interview and I was shook.

You should watch him in Horatio Hornblower.

I was also thinking Jasmine Guy who played Whitley Gilbert in "A Different World" should have been mentioned. Her southern accent for the character was very convincing. When she guest appeared on Fresh Prince, I was amazed at hearing her real voice.

Since she grew up in Atlanta that should not be a surprise.

I remember being in complete shock when I heard Idris Elba speak in his native tongue. I only knew him from the The Wire at the time, and the show was so authentic I thought they only cast people from the Baltimore-area, or at least only Americans. A brilliant performance. Remember feeling the same way when I heard Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman speak in their native accent too. That's the magic of acting, I guess.

None of them, really. Hugh Laurie... I remember him using his real voice on Friends on that episode when Ross got married to Rachel. Sorry... Emily...😂 Also another actor as an honorable mention... Anthony LaPaglia. He was on Fraiser and Without a Trace.😊

Besides Hugh Laurie the only time I've surprised about an actors accent has been Dominique Provost-Chalkley. I was so astounded to find out she was from the UK and with the lines she was saying, that was hard enough without worrying about not showing your accent and then they had her do a fake british accent totally different from her real one. She's just so talented! 😍

DAMIAN LEWIS people!!! Oh my, how could this actor not be in the top 2? Flawless American accent, people were absolutely gobsmacked when realising that he's a Brit with a clear British accent. Remember Band of Brothers, Homeland and Billions

You were close with John Barrowman, but David Tennant, uses a british/queen's english accent in most of his shows, including Doctor Who, but uses hi native Scottish accent for interviews for fun. You also have Jodie Comer from Killing Eve (English), Jamie Bamber from Battlestar Galactica (English), Stephen Moyer from True Blood (English) and Matthew Rhys from The Americans (Welsh). The lovely Gillian Anderson is also a gifted bidialectual.

The late Joseph Mascolo would always speak in that Italian accent when on the set of Days of Our Lives, a number of his costars were surprised to find out he didn't actually talk that way.

There was that TV show Charmed back in the 90's but there was a remake from 2018-2022. Madeline Mantock who played Macy Vaughn on the remake is British but spoke with an American accent. Very convincing. You wouldn't know she was British until you saw an interview with her.

@marcoooijer9893 9 месяцев назад

a very America-centric collection. Pity you didn't include David Suchet from TV's (definitive) Agatha Christie's Poirot. His natural voice is quite deep, but, because Poirit works with his brain, he raised his voice. Addd that to the other quirks he portrayed and you have a classic perfomance.

@clarewillison9379 9 месяцев назад

DS’s story of strategically using a coin for perfecting Poirot’s walk still cracks me up (as it were😉).

@nnr997 8 месяцев назад

David Suchet as Poirot was what *immediately* came to mind when I read the title of this video. Deserves the number one slot on a list like this.

Hugh Laurie came out in an episode of Friends with his normal accent. He was on the plane with Rachel as she flying to London to Ross’ wedding.

I can't believe you left out Matthew Rhys! I watched him for years on The Americans before I ever heard his natural voice in an interview, and I was BLOWN AWAY!

@breanainn27 9 месяцев назад

I've been watching House lately, so I had already known years ago that it wasn't his native accent. Anyone who had seen the live action version of 101 Dalmatians will remember him as Jaspar where he used his native accent. You may not have realized it was him in 101 Dalmatians, but Hugh taking the spotlight in House really could've convinced anyone if they hadn't seen him before.

I always think of Damian Lewis when this topic comes up. I first saw him as Dick Winters in Band of Brothers and was shocked in disbelief that he's actually a Brit.

oh wow, I totally thought that you would mention Brett Goldstein from "Ted Lasso" - it's amazing to hear the difference between his regular voice and his character voice.

Honorable mentions: Linus Roache from "Law and order" and Maxwell Caulfield from "The Colbys" - Two fine British actors who absolutely NAILED the American accents on their respective shows.
