The actors for George Luz and Bull Randleman also did good American accents, and of course Rick Warden aka Lt Welsh (he was also on Rome).


Rick Gomez is from New Jersey (Luz)
Michael Cudlitz is from Long Island (Bull)
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Hugh Laurie has the best American accent of all the English toads.

I dont know about that.  The Brits on Walking Dead do a pretty good job and I agree with Syt that Damien Lewis did an excellent job in Band of Brothers.

Lauren Cohan does a awesome job. Watching Talking Dead where she uses her British accents is uncanny.

A Bit of Fry and Laurie was a great show and often a bit absurd and random.

Yeah. I didn't know about it until just a couple years ago but I have loved all the Youtube clips from it. I quote the slightly mad sketch all the time here. It is a completely idiotic concept but Hugh Laurie is brilliant in it.

Damian Lewis does indeed do a great job. He's right up there as an honorary American, tbh

He was pretty good in Homeland too. Well first season. He couldn't help the writing after that. :D

I've been meaning to watch the first season of Homeland. Is it really that good?

Just a reminder to myself and others who might have forgotten or be in denial, Donald Trump is going to be the next President of the USA.   :wacko:

Sorry man, but we're not tired of winning yet.

It is, although if you already know the outcome of the basic premise (whether he's a sleeper agent or not), a lot of the tension is probably lost.

Lennie James sounds a bit odd though.

Quote'Trump has seen a film about ninjas', confirms Japanese PM

THE Japanese prime minister has confirmed that Donald Trump has seen a film about ninjas and remembers much of it.

Shinzo Abe, who met the president-elect at Trump Tower, was assured that all trade agreements between Japan and the US will be 'great' before the meeting focused on the 'ninja film'.

Abe said: "Mr Trump watched the film on LaserDisc at some time in the 1990s, and enjoyed it, even though it was subtitled.

"The plot apparently revolved around a ninja whose family had been killed by an evil lord and had vowed to take revenge, which unfortunately did not narrow it down.

"At one point he put his swords through the heads of two of the bad ninjas at once and used them as leverage to swing around and kill a third ninja. This was acted out.

"Mr Trump enjoyed the film so much that he bought himself a solid gold shuriken, which he asked his daughter Ivanka to find. She was not able to locate it, but Mr Trump assured me it definitely exists."

Abe added: "The meeting was very successful. I now know exactly what I am dealing with."
