Anna Torv from the list. But really overall Tatiana Maslany! I really thought she was British. She's amazing!!! She can do so many accents so well and in a single show. She is truly underrated as this poll as a testament unless it was created before s1 of orphan black aired
Hugh Laurie wins for me. Tatiana Maslany is second. Kevin Spacey from House of Cards is third. Eliza Taylor from The 100 does a darn good American accent considering she's Aussie
James Marsters although he did take several eps to get it right. ;) Alex O'Loughlin an Aussie on Moonlight(I still put a pox on CBS for cancelling it) and H50 & Tatiana Maslany, have to add Luke Mitchell from The Tomorrow People.
Maslany, Jordan Gavaris as felix (great british accent), Owain yeoman (mentalist), I had no idea he was british until i saw it in an interview. oh and Anna Torv, too.
From the list Anna Torv. Others: Yvonne Strahovski, she does the american accent very well imo. And Tatiana Maslany and Jordan Gavaris, I thought they were british when I first started seeing Orphan Black.
Although I hated the character, I was always impressed by how American Hugh Laurie's House sounded in what little I've seen of the show. If I hadn't already known he was British, I would have never guessed from this part.
Idris Elba and Dominic West from The Wire did a fantastic job with their accents.. I was shocked when i realized they weren't actually Americans. Also amazing is Hugh Laurie's accent.
Gina Bellman used an impressive variety of accents remarkably well on Leverage, same goes for Tatiana Maslany on Orphan Black. Speaking of Orphan Black, it is just super strange to hear Maria Doyle Kennedy (Mrs S) use her native Irish accent - her Spanish accent on The Tudors was so spot-on that I was convinced she must be really Spanish. Alan Cummings also deserves high praise for his American accent on The Good Wife, because boy does he have a strong Scottish accent in real life, lol. And last but not least, Daniel Davis (who is American) is famous for his flawless English accent as Niles on The Nanny. :)
From the list: Jame Marsters, Damien Lewis (Homeland, Life, and especially Band of Brothers -great work), and Yvonne Strahovsky/Anna Torv. Off the list: Tatiana Maslany for sure
...Also not to forget that she played Sarah (London accent) playing Beth (Canada accent) and she made it sound like a Brit trying to do Canadian. Alos not to mention She played Helena (Ukraine) Playing Sarah, playing Beth. Of course the latter she didn't speak all that much.
Being from the South, I can attest that no one I know speaks like Kevin Spacey's "southern" accent. It is horrible. In fact it is the goto southern accent that people use when they cannot do a true southern accent. It is as bad as Dick Van Dyke's Mary Poppins "British" accent Guvna!
She is really good too. I find that most Aussie actors can do a passable "American" accent. Aussies seem to be better than most at this. there are some exceptions though. Simon Baker (Patrick Jane The Mentalist) for the most part does fine, but every so often I hear his Aussie come through.
Andrew Lincoln has gotten better over the years, but in the first season his southern accent was atrocious. He drew out the words too long trying to sound slower or something. Now he speaks with a normal cadence that fits much better.
I have to disagree with you on Stephen Moyer. His Southern Gentleman accent it laughable. See Kevin Spacey in House of cards for another laughable Southern Gent.
I love accents! I don't know, it's just my thing. I study them as much as possible. From the Poll I would say in order from best to passable: 1 Rachel Griffiths/ Swear I had no idea that she was Aussie until I did a search last year for info on Camp. 2. Damien Lewis/ I did know that he was English, but he is so great at his American that it makes me laugh to hear his real accent. His real on sounds sort of fake-ish to me. 3.Hugh Laurie/ Another actor I had know idea was not American until I googled him a few years back. 4. Lauren Cohen/ She was born in America and her family moved to England when she was young so she has a sort of mixed accent in real life, it sounds rather Aussie to me, but it is just a hybrid Brit/Amer accent. Anyway she does such a realistic southern girl accent, that she sounds like some of the girls around where I live. (Southwest Alabama/Gulf Coast) Anna Torv gets a mention because she played Olivia Dunham for so long that each season she got better at hiding her Aussie. It slipped out sometimes though. Especially in season 1.
Very few people here watch it but Philip Winchester (American) on Strike Back does the best British accent. I'm British and was awestruck when I found out he was American.
Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo, speaking Dortraki....amazing! Also Tatiana Maslany is doing a great job. And ofcourse I just have to mention Antony Starr (Banshee) who is from New Zealand.
I heard a story that when Hugh Laurie sent in his audition tape the producers were only looking for American actors. When they heard his audition the producers declared he was the kind of American actor they were looking for.
Was it? I think I preferred his accent in season 1 and to be honest, I think it might be the reason why I kept watching the show because at first, I didn't really like but now it's become my favorite show... :) I also compared him to Lauren whose British accent is still there when she speaks :)
Shocking, I know! That's just how good an actor he is. :) He's from Gurdon, Arkansas, USA, and according to imdb: "When The Nanny (1993) first went on the air, many people believed that the very British butler "Niles" was definitely being played by a British actor. This Southern boy was so convincing in his role that many fans wrote to the show and suggested that he teach Charles Shaughnessy (a true British native) how to improve his accent!" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0204425/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm
To me (I live on the Gulf Coast in Southwestern Alabama) Lauren has a perfect example of a rural southern girl accent. I don't hear even a hint of her Brit coming through. I also don't hear Brit in Andrew's accent either, but his season one accent sounded to me more like a south Texas (they hit their R's really hard and speak a bit slower) accent than a Georgia accent (Softer r's and a moderate cadence). It is apparent to me that he worked with a voice coach between season 1, and 2, and it has gotten better over the seasons. As a Brit he is not use to a rhotic accent (one in witch all the R's are pronounced) so his hard R's sounded a little pirate-ish (aaaaarrr) in season 1. Like "Caaaaarrrl"
Yes, but he's english. I don't know, I find the scottish accent stronger than the british one, so more difficult to overcome and hide. Maybe I'm wrong :-)
Oh really? When I heard Lauren for the first time, I said "Oh finally there's a Brit!" I just knew the second she started talking. And who among the cast, has the typical accent from Atlanta/Georgia according to you? But now that you've said it, I remember me complaining about the fact that he was talking too slowly! I think I heard in an interview that Lauren, a coach and Andrew have a conversation via Skype once a week to train their accent with the coach :)
I'm an old fart so I'm voting for John Hillerman from Magnum P.I. That guy got letters from thousands of British fans who believed he was British. He was from Lubbock, Texas! LOL!
Scott Wilson (Hershel) had a typical Georgia mid south type accent. I don't know about Lauren, but I have heard that Andrew stays in character the whole time he's filming so as to keep the accent fresh in his mind and ears.
I know it's not very close to a southern accent, but it isn't Spacey's natural one. That's what the poll asked. I think it's a one of a kind voice unique to Spacey and the character which is why I like it
Other - Alex O'Loughlin, when I first saw an interview of him I was so surprised, his Australian accent is really thick and you'd never guess it hearing him with an American accent on Hawaii Five-0 And Ed Westwick on Gossip Girl, when I saw some behind the scenes footage of him on set I thought it was amazing how quickly he switched from English to American accent, even his tone of voice, his diction were different
I love Strike Back!! I can't wait for it to come back. I was so surprised when I found Winchester was American and Stapleton Australian, Winchester especially looks like a typically English guy.
It's true that Moyer doesn't sound at all English on True Blood but even I - who's French - could tell you that his southern accent is really no good. I'd be curious to know what you think of Anna Paquin's accent, is she better than her husband or worse?
Thanks for the IMDB note! WOW! I'm reading and still can't believe it.. O.O lolol! Suddenly I have the urge to watch Daniel Davis interviews. That's the second trivia fact from the Nanny that blows my mind away, the first one being watching Yetta at the end of the series finale when the cast went out the curtain. Watching Ann Gilbert with her Yetta's clothes but being her normal self was SHOCKING.. and she didn't even talk, (they were just waving) it was the look in his eyes, it was so un-Yetta.. lol! What a great actress!
Not on list - Ryan Kwanten, TB. And i want to say Alex O' L. He's really good at hiding his accent, over the years i've watched him. (i stopped watching H50). Also, Phoebe Tonkin, she's also good at hiding hers.
Same here, the final and hopefully the greatest season yet. I completely agree about Winchester. I remember hearing him in an interview, my mind was blown.
The funny thing about Anna is that she is originally born in Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada - but she and her family moved to New Zealand, and she grew up there, and lived there until 1995. Being a child actress she was immersed in the Hollywood scene while working so she developed a standard American accent/General American. As far as her Louisiana accent it is pretty good, but a little on the campy/goofy side. I have heard people with that type of accent in real life though. So She is better.
Cant believe I'm saying this but creds to Jay Ryan to switch from the NZ accent. I'll say NZ and Australian actors in most shows have done a great job, Daniel Gillies, Jay Ryan, Karl Urban and Alan Dale from NZ Manu Benett, Phoebe Tonkin, Claire Holt and Nathaniel Buzolic from Aust.
On the list: Anna Torv, Daniel Lewis, Hugh Laurie, James Masters, and Rachel Griffiths
Not on the list: Matthew Rhys - Brothers & Sisters and The Americans Jamie Bamber - Battlestar Galactica Tatiana Maslany - multiple roles - Orphan Black David Anders - Alias David Lyons - Revolution Robert Carlyle - "Rumple" persona Once Upon A Time Hugh Dancy - Hannibal Micheal Pitt - "whatever accent" Mason Verger is - Hannibal

The beautiful Tatiana Maslany does awesome accents, British and Ukrainian.
ReplyDeleteDavid Lyons not using his charming Aussie accent in Revolution!
ReplyDeleteLove James Masters, but honestly his Spike accent was terrible for at least 2 seasons. Juliet Landau's was very good from the start though.
ReplyDeleteThe most recent example for great accent work is (imho) Pedro Pascal as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones.
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv, if I hadn't seen her on McLeod's Daughters I honestly would've had no idea that she's Australian
ReplyDeleteI like Odessa from Devious Maids.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Alexis Denisof and James Marsters. I thought they were both British originally lol. Also Anna Torv
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv from the list. But really overall Tatiana Maslany! I really thought she was British. She's amazing!!! She can do so many accents so well and in a single show. She is truly underrated as this poll as a testament unless it was created before s1 of orphan black aired

ReplyDeleteJames Marsters does an incredible British accent.
ReplyDeleteYvonne Strahovski's great in Chuck and 24!
ReplyDeleteAndrew Lincoln does an awesome job "hiding" his accent!
ReplyDeleteJames Marsters although he did take several eps to get it right. ;) Alex O'Loughlin an Aussie on Moonlight(I still put a pox on CBS for cancelling it) and H50 & Tatiana Maslany, have to add Luke Mitchell from The Tomorrow People.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Lincoln. Wasn't until I heard him in an interview that I knew he was English.
ReplyDeleteAlex O'loughlin Hawaii Five-0.
ReplyDeleteI would have to add in Karl Urban, for Almost Human. No trace of Kiwi at all.
ReplyDeletePhillip Winchester as an Englishman and Sullivan Stapleton as an American!
ReplyDeleteMaslany, Jordan Gavaris as felix (great british accent), Owain yeoman (mentalist), I had no idea he was british until i saw it in an interview. oh and Anna Torv, too.
ReplyDeleteHe's from Australia? o____o

Tatiana Maslany does american, ukranian and british accents , there isno one better.
ReplyDeleteAlexis Denisof is on there twice? Why? He basically uses the same accent on all those shows.
ReplyDeleteHugh Laurie of course, plus Stephen Moyer - True Blood, Jesse Spencer - Chicago Fire
ReplyDeleteI really think his accent on Grimm is not as good as it used to be, on Buffy and Angel. I wanted to know if others felt that way.
ReplyDeleteMy poll and I'm kicking myself for not adding Martin Freeman on Fargo.
ReplyDeletepeter dinklage in game of thrones. hearing his normal american accent in x-men DOFP just seemed wrong
ReplyDeleteHugh Laurie for sure
ReplyDeleteAlthough I hated the character, I was always impressed by how American Hugh Laurie's House sounded in what little I've seen of the show. If I hadn't already known he was British, I would have never guessed from this part.

Alexis denioff: surprised he turned out American
ReplyDeleteHugh dancy I know he's British but still kinda jarring how good he's able to hide it.
Simon Baker - Mentalist
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget she also did - even for 5 minutes - a German accent!
ReplyDeleteHow could you leave out Alex O'Loughlin hands down the best! Australian to American/Hawaiian
ReplyDeleteHugh Laurie and Anna Torv.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Daniel Gillies (Elijah; The Originals)?
ReplyDeleteMatthew Rhys, in real life he was born and raised in Wales - now playing a Russian pretending to be American on an American tv show.

Obviously Rachel Griffiths, her fake American accent is genius, SHE is genius :)
ReplyDeleteFrom the list: Jame Marsters, Damien Lewis (Homeland, Life, and especially Band of Brothers -great work), and Yvonne Strahovsky/Anna Torv. Off the list: Tatiana Maslany for sure

ReplyDeleteI think she got better with time because I recall in the first season she was slipping quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteHugh "THE KING" Laurie wins them all.
ReplyDeleteTatiana comes a close second.
Robert Taylor as Longmire, not using his Aussie accent, sounding so American as a Wyoming Sheriff
ReplyDeleteYep, he's very professional in what he does. So is Lauren of course.
ReplyDeleteRyan Kwanten: True Blood
ReplyDeleteStephen Moyer: True Blood
Hugh Dancy: Hannibal
David Morrissey of The Walking Dead. His accent as The Governor is a far cry from his native Liverpudlian scouse.
ReplyDeleteJonny Lee Miller in Eli Stone...also best use of having extensive tattoos covered for his character.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but JB was raised in the US since age 8 and can switch back and forth between both accents with ease.
