Interesting. I always thought it was decent but then I don't know anyone from Baltimore.
In fairness it was ok after season 1. He has a few big slips in that season though. I’m probably being a bit harsh.

John Malkovich doing a DREADFUL French accent in Johnny English. It kinda works cos he's obviously taking the piss, but still it's terrible.

Christian Bale is does a pretty decent American accent.
Idris Elba too. The first movie I saw him in was ‘obsessed’ (actually a really good movie if you ignore beyonce’s terrible acting) and I was surprised to find out he was British.

French accents are always bad but I feel that it's never done seriously.

Sam Neill? He's a New Zealander but was born in Northern Ireland and lived there for some years as a kid so I'm not sure what his excuse would be.

I thought he was a northerner because of This Life and Teachers. I thought he was putting on the southern in Love Actually, but evidently not :lol:

Iz ziz how you are speaking in France, no?
We don't speak english in France but if we make no effort in terms of pronunciation it won't be far from that.

Edit: here you have an example of how bad it can be.
