Which actors (british or australian) do you think do the most convincing American accents? A lot of them are taking on American roles.


I'd say
Christian Bale
Toni Collette (she does the best one I think)
Naomi Watts
Kate Winslet
Bob Hoskins in Roger Rabit
Gary Oldman
Rachel Griffiths
Hugh Jackman
Tom Wilkinson
Hugh Laurie in House

Hugh Laurie definitely gets my vote. I thought he was joking the first time I heard him speak out of character.

Melissa George!

Rachel Griffiths in Six Feet Under

totally!


also
guy pearce, esp in memento
christian bale
kate winslet
eric bana


im no expert, but it seems like overall, aussies have an easier time. i think there's something about the australian accent that's closer to american, verus british to american. welsh also seems a bit closer.
