Brit/Aussie actors that do best American Accents

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.

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.

oh I forgot about Guy Pearce. He's really good. Toni Collette said she finds it easy to do an American accent because she grew up watching a lot of American television and in Australia they are more familiar with the American accent than the brits because of that reason. Yes Aussie's seem to be really good at it but Kate Winslet isn't Australian and to me in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind her american accent seems impeccable. And that must be hard because most actors from britain that try to do american accents aren't really convincing like Jude Law and Ewan McGregor but Kate's really considering she's a brit and they use their throat muscles in a different way altogether than americans do when speaking.

Well except an Aussie. The Simpsons did a hideous job. I wonder if that is what we sound like to Americans?

Christian Bale *dribble dribble*

I think you'd be hard pushed to find an American actor that can pull of British Accents!
