      Hugh Laurie having House do a fake British accent on the phone was pretty great too, especially since it was an exaggeratedly jovial posh accent (essentially Bertie Wooster)https://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1217897566790201344 …

      Alexandra Erin @AlexandraErin
      Can we talk about how great James Marsters was as Spike doing a fake American accent? He could have just stopped doing a fake British accent but he added another layer to it instead. It is my favorite voice. "No, surr. I'm a friend of Xandurr's."

      Yes, the story is that Bryan Singer was against casting a British actor with a fake accent because he thought they were never really convincing, they always faked something generically "American" rather than a specific time and place

      And so when making this point he pulled up Hugh Laurie's audition tape as an example saying "Look, see, this guy is a real American, you know where he came from and how he was raised"

      Which is hilarious because not only was he wrong but it means he didn't even recognize Hugh Laurie, who was far from an obscure actor

      He must have had a good voice coach before then, because whenever he did an American accent for a sketch in the show he did with Stephen Fry back in the 80's, it was really cringe-worthy.

      American accents are surprisingly easy to fake. There's enough variety that most people will assume that you're from that one town just beside the one that's famous. I've been mistaken for American while in America without even trying due to my rather neutral Irish accent.

      Well, yes and no Americans don't watch that much foreign media so we aren't used to trying to catch out people doing a fake one But a lot of Brits really are really bad at it

          Replying to @arthur_affect @Teknogrot and

          But yeah I remember watching Sherlock on the BBC and being like "Wow Moriarty is doing a thing where he rapidly switches between different accents so no one can know where he's from" but no that's just Andrew Scott's normal Dublin accent

          What I really enjoyed most in recent years is Jack Reynor in Transformers 5. When his "Irish" accent slips you get to hear his actual Irish accent and people complained about the yank being cast.
