Evil British in Hollywood

Some British actors are better for sure. Older actors especially have a vast range of experience. I don't think you can say that generally actors from one country are better than from another though.
 
when the shoe fits...

when you can stare something like star wars straight in the face, and even acknowledge that vadar has an american accent but still make ludicrious claims that it still supports your thesis that brits are always baddies because some of the officers beside vader were brits..while totally ignoring obi wan and the american storm troopers you have got some special blinders on. that kind of bias just is most likely pure anti americanism, you can't get around it. go back and read the thread, the charges claimed against america as being anti brit were hardly light hearted.



lol, you are one to talk. you keep avoiding the issue that when you take account of ALL films in a year it doesn't look good for you. only when you disingenuously cherry pick can you pull off nonsense like claiming that ian mckellen as magneto is evidence of english being portrayed as baddies in film while ignoring that professor X in the very same film was also a brit.
 
I'mnot sure but I woner if Thibault meant a British character played by a British actor. Scotty (James Doohan) was Canadian and I have now discovered Bashir (Alexander Siddig) was born in the Sudan.
 
Yes, some. At least half a dozen I could identify, and I could tell the difference between others without knowing where they are from. I imagine the average American might know 'posh English', 'Northern', Scottish and Irish.

I'm not trying to insult Americans, I just think typically the average American knows less about our accents than we do about theirs, probably because their media is more dominant and because we are small so look outwarRAB more.
 
Ahh Marina Sirtis from Star Trek...Id love to see her at a convention and says "You were the barmaid who Terry chatted up in Minder S1- sign this Minder DVD love" -- LoL
 
Marina Sirtis was the actress, she had a funny accent in Star Trek, I am not sure what it was meant to be, but there again she was from another world :)
 
Yeah she was an alien. :D. Actually she had some sort of strange Betazoid accent that I think Mirina based partly on a Turkish accent given her family origins. Funnily enough she dropped it for the movies for a pseudo-American accent.
