Some of these characters are played by actors! Totally ruinz the show for me. (FYI Lester Freamon is almost a Brit.)

how did you find out mcnulty was british? listening to his accent in season 1, episode 1?
― caek, Saturday, 17 April 2010 13:08 (sixteen years ago)
no, i was watching the special features of the season 4 dvd. i lent season 1 to a friend, i'll have to see if i can pick up on it when i rewatch (or in season 5, which i haven't seen)
― mr. que surprise (k3vin k.), Saturday, 17 April 2010 15:11 (sixteen years ago)
you're saying it slips in the pilot?
once you know he's a brit it becomes pretty obvious. not so with idris elba -- well, i say that, but im a brit, so there are all sorts of non-americans i buy as americans.
mind you i think hugh laurie's american accent is terrible.
― Big Fate (as Alvin 'Xzibit' Joiner) (history mayne), Saturday, 17 April 2010 15:15 (sixteen years ago)
yeah mcnulty is really obvious but stringer sounds almost like a real black american. not one from baltimore though.
― harbl, Saturday, 17 April 2010 15:20 (sixteen years ago)
yeah now that i think of it mcnutty's gruffy vioce kinda reminds me of house's, which is kinda obvious. string was definitely more surprising

Something I've often wondered - when you get plummy English characters in US shows, normally butlers and suchlike - are they Americans doing the worst English accents of all time, or are they English journeymen actors hamming it up? And do they sound authentic to US ears? (not the guy from Fresh Prince, he's good)
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 17 April 2010 16:47 (sixteen years ago)
I think usually the latter, with unusual exceptions (Wesley and Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who were convincing). Feels like we've been getting more British and Australian actors posing as Americans in lead roles every year, so I don't think there's a shortage of foreign actors here.
House's accent is terrible though, really.

Dude even made it onto Torchwood! How many Americans actually make it onto the BBC and fake a British accent? (I actually have no idea)

yeah his "american accent" on torchwood was his real voice iirc
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 18 April 2010 07:25 (sixteen years ago)
no, spike's accent is rotten. I was just surprised nhex held it in regard. he's the proto-mcnulty
