bros, read what i wrote again. Adkins can't pull off a c0nvincing American accent. Take for instance christian bale, you'd be shocked to find out he isn't american. Brits find it hard maintaining an american accent unless method actors. Trust me, Adkins accent always shows. Just like Henry Cavill. Cavill's british accent always c0mes off when he's trying to act in a cool scene. The part that'll expose him is bruce wayne. Pulling off an accent is different fr0m being c0nvincing while speaking in it.

you don't know what you're talking about.

brits and aussies are very good with accents.

it's amerians that are not good with accents.

really? Then why does katie mcgrath [actress fr0m merlin] find it difficult using an american accent or henry cavill in his early acting roles. C0me on, every nigerian can mimic an american accent but it w0n't be c0nvincing.

then obviously, u d0n't have an ear for accents. Then you'd be c0nvinced of chiwetel ejiofor's fake nigerian accent in half of a yellow sun. Or thandie newt0n's accent's in that film.


Dont assign nonsense to me. I never said anything about Chiwetel Ejiofor or Thandie Newton.


Scott Adkins has been doing American accents for many years and I believe that he has improved greatly. Just watch IP man 4. He did a southern American accent well.

bro you're forgetting one thing - america has several accents.

there is the texan accent, the new york city accent, long island accent, california accent, southern belle accent, mid western accent, new england accent, etc.

the brits tend to speak new england accent very well because of the similarities between the r.p (received pronunciation aka standard british english) and the new england accent, particularly the boston variation. both accents are non rhotic in the sense that both have silent "r" unlike the standard american accent and other regional american accents.

so while a brit speaking american accent may convince a new englander, a californian won't be.

so unless you're a linguist with a phd on american english regional accents, i respectfully call bullshit on the bolded.

Scottish and Irish actors whose accents are very strong find it hard to do American accents.

Sean Connery is another example.

But English actors do very good American accents.

Americans can only do posh english accents. Many cant do Scottish or Irish or even inner london accents.

hugh laurie, idris alba, jack o'connell, Christian bale, hugh grant, etc are brits that have done a variety of american accents convincingly.

hugh jackman, nicole kidman, mel gibson, etc are aussies that have done a variety of american accents convincingly.

i dnt get it. D0n't u guys read what i wr0te? I said 0nly method actors who are Brits can pull off a c0nvincing american accent and i made menti0n of christian bale and pattins0n. Adkins is n0t a method actor, he's m0stly a martial artist. It's n0t abt sounding american, it's being c0nvincing in it.

bro you don't need to be a method actor to pull off an american accent.

you don't even need to be a native english speaker to pull it off.

just hire a world class language coach and you're good to go.

even a life long mere exposure to american media can make someone that has never been to america affect a decent american accent.

stellan skygaard is a swedish actor but has been able to pull off american and english accents very well.

The American accent is the easiest to master in my opinion, the Brit and Aussie needs serious practice to learn

1st thing 1st, Adkins is British. He can't pull off an American accent convincingly. He'd be great doing the stunts but he can't act. He really can't. I've seen lots of his films, he plays same character in all of them. Same facial expression, he reads his line rather than act them. Trust me, you d0n't want him playing Bruce wayne.
1st of all, is Pattinson not British also? Adkins has not been on a good romance movie. He's always on a low budget movie like undisputable etc. That's why it seems he's not a good actor. Give him a chance to prove himself on the big stage.

I know Bale is British but yeah I get your example. There's a lot of Brit actors with convincing American accents that aren't method actors. Also remember Practice makes perfect, so Adkins' accent could be better than the last time you heard it. It took Pattinson a while to shed the traces of his Brit accent, too.

At the bolded, so if Adkins stars in a romance movie, you'd gladly see it? As it's right now, he finds it difficult to act in an action movie & you're suggesting he should consider romance movies. Hmm!.. Even he himself wouldn't consider the offer of staring in a romance movie.

There is actually a sub-genre of horror called comedy-horror

I know about that. I went in expecting a hardcore horror thriller. I should have read about the film before seeing it.
