has anyone heard of Damian Lewis? He's British but can put on a great American accent in Band of Brothers and Dreamcatcher.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

Victoria Clark's accent in Piazza was PAINFUL. Being from the South, I thought my ears were going to bleed everytime she opened her mouth.

Chiwetel Ejiofor's American accent is usually pretty impressive (though the only movie I've seen him play an American in was Talk to Me).

... okay, I'm so glad that other people didn't like Victoria Clark's accent. It mostly just bothers me when she's singing, but... I don't know anyone who pronounces the letter 'o' like that.

Dre, Damian Lewis is amazing! Life was a great show and prematurely canceled. Again, didn't realize he was British until I saw an interview.

Leia, I know!! If you love Damian Lewis, try and find the new Forsyte's Saga. I think Acorn Media did it. He plays a creepy character, kind of, but I fell in love with him in that show. And his acting is phenomenal! :)

As long as we're doing film...I think kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett are pretty freaking fantastic with accents.
