Films where you first saw an actor known for doing a certain accent speaking in their native accent

[Clive42]

Saw the movie Everest on tv and noticed the actor Jason Clarke was speaking with an Australian/New Zealand accent. Looked it up and found out hes actually Australian, when I only knew him for Terminator 5, White House Down, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and the tv show Brotherhood, all with him doing an American accent.



Even when i first watched The Wire, i had seen part of Luther before (with a London accent) and didnt even realise Stringer was the same person.

So What films/tv shows have you seen that has an actor you know randomly speaking a different accent to what you usually see them do, only to find out that this is their original accent and they were doing a different accent the whole time?

I didn't know Jason from True Blood was Australian. I've only ever heard him speak Southern American.

Ironically I just watched the first half of the long good friday couple of days ago where hes the main character, with his native accent.

What films has he starred in trying different accents?

Jackson from sons of anarchy

Same. Saw him in pacific rim thinking he was American, then saw him in green street. Completely confused me.

Bare in mind hes from newcastle though and his cockney accent he puts on is a joke.

Yeah I saw Boardwalk Empire. Took me a while to realise it was the same guy from snatch.

Super Mario Bros

 

[Airtrack360]

Mel Gibson.

Also Chadwick Bowsman. I thought for sure he had a British accent but he's just an American

 

[TKOK]

Christain Bale and Charlie Hunnam(Jax tellar) both threw me off when i heard them talk in their native accent.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

I didnt know McNulty wasn't American until i heard him on the intro to Eminem's Relapse album

 

[Dominoes]

Mel Gibson.

Also Chadwick Bowsman. I thought for sure he had a British accent but he's just an American

No matter how random a thought, I can always count on thecoli to have someone else think the exact same thing

 

[MJ Truth]

Not really the same thing, but the first time I heard Vin Diesel speak in an interview I couldn't beileve it.

Pretty much all actors now
