fools me all the time.
I'd be watching a movie assuming he/she is American and when I Google them after the movie/show I find out they're foreign.

happened with Jax Teller and Rick Grimes. :beli:

Man I NEVER knew Jax wasnt American till like 3 weeks ago when I was watching that SOA after show and this cat started talking. I'm like "the fukk is wrong with him" then I googled

I knew about Jax from his Undeclared days.

When I saw him on Sons I had to second guess myself because I wasn't sure.

I guess I was late to the game cuz I only started watch SOA like after I saw Pacific Rim. I for the longest kinda hated on that show and thought it was some "white trash" shyt till one of my peeps really put me on..... I've been a fan ever since.

But Pacific Rim was like my 1st time really seeing and knowing who Charlie H is and he aint have the accent in that movie either

What do you guys think of this?

I remember finding out McNulty did this and I was :mindblown:

It catches me off guard, but I don't mind.

Lol - McNulty was the one person I came in here to name. Met him in London a few years back, when I was at the National Film Theatre to watch Spike Lee's student movie. I see him walking towards me and think 'I know you from somewhere'. Then I get the :gladbron: and stopped him. He sounds posh as hell. I almost offered to buy him a whiskey and a beer.

australians and english people stay with the official aamerican accents. i usually dont get caught off guard since i watch a bunch of british tv. McNulty, Carcetti and Stringer were the last ones i didnt know off top

i think its corny because nobody will accept americans doing those accents most of the time. it happens but i've noticed every show/movie has someone from wales or some shyt playing american.

I usually can't tell for shyt, but with Jax it was obvious to me just from watching the show. Every time he yells or has an emotional scene the accent is out in full force. I don't even think he's trying half the time in this last season :heh:
