Summary
I will defer to his videos for some of these takes, though the bad accents are quick to catch since some of these actors didn't even try.This uncanny performance by Jamie Foxx not only awarded him an Oscar for Best Leading Actor, but also ascended his career into the stratosphere as his collection of skills as a singer, actor, and impressionist were all on display. There's usually no debate that British and Australian actors have an extraordinary ability to perform American accents. It's yet another example of a British actor being able to portray a specific accent even American actors struggle with. Since Connery is already on this list for another film, I wanted to focus on the lead actor, Mr. Christopher Lambert, who just never landed the Scottish accent his character was supposed to have. Unfortunately for Butler, his Scottish accent is so thick that it tends to come out in almost every film he's ever been in and so it's hard to believe he's anything other than a Scot, but with that being said he still manages to deliver some fan-favorite movies, where, regardless of his accent, he still entertains. It's yet another performance of an accent that seems like something from a comedy sketch.
