No, this is not a case where they don’t even bother; like Sean Connery or Jean Claude Van Damme. This is those, whose actual accents keeps slipping through, noticeably in every work.
Andie McDowell; she does not use a Southern Accent usually, but it keeps breaking through all the time; sounds like the character is doing a Scarlett O’Hara impression.
Aiden Gillen on Game of Thrones; ca’;t seem to decide from one sentence to the othe whether he is going for Irish or RP.
One obvious answer is Charlie “Jax Teller” Hunnam. He’s a good actor when he’s using his native accent but he did not quite cut it as a biker from California.
If you mean the pseudo southern accent she used in Monster’s Ball, then I couldn’t agree more. It was a gripping film and she did okay with the part but I think she would have merited that award much more if she’d worked with a dialect coach.
Yeah, I guess he doesn’t fit the OP, since he did Robin Hood without even attempting (at least, in final shooting) any kind of accent. I believe there are hilariously bad outtakes of early attempts.
Christopher Lambert’s… extremely peculiar accent has to fit in here somewhere. Not sure where.
