> [@Dr.Winston\_OBoogie](#): > > Between the 4 musketeers, you have 4 different accents, and they’re supposed to be from the same (general) area and same (general) class of people. Throw in Leonardo DeCraprio with NO accent, and it gets worse. Worst job by John Malkovich. More inexplicable was Richard Chamberlain’s accent in the 1973 version of _The Three Musketeers_. He’s an American and he was playing a French character. But for some reason he used a British accent. ---
