I just watched Laurence Olivier’s Henry V last night, and the actor they had playing the Irish soldier Captain MacMorris had the worst Irish accent I’ve ever heard. I don’t think the actor playing him had ever met an actual Irishman before.

Well, Captain Fluellen did say that he was incompetent.

Who, Niall MacGinnis? Niall MacGinnis of Dublin? He must have met one or two, surely?
