I had a similar thought about Fleabag. It's so so so dang British. It's funny, but the whole passive aggressive thing coats that show. I do love how it's intercut with the constant 4th wall breaking by the main character, so much so that it's not even breaking the wall, it pulls you in as a character in a way. It's

Holt slowly and deliberately smashing the beer bottle threateningly is a highlight.

Yeah, and you can kind of see that they seem to write them in a way that has them rubbing off on each other. Such as Amy's subplot in the prison (although I know it was greatly designed as a means of hiding Fumero's real life pregnancy), where she took on a lot of gungho personality aspects, like she was acting out

I know the character is supposed to be a Jew from London. But that means nothing to me as far as accents go.

Yeah, I think I heard him say that too. And kind of… but it's still got some weirdness to it.

Yeah, that must be part of his genius. His accents are just their own thing.

Fair nuff.

I watched some English miniseries, and the actor - I dont know his name, but he is in a ton of stuff… Survivors, he was in the famous Mitchell & Webb Numberwang bit, Leftovers - had this bizarre southern accent. It was offputting.

On 11th street.

DUDE I can only dream.

"I'm Wayne Brady, bitch!"

I always get thrown out of 'Jesus Walks' when he seems to refer to Happy Gilmore with the line "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?" cause then all I think about is that.

Enjoyable fellow, the world will miss people like that. R.I.P.
Condolences to his family.

lol
And it's not just his accent, he does all kinds of facial-throat tic things, licking his lips a little, scratching his throat, sniffling, a little nasally here and there…

Yeah, I have heard that many times. Dude had that down.

BOOM, take the blue pill Mr. Anderson!

I listened to director Kevin Reynolds talk about that - this was maybe 2 years after the movie came out - and he said that Costner's accent would get better or worse depending on how irritated he would get with Reynolds about how they were shooting a scene and when Reynolds would point it out to him, his English

That is one of my favorite moments of all of Tarantino's movies. That particular movie goes so deep in hiding accents and cultural affectations, and it deals with characters uncovering so much of that.

That one dude playing the Irish mobster has a funny accent. He also played a crazed Russian rich person in a cable commercial around that time and had a hilarious accent there too.
