Hoowhe...What about Keanu in Much Ado About Nothing. Hoowhee was that stinky. But I do have to give it to Costner for Robin Hood. <BR/><BR/>I didn't see The Brothers Grimm, but I was embarrassed for young Damon in the snippets of his fake British accent that I heard on the t.v. trailers. <BR/><BR/>Why is it that British actors seem to have an easier time of faking an American accent than the other way around?dorothy rothschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732990831552864423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1128995337746892292005-10-10T18:48:00.000-07:002005-10-10T18:48:00.000-07:00I love William Hurt, whose acting was top quality ...I love William Hurt, whose acting was top quality in the past.<BR/><BR/>What about a list of actresses with bad accents?BarbaraFromCaliforniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16154135502964236043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1128983283256220152005-10-10T15:28:00.000-07:002005-10-10T15:28:00.000-07:00William Hurt was great in Gorky Park. John Voight...William Hurt was great in Gorky Park. John Voight was great with a German accent in The Odessa File. The American guys in Spinal Tap were great. In fact, I much prefer their fake British Accent to a real british accent. Also I was very good when my wife met me for the fist time in Chicago and thought I was from Liverpool. <BR/><BR/>But anything with Kevin Costner where he isn't either a cowboy, baseball player, or military man stinks. <BR/><BR/>And Sean Connery wasssh playing a Lithuanian, not a Russshan.

Speaking of ...I always confuse him with John Heard. Speaking of Heard, I ran into him at Costco last week. <BR/><BR/>The man looked like he had just rolled out of bed. Now I don't care all that much about how people look, but he looked so bad that I couldn't help but notice. Someone should tell him that wearing pajama bottoms at 2 PM in public looks weird.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1128977431285844272005-10-10T13:50:00.000-07:002005-10-10T13:50:00.000-07:00Let me add William Hurt to your list of bad accent...Let me add William Hurt to your list of bad accents, particularly in the new movie "A History of Violence," which I would grade C- or D+.
