Top 10 Best Fake American Accents
It seems to be a Hollywood chic to adopt a British accent for a UK role or 9even an ancient warrior), but the reverse is just as prevalent with Brits, Aussies, or other an actor of another nationality playing an American character.

This list excludes Canadian actors/actresses.
