I always thought Cary Elwes did a great american accent. -- -------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ---------- It is weird how the British actors can do an american accent so well, yet none of the American actors seem to be able to do a British accent at all. Oi!!! We diasagree!!! Also, There's Gwenneth Paltrow and Renee Zelwegger. They are both quite good I think. . .

ok......so maybe i was wrong about bale......i remember a scene from Terminator Salvation during the "stay the course" speech where his accent comes straight through. pretty obvious where....just listen to how he says "connor" and one more addition.....scott speedman....i seriously thought he was american

Dominic West who played Jimmy McNulty in 'The Wire' was pretty convincing. In fact, I thought he was Irish/American, until I heard an interview with him.

It's a period accent, but I love Daniel Day Lewis' way of speaking in There Will Be Blood. And I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned - Mel Gibson. That guy just straight up became an american.

It's a period accent, but I love Daniel Day Lewis' way of speaking in There Will Be Blood. Last of the Mohicans too. He was so good in that movie.

It is weird how the British actors can do an american accent so well, yet none of the American actors seem to be able to do a British accent at all. I couldn't agree more. Watching an American trying to be "British" is almost always laughable, yet the brits seem to nail the american accent more than the other way around. No idea why...?

Last of the Mohicans too. He was so good in that movie. Ohhhhh. . .and Gangs of New York. . .let's not forget that one. Daniel Day-Lewis is the man though.

Best US Accent? I refer you to Band of Brothers....all pretty good eh?? But you know what, sometimes I hear an actor do an American accent but I realise that I wouldn't have as finer ear for this stuff as an American doing a British accent - the only OK one is Natalie Portman in....The Other Boelynn Girl - no not V for Vendetta - that accent was terrible. I'm sure the US accents have such small intricacies that someone like me just won't be able to hear it and comment on what I think is flawless - all it takes is a small drop or adding of a sylabel and the whole thing falls over.... Xtian Bale tho - TERRIBLE!

Ohhhhh. . .and Gangs of New York. . .let's not forget that one. Daniel Day-Lewis is the man though. Amen! This guy wins every competition, hands down. I love that film, mostly because of The Butcher.
