My family doesn't use any British slang at all mainly due to the fact that there are other countries in Europe to be from.

Just as well - it's very expensive. Even with the overlarge arachnids.

Did this person die while waiting for a good answer? Sorry I was away.

Take 1 dead rat, rub it in dirt and leaves, lick it, then place it in front of the stairs and call me in he morning.

I feel like this is incomplete.

Should it be?

Or should something more be added to to the end?

Or am I just being crazy?

Oh and House owns. His "American" accent is just fine. Im pretty sure there was a thread somewhere talking about how there are so many different accents here in America, how do you define what is correct?

I HATE YOU CAUSE YOU DON'T DO WHAT I WANT

I mean I don't understand why House has to be American. I don't understand how it's integral to the character. There's nothing wrong with the way Hugh Laurie sounds naturally. As a matter of fact, I remember some TV show in the UK in which he played a very similar character (poorly socialized genius doctor) and he did just fine with his own accent there. It all seems unnecessary to me.

I can understand why, and it is very ugly and not at all nice.
Like someone pointed out before, (most of) America is not ready to like foreigners right now.

Kitsa · #42

Okay, but Tim Roth stars in "Lie to Me" immediately following the whole "House" thing and he kept his natural accent.

King Hadas · #43

You have to remember that Hugh Laurie auditioned for the part. It called for an American accent so Hugh delivered one, if he'd done it with a British accent he probably wouldn't of gotten the part because that's not what they were looking for.

I'd ask what's wrong with his accent but I bet it's one of those things that if you can't hear it then it can't be explained.

Jonathan Harris, of "Dr. Smith" fame was an American actor (born, I believe in Brooklyn) and worked very hard to lose the "Nooyahk" accent he grew up with. Apparently later in his career he was asked about his "British" upbringing, when he responded "I'm not British, just affected."
