from what i hear via boston folks, his boston accent is solid. apparently his "rhodesian" accent was close to spot-on?

― ('_') (omar little), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 20:40 (fifteen years ago)

I don't think it's the quality of the accents so much as he always sounds identifiably like himself that triggers this awareness that this is an actor playing a character instead of him disappearing into it.

― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 20:43 (fifteen years ago)

^^ my problem with brad pitt (except the quality is pretty shitty too)

― dyao, Wednesday, 17 February 2010 02:16 (fifteen years ago)

i recall reading an article about irish accents in film back around the time of 'the devil's own' in the late '90s and the irish folks they talked to said pitt's accent was not bad. they lolled @ tom cruise's lucky charms accent in 'far and away', though.
