It's easier to get smart people to sound like idiots than to get idiots to sound smart.

American actors are fine at doing an RP accent (John Lithgow was great as Churchill in The Crown), but they can't do any other kind of British accent very well.
To be fair most Brits can't do other British accents very well.

>sound smart
Don't google Tom Holland's real voice.
David Brooks
More exposed to American media than Americans are to British.
Brody Cook
Americans are less critical of British actors than the British are of American actors
Luke Fisher
you've got that backwards
Carter Robinson
the only British actors who can do American accents well are Michael Caine and Gary Oldman
Brody Cruz
>John Lithgow was great as Churchill in The Crown)
Probably the best Churchill I've seen. Better than Gary Oldman.

England is a small island with many distinct accents while United States are basically a full continent with thousands of different accents so its easier to pull of just an American one. If they try to do a distinct American accent like New Jersey or Baltimore it becomes very apparent. If Idris Elba actually tried a black Baltimore accent on the wire instead of generic american, he'd sound like a moron.
Nicholas Bailey
Bale's British and he can barely do a British accent. His normal voice is so fucking odd and unplaceable.
Adrian Brooks
English actors go to acting school. American actors go to acting.
Alexander Kelly
He's Welsh, it's a strange derivative
Logan Thompson
Bale, Oldman and Hunnam are the trifectas of fucked up accents from overexposure.
Landon Edwards
Christopher Eccleston does a perfect American accent. It's impeccable.
Levi Lopez
Best British accent in cinema. Peer kino.
David James
He says he identifies as English despite being born in Wales - to English parents.
Joseph James
I’m from Quebec, we watched many films from France in school, we didn’t develop any French accent.
Blake Gray
I don't know his Midlands accent was alright in Ford vs. Ferrari.
Michael Lee
Are you serious? Brits can't do American accents
They can do the generic newscaster accent but that's it
Hugh Laurie's House accent was probably the best I've heard because he sounded like an American instead of trying to sound American
Thomas Myers
that greats but thats not what he said you dumb esl nigger
Hudson James
>United States are basically a full continent
does American education really?
