oh he’s not faking how a character
speaks can tell an audience a lot about
him I don’t we could I don’t we could uh
which is why it’s hard to believe these
actors are not originally from the US of
A so pretty much everyone in Si ideas
work this album eat welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 actors you
probably thought were American I have to
get in front of a camera for this list
we’re considering actors and actresses
who frequently play American characters
but who are not themselves American born
need to see his baby mama need to see
his child too only one thing he needs to
be secure about it if not he might start
think he can to that time number 10 Yael
stone I’m Lorna Morello y’all stone had
made a name for herself as an actress in
her native Australia but decided to give
New York a try in 2011 and just missing
my fiance Chris suffice all within a few
months she had been chosen to play Lorna
Morello in the groundbreaking Netflix
series orange is the new black too many
people want to come you know I got a big
family big number wise not big dad
although there are synthetic
if the prospect of capturing the
characters unique Brooklyn by way of
Boston accent daunted stone you can’t
tell it from the results on screen
felony murder her inflection seemed to
pour forth naturally making it difficult
for many to believe she was actually
born half a world away I get good deals
I’m a savvy shopper and Christopher
likes me to look sophisticated he says
I’m like Audrey Hepburn what’s my number
nine Stephen Moyer
well England Stephen Moyer somehow seems
right at home in the deep south environs
of True Blood wanna drink the blood they
collected for that matter so does
australia’s ryan Kwanten playing Jason
Stackhouse oscy Oh Jason I want to be
new Jason sure it could be a result of
simple southern hospitality but it’s
more likely pure skill we don’t live for
our weaknesses to be made public
knowledge as the vampire king of
Louisiana Moyers Bill Compton is a
commanding and galvanizing figure who
said anything about sex the actor
captures his mesmerizing intense
character perfectly while still coming
across as someone right at home in
small-town Louisiana well I want to make
this town my home so
I do number eight Rose burn you’re so
hilarious honey when Rose burns
character and neighbors practices
telling someone to keep it down keep it
down it’s hard to believe this flat
American voice belongs to an actress
from Australia the same is true when the
actress is presenting her reception
speech in bridesmaids uh you better not
keep my lil on a leash because I still
need my drunken Saturday nights at
rockin sushi okay or when sealing
schemes on the TV series damages tell me
what I have to do and I’ll do it
burn is an exceptionally fine actress
who brings a special quality to about
anything she does for ability to come
across as convincingly American is just
part of what makes her special the great
night desert wine is out number seven
Simon Baker does it play nearly as well
does it Australia gave the world Simon
Baker and American TV audiences are very
glad they did I want the killer could
have painted on the correct wall here
but he didn’t because he didn’t know
better because he isn’t Red John Baker
used his considerable gifts to bring to
life Patrick Jane a fraudulent psychic
who helps find murderers as The
Mentalist three working Baker’s
character is able to use his keen
observational skills to mimic those of a
psychic the actor similarly uses his own
observational skills to create a
compelling Lee American character in
Patrick Jane
faithful work yeah thank you number six
Christian Bale
I’m Batman Batman is certainly one of
the most iconic characters in American
pop culture his unquenchable thirst for
justice challenged by an equally strong
desire for vengeance strikes chords deep
within the American psyche I will go
back to Gotham and I will fight
like this but I will not become an
executioner the Christian Bale a Wales
born actor could capture him so
brilliantly is a testament to the actors
skill you coming back to go forth along
so long as it takes I’m going to show
the people of Gotham their city doesn’t
belong to the criminals in the corrupt
hearing Bale let free with his own
native accent in other roles makes one
appreciate the care he brought to the
speech patterns and cadences of Bruce
Wayne and his alter ego he’s a hero
are you live long enough to see yourself
become the villain number five Aaron
taylor-johnson just walk away from the
car and we can forget about this comic
book superheroes got their start in the
US and somehow costumed vigilantes have
become a part of American culture come
on be honest with yourself
at some point in our lives we all wanted
to be a superhero
kick-ass films are steeped in this
American mythology even if they have a
different take on it so hiring the
English Aaron taylor-johnson to play the
title character may have been risky on
paper you know what I’m thinking of just
shutting my site down anyway
quitting and this is Shane on film with
a little help from a dialect coach
Taylor Johnson came through with flying
colors from tickets
as a matter of fact he did better
portraying an American then his
character did portraying a superhero
with no power comes no responsibility
except
that wasn’t true
number four Damian Lewis not really too
good at making speeches Damian Lewis is
well known to audiences for his terrific
performances as the complex Nicholas
Brody in homeland and the real-life dick
winters in band of brothers it’s an
idiotic theory especially in your case
his portrayal of these two military men
are unforgettable does it really matter
how it happened not bad for a man born
in England whose grandfather was a Lord
Mayor of London and whose ancestors
include a doctor to the royal family
thank you sir it’s not my objective
watching Brody or winters it’s hard to
believe lewis comes from across the pond
yeah yeah well we’re not sunning
ourselves by the lake
number three isla Fisher right so Isla
Fisher’s parents are Scottish what she
was born in Oman then spent some time in
Scotland before passing most of her
childhood and youth in Australia uh I
mean I like shopping
is there anything so wrong with that so
with all those different influences in
her past
how does she play American so easily and
persuasively I just I’ve made so many
mistakes and I feel like taking this job
would be another one whether she’s the
sexually enthusiastic Gloria of wedding
crashers yeah okay
that’s what that’s not okay oh oh yeah
oh yeah that’s fun the effervescent
mary-jane and scooby-doo nanny chain or
the adulterous Myrtle in the Great
Gatsby Fisher comes across as totally
American yeah
can we get the talk to the apartment
number to you Laurie doesn’t fit any
diagnosis for eight years the very
British Hugh Laurie portrayed the very
American dr. Gregory House on TV and
netted six Emmy nominations for his
trouble I was expecting in my office 20
minutes ago
really that’s odd cuz I had no intention
of being your office twenty minutes ago
a cynical curmudgeon with an acidic wit
the character of house is so
specifically rooted in an American
social and Geographic milieu that it
makes Lori’s ability to inhabit the
character especially impressive any
other reason why you think you might
have chronic fatigue syndrome it should
also be noted that throughout 177
episodes Lori’s accent never breaks to
reveal his British origins I like things
the way they are I get just a puzzle to
solve without the scornful visits from
you until now perhaps because that’s
exactly the kind of flaw that the
character of house would mercilessly
mock it’s five o’clock I’m going home
– what nice before we reveal our top
pick here are some honorable mentions
we’re not doing business with him God
please don’t make me walk you through
this thank you for what for believing in

species take over I got no answers my
family plan is right out of the Sidney
handbook I’m a friend amis I thought we
could walk to school you’re Norman Bates
yeah yes
number one Andrew Lincoln Rick Grimes
zombies are popular worldwide but for
some reason they do tend to congregate
in America on film and in TV I hope you
come find us good be careful that’s why
it’s such a surprise to find that Rick
Grimes the southerner who leads the
Walking Dead’s Hardy survivors he is
played by a man born and raised in
England they might have lived Karen and
David they might have lived and now
they’re dead Andrew Lincoln’s work in
The Walking Dead is beautifully
calibrated and he is the anchor that
holds the series together please help us
we are women children no food audience
gasps left
let’s look nowhere else to go any false
notes including a slip in accent would
be jarring to the carefully constructed
world the series creates and he never
lets that happen
