right an actor by any other accent would
not sound a sweet shit man I’m a
natural-born killer welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 actors who
don’t do accents me help you
for this list or looking at movie actors
who almost never alter their real voices
to take on an accent for a role he may
have my soul he doesn’t have my spirit
no matter who the character is or where
he comes from in the world these actors
frequently choose to just go with the
voice they were born with for better or
worse I can’t try capital murder case
for $900 Kali I need to live number 10
Tom Cruise I feel the need
hey we start our list with a poster boy
for Hollywood action movies often
playing the good-looking if slightly
arrogant hero of the flick Cruz has
never really needed to put on an accent
in any of his movies
you’re worried about me why well unless
you count that time he struggled to
convincingly portray an Irish immigrant
in far and away keep walking let’s
fathers being buried today as his career
progresses more interesting stories come
along and Cruz has the chance to tackle
more varied characters but fortunately
for fans Cruz just keeps on doing what
he does best being Tom Cruise even if
that means playing an army officer and
Nazi Germany during World War two
without a German accent we can searcher
what number nine Christopher Walken you
amuse me Mr Bond if we’ve learned
anything from watching Christopher
Walken’s many movies it’s that he’s from
New York and he’s damn proud of it I
like the trees you know including his
Academy Award winning supporting role in
The Deer Hunter Walken has appeared in
over a hundred movies in his career and
with each new role comes a different
character varying from villain to hero
from father figure to gangster the ice
is gonna break however each of these
characters has two distinct things in
common that particular manner of
speaking and that famous New York accent
hey you know you’re committed to your
accent when you’re playing a german-born
villain who’s the product of Nazi
experimentation and you still sound like
you’re from Queens more more power
number eight
Michael Caine what I loved ones and what
I love now two different things in the
60s and 70s Michael Caine was considered
one of Hollywood’s cool guys you’re only
supposed to blow the bloody doors off
starring in movies like The Italian Job
Alfie and Get Carter Kane became
synonymous with the lovable rogue and
antihero character manager in bad shape
but maybe it’s a full-time job now
behave yourself with a career that
spanned over fifty years Michael Caine
is only one of two actors that’s been
nominated for an Academy Award in every
decade from the nineteen
60s – mm just configure the legal
ramifications of bringing you back from
the dead
that’s impressive in itself but what’s
even more impressive is that he’s
achieved all of this while sticking to
his English cockney accent which has
become one of the most famous and
mimicked accents in all of Hollywood if
those ought to be the first of many
injuries to come it will be wise to find
a suitable excuse polo braces number
seven Nicolas Cage some actors just let
their distinct acting style do the
talking
case in point Nic Cage don’t just break
your heart
since cage first burst onto the movie
scene in the 1980s he’s thrown himself
into every role committing fully to each
interaction movement and line maybe I
shouldn’t breathe so much cherry huh
often called over-the-top although Roger
Ebert more kindly labelled his work
operatic cage himself has actually named
his acting style
he calls it Nouveau shamanic my daddy
once said if you don’t make a choice a
choice makes you however no matter what
kind of character cage plays his accent
in style rarely if ever change and
that’s a good thing if you take into
consideration the few times he has
attempted an accent the blood we still
hears on our blades our souls not cause
number 6 Woody Harrelson yo I think my
joke loosen him up a little first coming
to the public’s attention as lovable
bartender woody Boyd in the sitcom
Cheers
woody harrelson eventually took that
sweet and innocent style into the world
of movie comedies in films like wild
cats did I ever tell you what a good
slap back pain however after leaving
Cheers Harrelson took on more diverse
roles he’s played everything from a
mass-murderer in Natural Born Killers to
the real-life hustler founder in the
biopic the People vs Larry Flynt to an
alcoholic mentor in The Hunger Games
this is the
I show them everything they’ll be a bow
make sure you use it but what it boils
down to is that whether he’s playing the
bad guy or the hero Harrelson does it
more often than not with a sincere style
and the natural Texas accent that fans
have come to expect and love you ain’t
seen them for years
number five Kevin Costner when
everybody’s in your vette
no man deserves a dying man during the
late 80s and early 90s Kevin Costner was
one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars
gonna get correct order to arrest this
man thanks to movies like no way out
Field of Dreams The Bodyguard and
Academy award-winning films like JFK and
Dances with Wolves Dances with Wolves
how do you say it
Costner proved he was unstoppable the
actor also channeled his charisma as a
natural leading man into the role of the
heroic and legendary Robin Hood seems
I’ve made it past the gate John little
or should I call you Little John and
though the mythical character is
traditionally portrayed with an English
accent Costner’s native Californian
dialect was what we got for the majority
of the film well that and a lot of
kick-ass action to be fair though
Costner’s career hasn’t been hampered by
his lack of accents so maybe it’s best
to just stick with what you know
didn’t you hear what I said what are you
deaf
number four Matthew McConaughey what the
hell are you doing huh it’s not a
goddamn democracy many actors live in
fear of typecasting that they may be
stuck in a certain genre or playing a
certain sort of character for the rest
of their career at one point it seemed
like Matthew McConaughey was being
pigeon-holed as either a STONER Beach
lover who didn’t own a shirt or a
rom-com lead who didn’t own a shirt why
did Steve go to the movies with you
let’s see first of all Steve likes the
movies in either type of role
McConaughey’s trademark Texas accent and
unique speaking cadence are an advantage
as he easily plays both surfer dudes and
the charming easygoing guy women fall
for when I said you before the judgement
it’s almost how it works here
however when more challenging roles come
up McConaughey rises to the occasion
sticking with his trademark drawl
whether he’s playing a lawyer
a US Navy lieutenant
or an AIDS sufferer entire I feel like
I’m fine flap I’m singing at time to
Leah
number three Arnold Schwarzenegger I’ll
be back with perhaps the only notable
exception being his attempt in red heat
Arnold Schwarzenegger has never altered
his Austrian accent for a role something
he’s made no excuses for Soviet war in
nine point two millimeter his world’s
most powerful handgun when he immigrated
to the u.s. at the age of 21 Arnie had
very few English words in his vocabulary
arsenal that’s obviously changed but the
accent undeniably has not a result of
him learning English as an adult here
sub-zero now playing zero whether he’s
starring in an action film a thriller or
a comedy the former mr. universe shows
that he’s taken what could have been a
limitation and turned it into an
unmistakable trademark and in the
process Schwarzenegger became one of the
most impersonal planet so I did nothing
the pavement was his enemy number two
Tommy Lee Jones checkpoints go up 50
miles your fugitives name is dr. Richard
Kimble Tommy Lee Jones can instantly add
credibility to any movie he’s in whether
he’s playing a stone-faced but
compassionate Marshall in the fugitive
taking on the comedy genre with men in
black or diving into the comic book
world with a role in Captain America the
First Avenger
with each performance and with each new
genre Jones has also demonstrated that
he and his rough Texas twang can add
gravitas to any movie and he does all of
this by almost never changing a note in
his accent all right we’ll just pulsar
level five is subsonic implosion factor
one just shoot the damn thing on account
screen in short Tommy Lee Jones pretty
much uses his own voice at all times but
that’s what audiences love about it I
don’t want you guys using words remedy
got no meaning I’m taking the stairs at
all no honorable mentions this time
around put a sock in it I don’t care who
does walk to your Hershey Highway number
one Sean Connery when the world trembled
at the sound of our rockets Lee will
tremble again at the sound of our
silence some actors have such a powerful
screen presence that they often don’t
need to do anything other than be
themselves or at the very least sound
like themselves Sean Connery is one of
those actors make sure when your shift
is over you go home alive since he first
appeared as James Bond in dr. know
Connery has essentially kept his strong
Scottish accent for every role
thereafter I admire your luck mr. bond
James Bond whether that’s playing a
Soviet submarine captain in the Hunt for
Red October an Irish American cop living
in Chicago in the Untouchables or an
Egyptian immortal in the Highlander
Connery is Scottish and proud why does
the Sun come up hmm what are the stars
just pin holes in the curtain of night
however the fact that Connery has never
dropped his accent for a role has only
made him more iconic and that’s why he’s
number one on our list funny I thought
you’d turn up sooner or later
do you agree with our list whatever Gary
when other actors can you think of that
don’t do accents all right that’s gonna
get it all of it
want you to the next transport off this
rocker I’m gonna shoot you why don’t go
back for more entertaining top 10s
