really that’s what you’re gonna go with
okay welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 worst accents on TV yo and I
think Jenny might be in trouble
I think kris has got her involved in
something so if there’s anything you
know before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re ranking
actors who put on an accent for their
television roles with hilariously bad
results for the record we know that
acting is hard and establishing a
credible accent is even more challenging
but we just couldn’t resist having a
little fun pointing out these
embarrassing examples number 10
Julianne Moore 30 rock pulling off a
Boston accent can prove difficult even
for established and respected actors
such as Julianne Moore you know what
that felt really good so I’ll see you at
lunch in fact maybe her sterling
reputation is part of why her wicked bad
bass and pronunciation as Nancy Donovan
in 30 rock is so noticeable what you’re
aware I could do Donaghey we’re not
knocking Moore’s prestigious
accomplishments or general acting
ability that maybe she would have been
better off leaving Beantown alone and
either trying a different dialect or
just using her normal speaking voice but
every time you see what you don’t want
you sound like a cranky cow and you’re
not that you’re smart and you’re fun
because this is just painful
number 9 Michael Rapaport justified
sometimes the best aspects of an actor’s
performance can be those subtle touches
that allow them to sink naturally into a
role sadly there’s none of that present
when New York’s own Michael Rapaport
attempts his best southern draw on the
FX series justified just take them to
the Vista vert a motel in Miami
23 it office will be there waiting for
me the actors character Darryl Crowe jr.
is all but a caricature with Rappaport’s
performance hinging on deep inflections
and drawn-out syllables that do no one
any favors
and man that was cool as ice maybe it’s
the actors close association with
fast-talking East Coast characters that
make this one fall so flat or maybe it
just wasn’t his ideal role man my
problem is with you boy
number eight David Tennant GracePoint
hey for our money David Tennant is one
of the finest actors to ever take on the
iconic role of the doctor in BBC’s
long-running series Doctor Who his
performance in crime drama GracePoint
however doesn’t quite cut the mustard I
got a take a call my last day I wanted
wrap up the show is actually a remake of
the British series broadchurch with the
Scottish actor portraying detective
Emmett Carver but his attempt at a
Californian accent just doesn’t convince
it all matters now I need to have the
facts Jo I got I understand Tennant for
his part has defended his creative
choices telling Scotland’s daily record
that he found trying different accents
yes hi Julianne number 7 Yael stone
orange is the new black
some fictional characters for better or
for worse are defined by their accents
Lorna Morello is one such character
embodying – big-time inflections
Massachusetts and New York you need to
talk to red to be fair it must have been
extremely challenging for Australian
born actress Yael stone to try to meld
such distinctive accents into one
performance however the end result while
bold and captivating never consistently
falls into the characters Boston via
Brooklyn backstory she came by the
kitchen area to give red in the Orlov
what sure it may be an essential
character trait but sometimes fake
accents work better when actors turn
down the dial just a little number 6
Jane Leeves
Fraser okay so it may not be fair to
single out Daphne moon is the only
character on Frasier to have an off
accent as there seems to be no real
common dialect for all the actors who
portrayed Moon’s family Oh
caught me with man in the bisque 18
British fans of this cheer spin-off took
great pleasure in pointing out how
different Jane Leeves is London area
accent was from Daphne’s Manchester
roots however despite actress Jane
Leeves his claim that moon’s time in the
US had caused the character’s accent to
shift I’m being much too hard on you I’m
just a little sensitive about my
previous whatever the reason we don’t
think it really hurt Daphne’s charm as
she remained one of Frazier’s most
endearing characters throughout its
decade-plus long run I plan to shut up
with Niles here I’m domed if we are
gonna do it every night of the week
number five most of the Manhattan clan
gargoyles now we’re gonna admit that we
loved watching the animated series
gargoyles back in the 90s but that
doesn’t mean we can’t point out one
glaring inaccuracy no matter who was at
fault I cannot condone fighting between
their people and ours specifically if
the title characters are originally from
Scotland why does only one of them have
the accent will you help me very well
lad I’m with you Hudson voiced by
American actor Ed Asner is the only
member of the manhattan clan that sounds
scottish while the rest of them sound
like their respective voice actors
including actress Marina Sirtis of Star
Trek Fame and Heath David whose other
voiceover roles we should admit have won
him an Emmy still what gives number 4
David Boreanaz Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Oh David Boreanaz bless your heart come
make a scene we know you must have tried
like hell to deliver a proper Irish
accent when the writers of Buffy the
Vampire Slayer showcased your character
angels former evil self Angelus in
flashback sequences you’ve got me and my
women hiding in the luxury of a
mineshaft all because William the bloody
likes the attention
unfortunately the end results don’t do
the Emerald Isle any justice as the
inflection sounds more stereotypical
than natural fact that Boreanaz seems to
have difficulty getting through an
entire scene as Angelus likely made him
grateful he could just speak in his own
native accent for the rest of the show
number three Chris Potter and Tony
Daniels x-men okay we know the gambits
we
Seanna heritage is a huge part of this
comic book characters identity but did
the voice actors in the x-men animated
series from the 90s need to lay it on so
thick BC is easy to shop for no just buy
the books with the most dust on them
Chris Potter and Tony Daniels both
provide Remy LeBeau with a thick cage
and draw searing dangerously close to
self-parody during this cartoons 5
sure it’s probably tough to take
something from the comic book page and
make it one’s own for all the world to
hear but maybe gambit could have used a
bit more subtlety number two James
Doohan Star Trek hands up if you think a
Canadian actor is the best person for
the job of imitating an outrageous
Scottish accent tell you we should have
heard something if you agree then maybe
you were a big fan of actor James Doohan
in his defining role of Enterprise
engineer Montgomery Scotty Scott on the
original Star Trek series I am
responsible for the safety of this ship
now we’re not gonna pretend doings over
the top delivery isn’t one of the most
memorable things about Scotty as a
character but at the same time we have
to admit that it’s just a little broad
unless Scott is lying about his loss of
memory I’m not lying
captain I don’t remember a thing about
the first two murders then again it’s
one of the most imitated accents ever
for Trekkies around the world so what do
we know number one the entire cast
narcos narcos may have proven to be a
relatively successful series on Netflix
but one aspect that didn’t score high
marks was the hodgepodge of accents with
sure some North American viewers might
not have noticed anything wrong but
native Spanish speakers particularly in
Colombia received the whole thing with a
mixture of amusement and frustration Don
the piano game the accents of the cast
never seemed to gel and warner mora
who plays escobar couldn’t manage to
shed his brazilian cadence and
pronunciation deagle economy contento
tennyson poverty drain damn you doing
this for those who could differentiate
this left the show coming across as more
cosplay than historical crime drama do
