Andrew Lincoln on his American accent | Comic Con 2012 Walking Dead Panel

[@timwilbur4387]

Andrew Lincoln walking into the coffee shop like..."I'd like some stuff...and thangs..." XD

[@requix11]

I'd Like a CORAL shake and some thangs.

[@Gulegardiners]

HAH

[@kellyalves756]

Kin ye git me one o’ them coldrinks? And maybe a Moon Pie? Thanks, darlin’.

[@YEAR-1-RELICS]

Not today. Maybe not tomorrow...but I will kill this extra large Starbucks coffee.

[@mcwalton6721]

Being a Georgia native, I think Andrew completely nails it without being "over the top". Excellent actor!

[@snow_blind_08]

Everyone's accent is pretty good, except many Darrel's SOFEEEAAA!!

[@daryldixon3719]

Nathan Farley its Daryl

[@vvthetalentlessduo6976]

O

[@Wrinklyanimegod]

Maggie and Rick are British?! This is blowing my goddamn mind. Hahaha

[@Bobbzefish]

So is Morgan's actor, Lennie James ;)

[@jordynwashington1056]

D4NIELLA Yeah, the actor playing Morgan (Lennie James) is British as well.

[@jackofspades9742]

Also the governor!

[@tjlocust]

He went to my school ;)

[@dgxldegamersxl6404]

I Knew rick was british but i didnt know maggie was

[@snappiepappie9899]

What is your name, Rick Grimes?? Uh, I'm, I'm Coral My name is Coral

[@benjoandrichie]

STOP IT RICK. MY MIND HAS ALREADY DEEMED YOU AS THE EPITOME OF A SOUTHERN MAN.

[@xxusa_gamerxx4455]

I know right

[@محمدحسين-ك6س7ه]

Carl was dead

[@ittybittyrampagingcommittee]

I love how his southern accent is so harsh and brash and then in real life his accent is so soft and gentle it's really cool.

[@spentlizard353]

I don't care if it's a British or a Southern accent, Lauren Cohan is hot.

[@willvanwijngaarden6614]

Faxxxxx bro shes mad fine

[@turkialhamidi9243]

Andrew as well

[@PooterMommy]

I wish Andrew Lincoln would have answered in his Rick Grimes voice. I was waiting for it.

[@theprimadancer101]

YOU DON'T GET WANT YOU WANT! BEETCHSH! THIS ABOUT CARL!

[@InkedTraumaQueen]

theprimadancer101 What the actual fuck is wrong with your grammar?

[@theprimadancer101]

simplyaninsomniac It that what you say in bed? Not very sexy...

[@dea.d9432]

I LOVE BOTH OF HIS ACCENTS

[@CrossAunt]

theprimadancer101 Who's Carl, oh, you mean Coral.

[@bryanasare1632]

that voice coming out of his face is so weird

[@syd7450]

tell me about it! when i think of andrew i think of how he talks on the walking dead not his British voice.

[@shelbyhanna978]

I know he is a lot more sexy with the accent by the way I'm a girl so I'm not gay

[@Rasheedgames]

M1n3r 4 11f3 Nobody cares if you're gay or not...

[@greenbean2904]

Rasheedgames yep.....when someone comments something like that everyone else ends up saying GAYYYYYY

[@Rasheedgames]

First-name Last-name I'm just thinking that if they think he's sexy it doesn't matter if they're gay or not. He's still attractive either way.

[@sickeningnoandrealfierceto]

Laura gives a perfect coherent answer then Andrew talks about a coffee shop

[@radaradaitsbob]

Damn, British people know their accents! Before this, I was convinced that the Governor, Rick, and Maggie were definitely American. This just goes to show how wonderful of an actor/actress these cast members are! I can't remember the last time I've been sucked into a show like this. It's amazing.

[@dbsmaeva_]

I HAD NO IDEA Andrew was British until I recently watched Love Actually. But I knew about Lauren Cohan since she had a strong Brit accent in The Vampire Diaries.

[@violetm_]

She was also in Supernatural. :)

[@yutaat0.57inkickitmv]

the way andrew touches his face reminds me of dylan o'brien

[@hyperreaI]

wow, it does.

[@dbsmaeva_]

Omg I hadn't noticed until I saw your comment but it really does !

[@IzzyGenn]

taeterthot And there both hot

[@SamDustin0077]

poor david morrissey hes also british and he got left out of the conversation

[@jackwilson3303]

He's scottish actually.

[@SamDustin0077]

Rhys The Company Man hes an english actor that was born in liverpool and liverpool is in england. scotland is far up the uk

[@lauradear123]

Abradolf Lincler he's Liverpudlian (from Liverpool, England)

[@little7redify]

Maybe cuz his accent was not Southern I think..

[@graciemoomol2634]

I WANTED HIM TO DIE SO BADLY

[@deadseason2]

He definitely does a good job! I was shocked to find out he was British.

[@dopeman1984]

I think Andrew Lincoln would be good as the new Wolverine with how he had his berserk rage outbursts in TWD plus with the beard as well

[@DeadFinally666]

very true! I'm from Mississippi, no way to be more Southern & with a very high Southern drawl accent. Yee-Haw! haha. Rick Grimes/Lincoln southern accent is far more convincing than Maggie's character. But, they do a Great job! btw: I find it so dang funny that Andrew Lincoln's real last name is: 'Clutterbuck.' It means: SHIT-SHOVELER. Truth! lmao

[@xmarisalynnx]

Literally had the HARDEST time sitting here trying to think of where I have seen Lauren Cohen before, and now it hit me that it's supernatural. i guess i only just now realized it hearing her with her accent.

[@OldSchoolArchery]

WHAT?! I DIDN'T KNOW THIS?!! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS??!!

[@sarahfrakes2946]

I only knew she was British from Supernatural...anybody?

[@kitanaaaat]

yupppppp!

[@LeanneGC101]

Sarah Frakes who?

[@sarahfrakes2946]

LeanneGC101 Lauren Cohan

[@Sophie-bj5xv]

[@vivien_8512]

Sarah Frakes my friend Laura loves that show, but I have never watched it.

[@tihy9s168]

Been looking for this forever. Thank you!

[@lovecanis7701]

2:39 The cast members turn to look at Andy talking about a coffee shop t-shirt lmao 😂

[@FearlessChik09]

Im from Alabama and I think its really great how on this show they don't overdo the drawl and twang in the southern accent the wat that most movies and tv shows usually do. Very good job guys :D

[@DeFactoLeader]

I'll say this much, Lauren Cohan has an odd regular speaking accent. I think she's been living away from the UK for so long that she's actually started to naturalise, whereas Andrew sounds a lot more within his roots.

[@julianfehler1533]

shes scottisch but grew up in the states

[@jamesduffy7549]

Yeah im a Brit and wouldn't know she was too except for some words

[@dora1980]

@@jamesduffy7549 Please! She sounds completely British, even in the show. In her interviews she's 200% British although her father is American and she was born and raised in the U.S.

[@jamesduffy7549]

@@dora1980 nah, she's noticeably got a foreign accent

[@dora1980]

@@jamesduffy7549 When you say foreign you mean American? To me she doesn't sound American at all.I watched her interview from the San Diego comic con this weekend and she sounded more British than ever.And sometimes this british accent is very intense.

[@MrRjransom]

David Morrissey has an English accent too lol they left him out

[@Akira-jk1lq]

MAGGIE'S BRITISH? WTF

[@Crunkboy415]

She was born in New Jersey, moved to England at 13, so it probably came easier to her.

[@avengernaruto1854]

IKR WTF

[@claudioberdych526]

lauren cohan is GORGEOUS AS FUCK... damn it i'm in love

[@RangerHouston]

I've noticed the first few seasons 1-2 Andrew's natural accent sometimes slips up when he's emotional. Haven't seen it slip up at all in the seasons 3-current

[@meggriffon5124]

Okay I knew about Andy but I never knew about Lauran!!! I didnt realize she was British either XXDD

[@darkcountry3670]

Her mother is British but her Father is American so she has a comibination of the two.

[@BrownNyellow]

Him and Jon Bernthal have the greatest Southern accents, both of them normally sound sooo much different

[@maureendullas2603]

First saw Rick at Love Actually and that's how I knew he was Brit. But Lauren, the way her accent shifted from Southern to her natural accent was amazing. They're both amazing.

Rick?.......Lauren ?......😱....my whole life is a lie !😀

[@jcraw4djr]

Andrew Lincoln said he loves working in America. That's awesome!!!

[@Rikitocker]

Always cracks me up, people who gush over the good looks of TV stars when the reality is that if they were not on TV and you passed them on the street as regular people, you wouldn't think them anything special at all ... that's people for ya!

[@brooklynnhood]

I realize your comment was a year ago. I'd say that's true about most but Andrew Lincoln is gorgeous. Great hair and eyes. Just my type in real life.

[@Helldorado72]

According to her bio she's actually from Cherry Hill, NJ... She moved to england when she was a young child....

[@dora1980]

Teenager ,not a child .

[@TheUnknown285]

I'm an American that lives in Georgia, the state where The Walking Dead is filmed and takes place (I've actually been to the place that doubled as the CDC in the show). I had no idea Andrew Lincoln (or, for that matter,Laura Cohan) were British. I originally thought Lincoln was an American from outside the South trying to do a Southern accent and doing well generally although it's a little inconsistent).

[@bubhi7127]

Andrews accent sounds so much like Liam's...

[@valentine2411]

Omg

[@BeyondItAll999]

I already knew the Governor was British--recognized Morrissey in "The Next Doctor" in "Doctor Who" [ruled in that show, too; practically fangirled when I saw him in this one]--but Cohan I had no idea about. All three of these actors and actress are extremely talented, though, and have been/are definitely fit for the roles they have today.

[@Jengochase]

I was watching TV and he was interviewed, and I hadn't known he was British, so when he started talking, I freaked out. It is very good (and I'm from and living in the South right now.

[@chantelwilliams6685]

"They wanted me to wear a t-shi....... Why am I talking bout this?" Lmao Andrew:*

[@alliylynn5588]

Can I just like snuggle with Andrews voice.. Like holy shit. He has like a warm, sleepy, sexy, strong, British accent. Fuck .-.

[@oxy6689]

To all the people who didn’t know RICK MAGGIE AND MORGAN ARE ALL BRITISH!

[@germanshepherd121]

Andrew is so classically handsome and sexy. I mean, WOW.

[@NovaKaneX]

WTF, Maggie is a Brit too? Them American accents are sick. I didn't even know Lincoln was English until I saw some behind the scenes clip. I was like oh shit lol.

[@elliottrounds4062]

"You need to go sit in a crackle barrel for a few hours".

[@breeship]

Andrew is such an amazing actor, I had absolutely no idea he was British, I thought he was from the south. I admire him as an actor, as for Lauren, I knew.

[@inkey2]

yeah, thats amazing that Andrew Lincoln is a Brit......he did such a perfect job on the American accent. I was shocked to find out he wasn't an American. He is a damn good actor

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

I always thought Laura was British honestly because she just looks British.. (I know stupid reason) but when I looked her up on IMDB it says she is from Pennsylvania?!

[@Nicole3900]

The girl was born in the USA (Pennsylvania) but moved to the UK in her teen years.

[@bloodfortime]

Same here...unlike other actors, he doesn't over-do it. He sounds completely natural.

[@ambskater97]

I hear that. Which is why the only fast food I eat are the fries (chips). Real restaurants are where it's at. I live in New York City, so it's easy to find great places to eat out.

[@ScottSkynetT800]

Anyone of you guys wanna see any of Andrew Lincoln in his early days watch the British tv series Teachers. He was so funny in that

[@carowells1607]

I read somewhere that Lauren Cohan was American and didn't move to the UK until she was a teenager, but since she didn't mention being familiar with the way Americans talk, now I'm wondering if that's true or not.

[@brandon538]

Maggie or Lauren was also in Vampire Diaries and she uses her english accent in the series with her character just fyi. haha.

[@TheUnknown285]

Yeah, a pretty good job, although slightly inconsistent on the Southern part. For the record, most of us, myself included, don't have anything close to the stereotypical drawl that you here in Rick, Shane, and Maggie's accents. In fact, most of us sound more like Chandler Riggs (Carl), who is actually from Atlanta. The CDC on The Walking Dead is the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, a concert hall just outside of Atlanta.

[@cherryclan1]

Maggie has such an extreme drawl...not sure where her accent is supposed to represent, but it's nothing like Rick's

[@LJGrindewald]

Unless you're british and seen Love Actually and british dramas Andrew Lincoln has been in, you'll have known him to be british.

[@TheStyleChic1]

When I first found out that Andrew Lincoln was from the UK, I was surprised because he had that American accent in the show.

[@yaoming42]

i had no clue he was british wow now i can imagine how hard it is for him to make the show

[@batguyver91]

She was actually born in the US but as a teen she moved to Great Britain

[@rosa3768]

ik lauren is British cuz i loved her character on supernatural, but Andrew was a shock lol.

[@justinalvarez2272]

Andrews American accent is good but the deep grimy voice he does on the show sometimes comes off weird and sounds like he's trying way too hard to sound serious and tense. but he's a great actor

[@tuanluong-fc5up]

i can say that COMIC-CON looks as huge as an ACADEMY AWARD event !!

[@dangavin113]

I am in absolute shock right now! I've watched TWD from the start and I never knew Lauren Cohan was half British and lived in England as a kid! 😲

[@dora1980]

As a teenager not as a kid.

[@inkey2]

yeah, the Governor too, . Since I found out they are Brits I have been listening to their dialog very closely now....and still can't find any hint of their Brit accent. Absolutely perfect. I wonder if doing that accent for so long if they ever slip back into character when at home, it would probably drive their families crazy

[@PalmBalms]

just think how hard it would be for a country/southern man(me) to talk with a english accent full time , I tried it its very hard plus acting out a whole long scene would take a lot of work

[@ShakeZulaTheMicRula]

David Morrissey (The Governor) is also from England, and I think his accent is absolutely perfect.

[@DelightfulTyrant]

Damn near perfect. I think I have heard 1 "a" out of him that sounded a bit 'rounder' than would be expected for that region.

[@anthonyleahy2057]

I think its because we realize the difference between the different american accents they are and can pick up on them, where as Americans think we all sound like harry potter etc.

[@CrAzYpOtHeAd420time]

According to wiki she was born in Philadelphia. Then during her teens she moved to her mothers native country, which is in the UK. According to wiki her mother is Scottish and Laura split her time and work between London and LA. So basically I don't know :P

[@GreenTea4101]

i had no idea she was british too?!?!?!?! crazzzyyy ...and that one black guy on the last episode.....( from season 3 and beggining of season one) is too..

[@jabeztomer]

yo. I knew right away that laura Cohan was brit, not because of her accent, but because of the shape of her mouth and the way she moved her mouth. as far as the other two go, (the governor and Rick) I knew they were faking an accent, only because the other americans in the show didn't have same type of accent. but when I found out they were brits i was shocked as hell.

[@akateb71489]

I would have never known! I'm not far enough in the series to know who she is, but his accent on the show is so convincing! I would have never known!

[@davidthechupacabra6191]

same here i was bugging out about lincoln but for maggie i wasn't cause she was using her native accent on Supernatural.

[@pepsiandsnapple]

i legit thought rick grimes actor was prob some southern american actor. then i saw his interview on david letterman, and his english accent was so fucking awesome

[@evan.mcleod]

She's actually technically American, as she was born in Philadelphia. She moved to the United Kingdom in her teens, although she still has a British accent. :)

[@EssentialEvil98]

You heard her herself she trained for hours every week to get the accent, she didn't magically have the accent anybody can do any accent they just have to learn it.

[@soccer1970-f5f]

P.s if you like David Morrisey, get the film Stoned, about the life of Brian Jones of the Rolling stones. Not sure how it did in the U.S but its a quality film as is David.M's performance.

[@CaelMontague]

S'only because we're used to hearing that gorgeous southern drawl lol

[@Tellyouwhat777]

I'm American, and initially I had no idea he was from the UK. So its pretty authentic.

[@tony62896]

Lauren Cohan "Maggie" is American...She moved to the UK at age 11.

[@InfamousMedia]

the host acts like such a herb on the talking dead but here he's pretty chill

[@Hade820]

Yeah, it is pretty good. I'm from the American Deep South, so it sounds legit. Of course, there's actually a variety of Southern dialects that differ from region to region, state to state, and among social classes. An upper class "genteel" type usually has a slower, smoother and more sophisticated drawl, for example. I wouldn't doubt that it is easy for him to do a good Southern American accent because the dialect holds strong ties with British dialects, particularly Scottish.

[@CorrectionUnknown]

I actually never knew Laura Cohen was British! She does her American accent very very well! I've noticed some slips in Rick's but it's more than less perfect!

[@Blitzfire87]

I honestly thought that Andrew was American until I looked up his biography

[@davidappelbaum5482]

I LOVE that he gave a shout out to Aurora!!

[@ajunlimited]

If i met andrew lincoln, i would ask him to talk in his american accent so it would feel like i'm actually talking to rick grimes.

[@mandyhiggins4869]

Welcome to KZbin.

[@paradoxb3]

I'm from Georgia and have heard some really horrible southern accents on TV and movies, but I was shocked the first time I heard him speak with a British accent on The Talking Dead. I had no idea he wasn't a local.

[@dora1980]

Were you also shocked that Vivien Leigh who played a Georgia girl was also British? Could you imagine any American actress in this role? Because I don't.

[@BushcraftBritannia]

What do you mean by "look like they were cut from a pigeon" ? Also did you know that pigeon is a common meal in Britain?

[@peterlane8193]

but he is on the end of the tables and he must have known he was but i see why he might not have thank you

ha...I didn't know she was British too.

[@the13thessence]

Holy balls I just discovered that Lennie James (who plays Morgan) is also English!

[@lukelee7458]

I'm not American but it is pretty good. Season 1 his accent was pretty off. He has improved a lot on his accent and hes a great actor overall!

[@DashofDosh]

My mind is BLOWN. I truly thought that the actress that played Maggie was an authentic Southerner!

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

Yeah, saw her on "Supernatural" a few seasons back using her real accent so I'm used to that. :)
