lol, you missed the point of this video 😂 it’s only in the….. title 😂😂

Those are well-known to be British.

Andrew Lincoln was great in the role of Dr Robert Bridge in the British TV series Afterlife (2005-2006). The female star was Lesley Sharp. Her character is a psychic. His character is a Psychologist. It was excellent, but obviously could be very dark. She was also excellent in Scott and Bailey as Detective Constable Janet Scott, a Detective Constable within Syndicate 9 of the Major Incident Team (MIT) of the fictional Manchester Metropolitan Police.

[@anniebroadbent7961]

That was a great and underrated series 😊

[@lindacooke2523]

Bit shocked he says that Andrew Lincoln is not a very good actor.Hes is amazing.Incredible in The Walking Dead.😮

[@gerardflynn7382]

As long as they don't try to pull off an Irish accent we are ok. Absolutely no American actor has ever been able to pull off a credible Irish accent.

[@Clodhopping]

Hahahaha. The Hollywood "ah bejaysuss, begorrah top o' the mornin'..." nonsense.

[@dlilwon]

Only Brad Pitt did in my opinion 😅

[@KarenMariaMcCormack]

Aidan Quinn can do a very credible Irish accent but he spent a lot of time in Ireland growing up, so he doesn't have to listen to the guff from Hollywood accent coaches who've never listened to Irish people speaking

[@youinthebluehoodie]

That's the trick to it, there are so many different accents across Iireland NI and UK ​thers no generic Irish accent. Brad Pitt was very specific. US is the same and I presume this applies in drllifferent languages as well.

Funny thing is, when they needed someone with a thick London accent for The Boys, they picked New Zealander Karl Urban. And you know what, as a Brit I bloody love him in the role.

If you are shocked about that, think about how many famous Canadian actors are thought to be American. There are a lot of them out there and they blend right in because their accent is already similar to the American accent.

[@elainecampbell8227]

Now go watch `10 Americans who tricked the UK with their fake accents' - well, make that 1 or 2 if you're struggling.

[@garypasquill2355]

​@@markflint2629Phillip Winchester from strike back, I only found out he was,American in the behind the scenes documentary

[@beesmith360]

I do kinda love this. As others have said already not be able to recognise someone because they've got makeup on, longer hair and are in different role shows you must sidetracked by certain aspects of people and don't really look at them properly. - Hence not recognising your 'teenage crush' in the hundreds of brilliant things she's done over the years with several different accents. My least favourite, as an old fan of Hugh Laurie - who is sooo English - is that I can hear a lot of Hugh in his voice, which adds to the accent and character but makes it slightly hard to believe for some English (well me 😅)

[@paulharvey9149]

Think about it Ryan: British actors have to learn other British regional accents, so to them, America is just another region, or perhaps several regions... In the same way, some of them might do Australian, Canadian, Continental European, New Zealander or even Afrikaan accents! If you look back to footage of the Commonwealth Tour of Elizabeth II in 1954, she even encountered Pidgin English, which some might have picked up - and which the British Press at the time were more than a little taken aback that,in some pf her foreign territories, she was addressed as "Missus Kwinn!" To the native British speaker, accents are probably much easier to master than one from ma part of the world where everyone speaks in exactly the same one as they do.

[@Rocket1377]

America has lots of regional accents, too. New York, Boston, Georgia, etc... all sound very different. I don't think that is a good example for why British actors can master different dialects.

[@LilacMorelli]

@@Rocket1377Georgia? As in a whole state? That’s not regional

[@anndeecosita3586]

@@Rocket1377I think they tend to excel in that general Hollywood sounding accent but in the regional American ones not so much. Even a lot of American actors struggle with regional US accents.

[@karengarrow5579]

If you really want a shock the actress who played Beth Dutton in Yellowstone is British as well I was very surprised because I thought she was American

[@MetalGuitarTimo]

why would you think that is not her????? lol

[@stephaniefuller8139]

You didn't think Andrew Lincoln was a very good actor but you couldn't tell his accent wasn't real? That sounds like a good actor to me!

[@nolaj114]

I wonder if Ryan Wuzer/Was/Wass knew who Cary Grant was. He didn't say anything about him. His brother, reactor Tyler Rumple/Bucket/Walker, who said he was into movies, has never heard of him. I found that really gobsmacking..😮

[@GuinevereKnight]

Yes, that was painful to watch. Ryan doesn't boast his ignorance as much. He seems to get that others probably know a lot that he doesn't, and that it's not something to shout from.the roof tops. A more humble, mellow style. But how can any American have missed every Cary Grant movie ever made? Being Nordic I grew up with them on TV. Thought they did too. It's classic.

[@totallybored5526]

Being from Hull it’s very weird that Andrew Lincoln spent some of his youth growing up in Hull. It’s almost as weird as Malcolm McDowell doing the same in Bridlington (a seaside town near Hull)

[@susiejl.2525]

I am now waiting for Ryan to look at the cast of Game of Thrones and/or Rings of Power ...
