Never mind Dick Vav Dyke - Aussie Russell Crowe's accent in Robin Hood wanders all over the shop. A pity, because he did rather well in Master & Commander.

But Brits playing Americans...

I noticed Chris Ecclestone (Cracker, Doctor Who) playing an American in Amelia, though that's a film.

Jamie Bamber (Apollo in the Battlestar Galactica revamp) and James Callis (Balthar) are both Brits, though Bamber's dad is American and Callis didn't alter his accent (except when he briefly put on a Yorkshire accent in one episode - good lad!).

Damian Lewis (Major Winters in Band of Brothers, lead in Life) is a Brit.

Tim Roth (Lie to Me) often employs an American accent, though just as often uses a British one. Can't remember what he uses in that show.

Do we claim Kiefer Sutherland (24)? He was born in London and has a Brit passport...
