It's immediately what I thought about. It's akin to hearing UK actors speak, after watching their portrayals of Americans.

I had no idea watching Band of Brothers that Damian Lewis was British.

Think of how many different accents you can associate with Gary Oldman and how many you can go through before potentially getting to his real one.

the expanse soundtracks have had an odd history. lots of delays, thrown out on iTunes silently, etc. they never seem like they're coming out until they suddenly are.

In addition to Hugh Laurie who was mentioned earlier, there’s also Jamie Bamber in Galactica, Idris Elba and Dominic West in The Wire all around the same time. I’m fairly sure that something changed around the turn of the millennium that helped actors much more rapidly pick up new (same language) accents. Internet, YouTube, new teaching method, something. Before then it was vanishingly rare; now I’d say it’s not really surprising to find that someone with a believable [place] accent is from [another place].

Best part is the one where Dominic West’s character has to do a fake British accent.

Then again, you still have performances like Olisabeth Olson in Age Of Ultron, or Karl Urban in The Boys, or, like, a hundred other actors in things.

My mum is a speech pathologist, 99% of the time for kids under 10yo, but every now and then will do intensive coaching for actors developing accents. It's very interesting stuff, she has worked with a few fairly well known names. Much of it comes down to mouth and tongue movements/positioning to really nail the elocution.

A few are just insanely gifted but for most it's the result of months and months of specialised work with a professional to do it well.

I wonder if it's even possible to do an interesting MMO at this point or people would just get mad that there's no grinding and quit immediately.
