Who is your favorite non-american actor who takes American roles in movies/TV?

Question

Russell Crowe comes to mind. I discount Mel Gibson because he is a bigot, and he only acts in dumb movies anyway. Any other actors from England, Australia, New Zealand you think are convincing as Americans? Male or Female.

Answer 1

the guy who plays house.  can't remember his name, hugh

Answer 2

I think Arnold Shwartzeneggerereerrer (sp)? because he is so obviously not American, it's funny. I think he's the only foreigner in America who's lived here for 30 years and his accent has gotten stronger.

Answer 3

hugh grant sean connery  catherine zeta jones

Answer 4

Actually, Mel Gibson is a US citizen, born in Peekskill, NY and raised in Oz.

However, consider the following

Minnie Driver

Eddie Izzard

Liam Neison

Colin Farrel

Hugh Laurie

Answer 5

idk if he counts but i guess..

Hugh Laurie

Answer 6

Anna Friel

I didn't rate her as an actress until I saw her in  Pushing Daisies, but she really is fantastic in that.

Kevin McKidd was good in Journeyman, sadly the series didn't last that long.

Answer 7

Hugh Laurie

He is awesome. I would have never know he had an accent and his role in House is so convincing.
