Let’s take stock of the TV season so far:
Anna Friel on Pushing Daisies: English; fake American accent.
Michelle Ryan on Bionic Woman: English; fake American accent.
Yvonne Strahovski on Chuck: Australian; fake American accent.
Sophia Myles on Moonlight: English; fake American accent.
At this rate, they’re going to have to start giving out an Emmy award for best fake accent in a leading role.
(And just for good measure: David Anders on Heroes: American, fake English accent.)
I've also got to give it to, Jamie Griffith Lee "Apollo" Adama on Battlestar Galactica...actually british/french, fake american accent). I had no idea until a 'making of' type clip on Razor last week.
