Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister is very convincing, except he can’t seem to say ‘comfortable’ in British

Let the record show that Bridget Jones is randomly probably the best onscreen ‘American doing English accent’ of all time

For English actors playing Americans, it’s the word “anything” it always sounds like ennythen

English actors doing an American accent usually get the pronunciation just right, but they always sound a little hesitant, like they're concentrating on it.

It’s a film or a tv show not a movie or a tv show

Brits do good American accents but they often throw in British word choices which gives it away (if you’re familiar with British vocabulary)

Also they tend to add in things we don't really say that much. Like Karl Urban in the boys saying "guv" constantly just so you remember he's English

Whenever English people play Americans they can never say the word “anything”. It’s hilarious.

This makes sense. It kind of proves the English influence in the south. Thts exactly how we pronounce it in the midsouth(Mississippi area). But with an American accent of course.

Are we just going to ignore the fact you turned into Matt Berry for a moment there?

The other way around is “anything” or “everything” for British playing American

I always think of 'farther' rather than 'further'

Now that you mention it, I can’t think of an English actor/actress that has ever gotten the American accent correct either. Hmmm.

it's closer to the German/dutch pronunciation 'dochter'
