Watching Con-air and I can't get over Nicholas Cage's accent.

Saying someone like Walton Goggins doesnt count because hes from rural Alabama

Fred Thompson, an actual southerner, didn't have a good southern accent IYAM.

Many actors who grew up in the south can revert back to their natural accent. Annie Potts, Mary Steenburgen, Matthew McConaughey, Resese Witherspoon.

They always end up going full Foghorn Leghorn with it

When it’s bad it is really really bad

For a California born girl I thought Joanne Linville did a decent job in the Twilight Zone episode The Passersby

Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias (even though she "claims" Smyrna, GA)

The worst is Amy Brenneman in Heat. Just awful

Ewan McGregor in Big Fish did a solid job with an Alabama accent.

Kevin Spacey in House of Cards pisses me off, because he's doing a lowcountry accent, despite his character being from the Appalachian-lite of Gaffney. Doesn't fit.
