Other than Brendan Gleeson, I'll go with the entire Yankee/Euro cast of Cold Mountain. Worse, even Texan Renée Zellweger had the silliest southern accent I've ever heard.

Tom Hanks in anything.

I'm pretty sure there was a couple of bad ones in Band of Brothers.

Try & tell myself it's for comedic purpose since I dig Life Aquatic, but it's more likely that Owen Wilson is just terrible.

Also half of JFK's cast.

Honestly, I can't watch House of Cards because of Kevin Spacey's pretend accent. Just can't get past it.

Every single actor in All The King's Men with Sean Penn, especially Sean Penn.

Kevin Costner in JFK.

Also, Cold Mountain is one of the worst movies I have ever seen (opening battle scene was pretty cool though).

Spacey in HoC. I think it was Vox who studied his accent and his choice of words with expert linguists and determined no one has talked like that since WWII.

Not a southern accent, but so bad that it deserves an Honorable Mention.
