My vote goes to Damien Lewis. The first time I heard him talk in his regular voice it blew my fricking mind. I just always assumed he sounded like Dick Winters from Band of Brothers

Interview using his regular voice (he’s Scottish)

Beats the hell out of Keanu Reeves British accent in "Dracula".

That was truly horrid.

Daniel Craig in Knives Out was so bad that it was distracting from an otherwise fantastic movie.

Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) from the Walking Dead did a pretty good job IMO. Terrible actor but as a British man he actually pulled off a good southern accent

I'll add Colin Farrell in Minority Report.

Had no clue he had such thick Irish accent when I heard him later on.

Matthew Rhys. Without a doubt. Dude is Welsh and played a Russian spy speaking perfect American English in the Americans.

Matthew Rhys puts Damian Lewis to shame.

I didn’t find out until last night that Ben Mendelsohn was Australian. His American Accent is pretty good.
