I haven’t kept up with his career lately, but his turn at the end of Kiss the Girls maybe made him too believable as a bad guy.

I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I have never seen any of the Saw movies.

Cary Elwes is excellent. Has some damn good movies on his resume:

The Princess Bride, Glory, Days of Thunder, Hot Shots!, Dracula, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Twister, Kiss the Girls, The Chase, Liar Liar, Saw.

He's going to be in the next Mission: Impossible movie too.

Dick Van Dyke's horrendous Cockney attempt in Mary Poppins is widely regarded as the worst of all time

Watched it a lot as a kid and even then I knew it was cartoonish.

If you close your eyes and remember him saying "Unreal-iiiized idea... UNREAL-IIIIIZED" --- you can very easily imagine Coach Reilly being his accept coach:

I would say Kevin Costner in Prince of Thieves, but apparently he was so bad at it, that he just stuck with his American accent.


kevin costner in JFK is even worse especially considering Garrison is from Iowa.

So he does a New Orleans accent that doesn’t exist for a real life person that didn’t even have a Yat accent

Costner should have been very familiar with an Iowa accent.
