Yeah he's always had a very distinct accent. It's strong enough that even as a little kid you can tell his him just by how he talks.

As for bad accents, Mark Wahlberg in Renaissance Man is rough but at least he actually tried to do something other than his normal voice for once.

How about his name? Jonathan Devoreaux. Lol. Another thing that irks me is many scenes depict Mardi Gras and second lines, like it's an everyday occurrence.

Oh you mean powerful people don’t hold dinner parties in full Carnival Formal Wear and discuss things being worse since the “War of Northern Aggression?”

And I’m a little disappointed that this thread is four pages and no one mentioned this

I watched the first two episodes and could never watch another because the accents were so bad.

Charlize Theron in The Legend of Bagger Vance. She sounds like she's spoofing Scarlett O'Hara.


She sounded like Micahel Scott.

Anyone who attempts a New Orleans accent in any TV or Movie. Of course they never try the actual New Orleans accent, but what they think is a southern accent.
