Australian, but yeah. Accents are sometimes tough, but I can do a few of the British varients and Australia, so why shouldn’t some of them be able to do Southern?
My son was born in Texas and raised in Texas. Went to England after he finished Rice University and has been there over 25 years. Sounds definitely British.
Being Southern born and raised myself, it's always been a pet peeve of mine that Southern accents are routinely mangled in TV and the movies....they just rarely sound authentic. But this isn't the first time I've seen a British actor pull it off well. (The actress who plays Maggie is also a Brit, BTW).
Tonight's ep was killer. I thought Lori had lost her lips to Herschel....I screamed so loud my husband jumped. And thank you, Rick, for not hesitating to take out Rico Suave.
