The 10th Doctor talks Amerrickun

Thursday, May 5, 2011



In this clip from the unaired NBC pilot Rex is Not Your Lawyer, David Tennant (AKA inarguably the best Doctor Who Doctor of the revived series) puts on his best American accent... Which frankly isn't too great. Although I've gotten so used to his fake English accent as the Doctor that whenever I hear him speak with his actual Scottish accent, that sounds fake too.

Where do European actors get that goofy "American" accent from, anyhow? It's like they think we all talk like John Wayne or something. Hullo! I yam an Amerrickun!

When the Hitchhikers' Guide movie came out, I thought Sam Rockwell would be perfect for the role of Zaphod. In the end though, I reckon Mark Wing-Davey's fake American accent had a great deal more energy to it than Sam Rockwell's real one. (Not that I'm dissing Sam Rockwell. I blame the director.)
