However, English is spoken in many different places, not just England. But you can still talk about someone having an English accent -- that would be "English" as opposed to "Welsh" or "Scottish", for example. For example, when Desmond Llewellyn -- a Welshman -- was first cast in the role of Q in the James Bond films, the directors wanted him to use a Welsh accent. Llewellyn, however, disagreed, saying that Q is supposed to be a stereotypical civil servant, and insisted on an English accent. |
Being an avid fan of James Bond myself, its worth getting enlightened about this fact about "first Q" in the James Bond series.
As far as actor's accent is concerned, Mike Myer's British accent is fantastic & of course so is Bridget Jones', however, NO ACTOR has yet managed to hold candle to the broad Home Counties & doubtlessly lovely accent of Hugh Grant.
As far as American accent is concerned, George Clooney's one is quite an attention-grabber.
