Question Accent Description ???

Just as small, slim, fat, thin, petite, pear-shaped or bosomy (in "certain" cases ;) are some of the words we use to describe the way people LOOK PHYSICALLY.

What could be the widely used words that describes someone's accent ???

Following are few celebs whose accent tickles my fancy (along with the way I describe their particular accent):

>> Hugh Grant (plummy accent)
>> Pierce Brosnan (NOT his "James Bond" accent but his "real life" accent, as rather "peculiar but pleasant")
>> Richard Brandson (???)
>> Simon Cowell (deep accent)
>> Austin Powers (strong accent)
>> George Clooney (???)

How would people around here describe the accents in general & bearing in mind these celebs or any other celebs they've in mind ???
