[DotCommunist]

Who's is the crappiest, Donald Sutherland as Liam Devlin in The Eagle has Landed, or the 'actors' in those few irish themed episodes of Heroes?

Poll-maybe later.

Haven't seen any episodes of heroes, but always thought that Mick Jagger pulled of a pretty bad irish accent in 'ned kelly'.

Top 10 Worst Irish Accents

but what's YOUR opinion?

 

[Santino]

That woman out of Burn Notice who used to be in Press Gang.

 

[DotCommunist]

Sutherelands galls me the most cos it's a bum note in a near flawless boys own adventure war film

 

[Griff]

but what's YOUR opinion?

I'd agree with you about Coburn, shocking.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Didn't Tom Cruise play an Irishman (that film with Nicole Kidman)?

ah, it's on that Top 10 list up there

7. TOM CRUISE IN "FAR AND AWAY"
To be perfectly fair to the much pilloried Tom Cruise, his Irish accent in "Far and Away" is truly appalling.

yeah it's in Griffs link of the top 10 worst. I've not seen the film. Tom Cruise is a dick.

 

[Bakunin]

I'd agree with you about Coburn, shocking.

Does anyone remember his 'Australian' accent in 'The Great Escape'?

Dreadful.

Although his portrayal of the war-weary Sergeant Steiner in 'Cross Of Iron' pretty much makes me forgive him anything to be honest.

And I defy anyone to say otherwise.

Brad Pitt in that terrorist thing with Harrison Ford. Dreadful.

Grapes and assorted hanging fruit were very fashionable in the '60s.

The Devil's Own



Any tv episode where you have a load of Chicago/New York cops or firefighters at a Irish bar

 

[elevendayempire]

David Boreanaz in Angel was pretty bad. Oh, and the Oirish gangsters in Sin City - even though I looked some of the actors up and they were actually from Ireland. WTF?

The other four girls in the picture must have been kept out of the loop

 

[The Octagon]

Tom Cruise in Far & Away

David Boreanaz in 'Angel'

Colin Farrell (that's surely not a genuine accent?)

 

[Paul Russell]

Sadie Frost in Shopping (the film).

Yeah, but probably not born there or moved to the States when they were young and now speak it with an embarrassing plastic-paddy accent

I'm sure they're showing repeats of BallyK on one of the digital channels. Watch it and judge for yourself

 

[Biglittlefish]

Anyone see that sitcom Gabrial Byrne had for about 5 minutes? Every fucking actor around had laugh out load shit accents. He must have taught 'I can never go home after this'.

 

[The Octagon]

I'm sure they're showing repeats of BallyK on one of the digital channels. Watch it and judge for yourself

*adopts whiny teenage voice*

Aw, do I have to?

I managed to avoid it the first time around (for the most part).

I think it was always a little thicker than it needed to be for the area hes from.

This is definitely the worst I've heard.

 

[fubert]

Brad Pitt in that terrorist thing with Harrison Ford. Dreadful.

Agreed.

But his pikey accent in that Guy Richie samey same film he was was good.

 

[subversplat]

Some of those Irish Bostonians in The Dwepawded are cringingly fantastic

Theyis goys wot yoy ca'an hit and goys wot you ca'ayn't

The Devil's Own

That's the one.

I can't really remember Far and Away, but I'm willing to bet Cruise was shitter.

Most definitely
