Line 138:
* Connor MacLeod from ''[[Highlander]]'' is played by French Christopher Lambert.
** They intentionally gave Lambert a non-Scottish (non-anything, really) accent to show that he's been all over the world, and his accent has evolved into something fairly unrecognizable re: geography.
*** Ditto with Duncan [[Mac Leod]]MacLeod from ''[[Highlander the Series]]''. Adrian Paul used a Scottish accent in the flashbacks of Duncan's early years, but made it more generalized in the more recent flashbacks.
* While Daphne Moon of ''[[Frasier]]'' was played by British Jane Leeves, her brothers Simon and Stephen were played by Australian Anthony LaPaglia and Swazi [[Richard E. Grant]]. While Leeves' 'Mancunian' was a rather generic [[Oop North]] accent, the brothers didn't even sound like they were from anywhere near there.
*** None of the Moon brothers with speaking parts - or her father - were played by Englishmen.
