Line 100:
** Delenn might count too, but that's technically the actress' own Croatian accent.
** The Centauri and Minbari in particular seem to have a selection of accents. Turhan Bey used his native Austrian accent when portraying the Centauri Emperor, lending some credence to the quasi-Eastern European accent affected by Jurasik as Londo. Theodore Bikel used his native Yiddish accent when playing a Minbari, Reiner Schone as Dukhat used his native German accent, and John Vickery affected a pronounced upper class British purr as Neroon.
*** There's also the Centauri maid from the framing scenes of "In the Beginning," who has a French accent. She's a major character in the [[Expanded Universe|Centauri Prime trilogy]], where her accent is described as "Northern."<ref>Evidence that, as [[Doctor Who|The Doctor]] once claimed, lots of planets have a North.</ref>
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'':
** In "Nightmare of Eden", the character Tryst has an utterly incredible accent, which the actor developed deliberately on the grounds that people on other planets in the future won't have the same accents as people on Earth in the present. It might have worked better if he hadn't been the only person in the story doing it. (And Tom Baker didn't keep visibly cracking up whenever Tryst spoke.)
