    I just saw it for the first time a few day ago. I thought his accent was pretty convincing, but then I'm not American... Just wondered if people were aware that he is actually English, I bet loads of folk think he is American. Or maybe not, I dunno...

    I can't watch House because I loved Hugh Laurie so much in Jeeves and Wooster. I don't wanna break that lovely image inside my head..

    Well the Russian 1/4 would be " a riddle , wrapped inside a mystery , inside an enigma" , as Churchill famously said.
    The rest of it , I'd be fucked if I understand...: )

    Surprised u didnt see the subtle defence of our domicile from the haters?
    ( that was the English bit of me).

    Every year on July 1st ever since we were in middle school, me and my friends have a "Fake English Accent Day" where we go around and speak in really corny fake british accents, and you aren't allowed to speak in any other way.

    It's pretty fun in public :D

    I could pull off a welsh cockney although it would make me want to cut out my own vocal chords...

    and probably make everyone around me wish my death.
