why is it that british actors seem to pull off far more believable--and realisitic to the point that it's almost unnoticeable-- american accents than americans attempting british accents?

it just seems I can think of a lot more brits pulling off the american accent than the other way arround

because they are better than us

10/26/2007 11:52:44 PM

seems that way

umm because you are used to hearing an american accent

if you were used to hearing british accents you wouldn't notice the americans pulling this off
