Jamie Bamber on acting with Edward James Olmos

[moiriv415]

wtf was he saying

[deepfriedewok]

cant hear a thing he said

[StevenJKpower]

his accent is a fucking eargasm

[theprofessor172]

I remember last year at Shore Leave, he was saying how when they told him he would be playing Edward James Olmos's son, he thought he should go "lay in a tanning bed for a week" and "dig chunks out of my face." Biggest laugh at the con.

[alittlesickducksucks]

@theprofessor172 I can't help but laugh at the "dig chunks out of my face," but that is an awful thing to say. Shocked into laughter, I guess. lmao

It's funny how people react to an English actor doing (gasp!) an American accent! It's not unusual - Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, Jude Law, Anthony Hopkins and dozens of other UK actors have done very convincing US accents in films and on TV. Remember, us Americans think they're the ones that have accents but to their ears, we're the ones that talk differently!

[mrchu2k3]

Well said mate.

[TheDoctorNita]

@VirgoGal74 Hugh Laurie as Doctor Gregory House!

[todderizer2000]

wtf?? he has an english accent!

[MaryAnnJohanson]

Yeah. Probably because he's English.

[gatolocoverga152]

@MaryAnnJohanson  ...no no HE IS AN ENGLISHMAN !!!!!!!!

[Mapanatl]

@MaryAnnJohanson He's not English. He's a stupid Cockney.

I could only understand one or 2 words.

Geez!!

[MaryAnnJohanson]

@Mapanatl Better go look up "Cockney," Mapanati. If you're gonna be insulting, you could at least be accurate about it

Except Bamber isn't Cockney, either. Though I'm sure he's very sorry his accent is inappropriate for your ear,

[rottencat240]

@Mapanatl geez! the nerve of some people! by god, what are they THINKING, talking in an accent you don't approve of!

don't be insulting. I'm sure your accent is just downright ugly.

[MinionBooBoo]

@Mapanatl You must be a dumbass and not read anything, Jamie was born and raised in London, he is every bit as English as anyone else in that city. He went to school in Cambridge and then went onto to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. If you're gonna go insult someone, at least find the correct info to do it.

[ctraver]

@MaryAnnJohanson His American accent is surprisingly good though. I've heard English attempts to replicate our accent. It rarely turns out well(I suspect they say the same of American attempts to imitate their accents)

[MinionBooBoo]

@ctraver Honestly, I've heard way more successful British actors doing American accents than Americans mimicking British ones.

[TheDoctorNita]

@MinionBooBoo agreed! Some american actors just do not have their British accent right... eeeeek

[TheDoctorNita]

@ctraver Hugh Laurie does a great job!

[ctraver]

@TheDoctorNita You are right about that. I didn't realize he was British, I don't watch House or follow actors in shows I don't watch so I had no idea until I randomly stumbled on his wikipedia page.

[wander099]

The first time I heard him speak when he wasn't on the show I was suprised at his accent as well. He hides it well as Lee Adama.

[lycheenut]

He looks surprisingly good with the scruffy beard and messy hair.

[echidna82]

I'm so grateful to you MaryAnnJohanson for the clip!I would like to see more of it....anyway thanks again!

[bardura87bngl]

he is sooo cute lol thanks
