It reminds me of Eric Bana's accent a little; definitely forced and maybe a teeny bit whiny. Would have loved to see him on a successful American network show, though--in his natural accent, of course.
i dont think his accent is necessarily bad...there certainly are words that come through as very forced though, like 'hired' at @0:05. but there are lots of english, scottish, etc actors who have even worse american accents.
i think a big reason it comes off forced is that everyones used to his natural voice and his english accent. if you had never heard his natural voice, i dont know if it wouldnt be a believable american. i mean, theres americans who talk in weird affected ways...
I think this would have gone for an interesting series. I only knew of this because of David Tennant, but I honestly do think that this is an interesting plot when I read up on it and that it would have gone well. And more, I think his accent is amazing. A shame that they didn't follow up on this. It could have been really interesting.
kay honestly i love everything about david tennant, but this is one thing i don't, his american accent. It just sounds like it could slip into scottish at any second.
While I love David's natural accent.. I think the reason why he used his American accent is because people were afraid his Scottish accent wouldn't be well understood.. some people have a hard time understanding Scottish, Irish and even English some times.
I really wish they would have aired this series.. it really does look interesting. Why can't television people listen to the people they are entertaining instead of guessing what will and won't succeed. :|
Okay, so he really does sound American BUT I don't like this accent. It's such a waste of his own beautiful brogue! Even his English accent is beautiful. This American one is just too .... I don't know. It sounds like he's trying too hard, maybe. :( Sorry David. You are a brilliant actor, but it's true.
aww...i wish this had happened...nbc seems to hate the anglos lol first richard ayoade and the IT Crowd remake, now david tennant and Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.
I still want to believe that he's better off without it, but I still would've liked to see a season of it!
@vidaliadear Yeah, American TV for the most part is rubbish anyway. I hardly ever watch it for that reason (usually only if there's something decent on BBC America).
dear god. that accsent... it makes me tence. Please, David! I love your scottish accsent. Hell, I love your pretend british accsent. But american one?dear god no.
Lmao! I start giggling every time david talks. Im expecting a Scottish accent...haha! =p i wish they picked this up. I was excited when I heard about it.
/Facepalm Who made David talk with an "american" accent ? Who wants to hide that great Scottish accent? and the fake accent is sorta cringe worthy. xD
@empressofhufflepuffs. Two thumbs up for stepping on the couch! He can step on my couch any time!!! Two thumbs waaaaaayyyyyyyy down on the accent. Ick. Barf. Be Scottish. Be English. Be anything but American. Gag me...
@MelissaB1976 That's probably who he copied to sound American. Only it didn't quite work by the sound of it. Regardless, I wouldn't mind seeing him as the Riddler (an American character) in Batman 3. It's rumoured David Tennant and Johnny Depp are fighting over the role. Both would be good in the part, so I don't mind who they cast as Edward Nigma/the Riddler.
Is anyone else as weirded out by his American accent?!! It's really very good, but I'm having troubles registering the fact that the voice coming out of Rex is actually David Tennant....
@LilianaCroush It's a remake of this vampire movie from the 80's. Look up 'david tennant fright night' on google or something for a photo. It will blow your mind. Haha. Tell me what you think of it!
Here's something I'm wondering, is his american accent bad, or am I just so used to his Scottish and English ones?
