Its actually not too difficult for English actors to speak in a Southern Accent. Easier than most Americans can pull off. Most Americans that aren't of the south can't seem to get it right. They always overdue it. The lady, Laura Cohen that plays Maggie, is also English as well.
When I came here I knew I was going to read comments on his British accent. lol By the way, I wish I could put on an American accent as good as his on the show. As much as I like my British accent, I'd love to be able to speak in a proper, convincing American accent as well.
His hick accent isn't Southern. He sounds like a generic cowboy from Texas. Georgian accents are varied and different. Shame comes closest but everyone else? Yeeesh
I swear he fooled me with that souther accent he uses in the show. either way, his native British accent and his souther accent for the show is just DAMN SEXY! :)
I just knew he would have an English accent. I just knew it! Seeing the show for both seasons this past week, I just knew it. He just act really perfect on the show but there's a thing that really made me think it wasn't real.
He is well known in the UK he has done a great deal of TV here...we find it funny hearing him put that accent on. Nice to see him get a gig on a big US show he probably got it as they saw his work here which is well received.
jesus christ! so hard to register this face with that voice. it almost seems like his actions in real life would be the direct opposite than that of his character. seems like the character he plays fits his face more. the strong facial features. it almost seems like hes acting here, sadly he is not. damn good actor though just a bit of a mind fuck. i guess il just have to take comfort in hoping he has an identical twin who really is.... RICK GRIMES!
Goddamn these upstart Brits. They're the fucking Mexicans of the acting world. I've got no problem with them doing a regular American accent but seeing SO MANY of them fill the roles of southerners is downright annoying. Everyone on True Blood sounds freaking retarded. Andrew Lincoln is at least believable and not overdone like so many others. I thought he was southern when I first watched TWD. Still don't like that they take work from hard working uhmurrican actors. THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!!!!
@kostaki112 Hah! that ending statement is just meant to be amusing. I won't deny there are a lot of American actors who don't deserve the success they enjoy. I think that there are many British actors who do very well filling American roles. Christian Bale and Heath Ledger were phenomenal in the Dark Knight. But no I don't think many of them do well with more complex American accents. You don't see many Americans filling British roles so why should so many Brits fill American ones?
@Submariner21 Because it's make up time for all those British villians from the 1980's. Alan Rickman in "Die Hard", David Warner in "Tron", "Terrance Stamp in "Superman II", etc.
@elasolezito Sheriff is voted in by a community. Police officer is applied for by the individual through the government and is posted somewhere. There is no voting in of a police officer versus a sheriff.
Wow, as a Southerner who is almost always annoyed by how badly actors screw up our accent, I've always been impressed with what a good job he does with it in Walking Dead, so much so that I assumed he actually was Southern himself. What a surprise to find out he's English! Props to him. :)
A fellow Marine from the South once told me that Southern accent is pretty much an English accent with a drunken slur. lol And I must say I am inclined to agree.
british actors play southerners the best. look at vivien leigh. ms. leigh played southern ladies perfectly quite a few times & won two oscars for her deep south characters. michael caine played southern in "hurry sundown". so, there it is...the british have it down when it comes to playing dixie. thanks for this interview. i love the walking dead & andrew lincoln. great show, great actor.
Anyone else think he could play a good Abraham Lincoln? The two have very similar facial features. Slap some makeup on him and you've got yourself Honest Abe.
@purplepoptart00 Actually you'd be surprised. For people ACTUALLY from the south, they can tell that he's faking. Shane/Jon Bernthal's accent is a lot more believable. Though for the rest of the country that doesn't come into relations with most southerners, Rick/Andrew Lincoln's accent is very believable.
LOL I've never heard him speak out of The Walking Dead until this. I looked him up on imdb.com and the bio said "He was born in London and his mother is South African." I was like WUT.
@successfull88 There's no such thing as a British accent: Britain includes Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. Unless you genuinely believe he's incorporating all four accents into his speech, you're wrong: it's an English accent.
Ok thanks for taking your time to reply. I must have an "English" accent too being American..hmmm Canadians must have one also since they to speak "English" wouldn't you say? @Thewouf
@successfull88 Sure you speak English, but English comes from England. Ever heard of that country? Like I said a British accent is very vague: a Scot is a Brit, as is a Welshman, and they therefore have British accents too. I know it may be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but England is full of English people, and English people have English accents. End of.
@successfull88 You have an american accent but speak the English language. He has an English accent and speaks the english language. Scottish people have scottish accents but speak the English language. Britain isn't a country - it's a group of nations. Understand?
@thatkypieguy Britain is actually a province of France (La Bretagne). Great Britain is an island in which three states are located. Those three states are part of the country --> United Kingdom.
@thatkypieguy That is not completely correct. Theres also a Scots language which is distinct from the English language. You still have to consider that there are dialects which are often viewed as distinct languages but that is just a question of definition.
@Thewouf Is there such a thing as an English accent though? If you think of all the accents in England - Geordie, Yorkshire, Cornish, London etc - they vary wildly
@gorrrrrn Well in my opinion people from all these places DO have english accents, just as a Texan has an American accent (albeit a very odd one). It's a good point you're making seeing as an accent is effectively just a way of pronouncing things, and in that respect every country has loads of accents.
@Lunarvx22 I don't think Americans can do ANY accent, Period. Sorry, but that's the honest truth. Can you imagine any American actor do something similar to what Idris Elba or Dominic West did inThe Wire. Or Andrew Lincoln in The Walking Dead. You think doing the southern accent is difficult? Try what Idris Elba did... Goddamn that was sick skills.
@henselot Or tell it to Robert Downey, Jr., who did a spot-on Australian accent in Natural Born Killers and who won the Academy Award for his portrayal of Charlie Chaplin.
@Lunarvx22 In season 2 of The Wire, Dominic West did a "American doing Received Pronunciation/Brit Accent." That's the kind acting that you'd want to stand up and applaud.... BTW, if you didn't already know, Dominic West is an Englishman who played a Baltimore cop with (spot on) Baltimore accent). Heck, even Aussies and Kiwis do accents well. Its the Americans who can't. or maybe I don't know enough...
hes a sick actor. and Not ONCE has his accent slipped.. not even a bit, and not only is he putting on a North American accent, its a southern accent. lol, not easy.
@kirkmeister555 okay lol! But yeah good sites to watch it is walmart .com,it does cost money there though. and then every Sunday night they have a new episode on AMC:) im glad you found a site but those are the other ways...I guess:)
Great to see Andrew doing well in america. He is a fantastic actor who cares about his proffesion. Check out Love Actually Juliette and Mark scene on youtube to see just how good he is not a lot of words buy perfect acting.
As a Brit and having seen Andrew Lincoln on TV shows such as This Life and Teachers (which is brilliant), it's kind of the other way around - he sounds weird with an American accent. I lived in NC for 2 years and I couldn't even begin to do the accent (which to this day is my favourite American accent). His English accent is starting to sound a little American...
I was wondering how well he did the southern american accent. Usually only the people from the place the accent is from can tell if an accent is truly good or not. Like when say americans try to do english accents. I can really tell if they are good or not. So do you americans think hes good then?
As a southern Girl. Born and raised in North Carolina. His accent as a resident of Georgia is nearly flawless. And I can appreciate that he didn't make the same mistake most English, Irish and Scottish actors make and make the accent far too pronounced almost cartoon like. For some reason I think actors only focus on stereotypes when forming their voices, all southern people do not sound like ignorant and slow morons. Example Any American part Ewen McGregor ever played. Fail.
@tankgirl787 Completely agree with you! I hate when people use stereotypes to form their accents in films. It sounds so fake, like the posh or cockney Englishman. People seem to lay the accent on really thick and as you say, it sounds cartoon like. I didn't even know Andrew Lincoln was English untill recently as i thought he was american! What do you think about the character "Morgan" from the first episode and his accent? He's another Englishman from London. I thought he did really well.
His accent is passable, however I find it is a more generic accent being kind of a mash up of a Charleston, South Carolina accent and maybe a little bit of Georgia. Some of his words were just a little too high on some of the syllables to really be accepted, the only people who wouldn't like it are those of us who care to study these things closely enough.
i knew he was british if you guys like him he is in a uk tv show called teachers its long finished now but its a really good comedy series and he is the main character in that also
if all i heard was the voice, i would NOT have assumed it was the same guy who plays Rick Grimes. That's the main reason why i came here, just to hear what his real British accent sounds like.
@bersabelle I don't think he was trying to say England is not in Britain, i think he was saying there is no such thing as a 'British accent'. There are English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish accents ect. but no such thing as a 'British accent'.
@Assasinsweed there are english, scottish, welsh and irish accents, and they can all be described as british accents since the word british is used to describe things that come from great britian. just like all american accents can be called american accents, but if you want to specify which kind of american accent, such as southern, new york, etc., you can. british is just a broad term.
@bersabelle I know what you mean but I doubt many people would call an Irish accent British or a Scottish accent British; It is is usually only the English accent that is called a British accent.
@bersabelle Yes, I know that, I'm English and I was trying to correct him because many Americans think that England and Britain is the same thing. This is where the term British accent" has stemmed from. We English people don't consider our accents to be ''British''. Americans don't refer to Welsh and Scottish accents as "British accents" do they ?
You noticed that a lot of Brits play the lead 'AMERICAN' character in MOST serieses and a lot of movies... Andrew Linoln in The Walking Dead, Hugh Laurie in HOUSE, Keifer Sutherland in 24, Tim Roth in Lie To Me, Arron Johnson as 'KICK-ASS' in KICK-ASS... LOL, I agree with 'rolfalmao' British actors seem play better Americans than American actors... But WHY? Dosen't really make sense to me? LOL
lol never a short answer from an actor :-)

As a southern Girl. Born and raised in North Carolina. His accent as a resident of Georgia is nearly flawless. And I can appreciate that he didn't make the same mistake most English, Irish and Scottish actors make and make the accent far too pronounced almost cartoon like. For some reason I think actors only focus on stereotypes when forming their voices, all southern people do not sound like ignorant and slow morons. Example Any American part Ewen McGregor ever played. Fail.

@tankgirl787 Completely agree with you! I hate when people use stereotypes to form their accents in films. It sounds so fake, like the posh or cockney Englishman. People seem to lay the accent on really thick and as you say, it sounds cartoon like. I didn't even know Andrew Lincoln was English untill recently as i thought he was american! What do you think about the character "Morgan" from the first episode and his accent? He's another Englishman from London. I thought he did really well.

Lennie James I knew was an English actor.
His accent is passable, however I find it is a more generic accent being kind of a mash up of a Charleston, South Carolina accent and maybe a little bit of Georgia. Some of his words were just a little too high on some of the syllables to really be accepted, the only people who wouldn't like it are those of us who care to study these things closely enough.

@tankgirl787 Yeah i didn't think he was as good as Lincoln but as you say, he was passable. I can't wait till his character comes back!

if all i heard was the voice, i would NOT have assumed it was the same guy who plays Rick Grimes. That's the main reason why i came here, just to hear what his real British accent sounds like.

@bersabelle I don't think he was trying to say England is not in Britain, i think he was saying there is no such thing as a 'British accent'. There are English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish accents ect. but no such thing as a 'British accent'.

@Assasinsweed there are english, scottish, welsh and irish accents, and they can all be described as british accents since the word british is used to describe things that come from great britian. just like all american accents can be called american accents, but if you want to specify which kind of american accent, such as southern, new york, etc., you can. british is just a broad term.
bersabelle 5 months ago
@bersabelle I know what you mean but I doubt many people would call an Irish accent British or a Scottish accent British; It is is usually only the English accent that is called a British accent.
Assasinsweed 5 months ago
@bersabelle Yes, I know that, I'm English and I was trying to correct him because many Americans think that England and Britain is the same thing. This is where the term British accent" has stemmed from. We English people don't consider our accents to be ''British''. Americans don't refer to Welsh and Scottish accents as "British accents" do they ?

You noticed that a lot of Brits play the lead 'AMERICAN' character in MOST serieses and a lot of movies... Andrew Linoln in The Walking Dead, Hugh Laurie in HOUSE, Keifer Sutherland in 24, Tim Roth in Lie To Me, Arron Johnson as 'KICK-ASS' in KICK-ASS... LOL, I agree with 'rolfalmao' British actors seem play better Americans than American actors... But WHY? Dosen't really make sense to me? LOL
