Argentinian version of what? i cant make out whats the name he says, anyone who does mind telling me the name if you are able to hear it? its at around 4:20 - 4:40
@andyzdbest123456789 Well to be honest the American accent is so easy for us Brits, lol I don't like to brag but I can do a pretty awesome accent to :D
@TopJew95 I'm English but the accent he uses I find hard, the one everyone in the UK seems to try and copy is a Californian accent which i agree is pretty easy
Of course, there are some great American actors. Meryl Streep comes to mind. But most of my favorites are British. About the "looks," I think the British actors are every bit as attractive as the American, in spite of the fact that the British ones are less likely to have veneers on their teeth, Botox in their faces, collagen in their lips, nose jobs, breast implants, liposuction, etc.
but for character acting, for comedy, for villainy -- you don't get better than British / Irish actors.
Everyone having a go at the british, lets remember two of the best actors in that show were british Stringer Bell and Mcnulty, it says alot when american directors hhire british actors to play main parts MOTHERFUCKAZZZ!!
y them the top commonts... macnulty was born in england and lived in ireland for a long time, wtf you on bout him butcherin the enlish accent anyway he butcherd the baltimore accent way more
Great actor but there were definitely moments when his American accent showed its flaws on the Wire, when I'd think "where the hell is this guy from?!"
when they emphasized the fact that he played a guy who inventent peniciline but the credit went to somone else I thought they will refer to McNulty. He also was a guy who did all the work but some cunts took credit in front of tv news camera.
I'm so pleased I managed to watch all 5 seasons of The Wire and avoided hearing Dominic West speak without his American accent. I don't think I could have watched McNulty again!
I bet Dominic West is somewhat tired of answering questions about the Wire. But I imagine he knows that it was the type of transcendent piece of art that will follow an actor for ages. To his dying day Brando was stopped on the streets by people who were enamored by the Godfather.
Hey hey HEY! You do NOT insult Dominic West, like your incompetent self can do any better. And thanks SO MUCH for sharing your comment on a video whom the person you don't like is in it, it clearly says 'Dominic West'.
And FYI, I fucking loved that movie... He was great in it so take your shit ass comment and go wallow in your own self pity.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why are people surprised that he's British? His accent as McNulty was one of the worst of all time, he couldn't disguise his natural voice. He's STILL a great actor and his portrayal of McNulty was great.
@Froggywonod You might not care, but your comment about McNulty going undercover as a queer british actor was published in an article about this guy in The Sunday Times newspaper last week. Nice one!
i didnt kno he was actually british i knew from the wire then i stumbled on to his small role i was unaware of in "300" (the traitor guy who rapes the queen and takes the persian bribe then gets stabbed.."da fuck did i do" lol) but when i saw him in 300 i was laughing saying to myself geez mcnulty thats a horrible brit accent - it was his natural accent lol
It's funny, there's something very slight about his accent that sounds American, it's definitely more transatlantic than many English accents. Maybe I'm hearing things from watching The Wire but that's how it sounds

@citylife80 The Wire did manage to get some great actors on that show. I have been watching all of these interviews of the actors and they are nothing like they are in real life.
@ramonalejandrosuare they fucking blew my mind the both of them. specially stringer. spot on accents. seems british actors are better at faking american accents than the other way around.
@WiseGuy5674 Yeah thats gotta be pretty hard to do. Be an Englishman playing an American trying to put on a bad English accent but he damn well pulled it off.
Please, can someone tell me what's the name of the show they mention on 4:30? English is not my mother tongue and I can't figure out what they say. Thanks!
He's speaking English properly. The American accent is widely accepted as the most toe curlingly annoying accent in the world, which is rendered all the worse when the person using that accent to talk is a fucking moron (like you unquestionably are). We invented the language you've bastardized and ruined with your painful drawl, you xenophobic prick.
Xenophobic? Relax, man. Just because your entire country talks like fags, doesn't make me xenophobic. And I'm pretty sure you didn't invent the language... languages aren't invented, you moronic prick. Think about what you're saying before you say it. As for bastardising and ruining it? The only reason it's spoken around the world is because of your overreaching, imperialist, racist history. Congrats. It's only suitable and natural that a hybrid of the language would develop.
Blah blah blah - stereotypical, ignorant shouty American. Nice one. So what, languages just exist irrespective of the existence of people then? English was crafted by English people...hence the fucking name, you complete cretin. Also, an American trying to lecture anyone in the modern day about overreaching imperialism or indeed racism beggars belief.
I suppose your brand of English is a hybrid, being a mix of original English, laziness and stultifying stupidity.
Actually, seems that I am Irish, it's a hybrid of original English and modern Irish culture. You might, as well, notice the irony of the imperialism thing now that I have told you I'm from Ireland. You might also want to note the complete irony of calling me a xenophobe, while now claiming Americans to be lazy and stupid. You sir are a bundle of contradictions!I will, however, insist that Americans can speak the language any fucking way they want -in spite of your elegant opinion
You are surely the most retarded person I have ever come into contact with. Shut your stupid fat head up. I'm fucking Irish. And I already mentioned that above. So fuck you. And yes, England does have a racist history. And so does America. Neither have anything to do with me... Spastic
@Sirstingray Funny how every other American thinks they're Irish. I hope you were actually born and raised in Ireland as there's a huge difference between possessing heritage and a bloodline from a certain country and literally being from there.
@jonnypops1984 "Funny how every other American thinks they're Irish. I hope you were actually born and raised in Ireland as there's a huge difference between possessing heritage and a bloodline from a certain country and literally being from there."
Sure thing, go ahead and inform all Asian-Britons that they have no right to consider themselves Indian or Pakistani - see how that works for you.
And your English is far superior; love the use of "coolest". Omar was far "cooler" though.
@MattyJames25 Um... I wasn't. I'm half Northern Irish and half Palestinian with immediate relatives in Lebanon. However, I was born and raised in England and consider myself to be British more than anything else. I was trying to establish how Irish Sirstringray is because, on the one hand, he asked why Dominic West spoke like a 'fag' (a typically moronic and small minded American thing to say) yet, bizarrely, distanced himself from his American roots by claiming to indeed be Irish.
@jonnypops1984 Well, while on the subject, research the American employment of 'z' - it actually predates the codification of 's' in England... The British pilgrims used 'z', and the language evolved afterward (or more correctly was standardized in England as both 's' and 'z' were used), so we didn't replace the 's' with anything: we abide by a purer form of the language ;)
@jonnypops1984 Also, why, when Americans speak, is the letter 't' softened to sound like a 'd' within certain words, such as 'water'? That one's always bugged me.
@jonnypops1984 I don't like how you guys say words with "er" endings. Such as drawings. You guys pronounce it "draw-er-ings" and we pronounce it "drawlings"
@Sirstingray Also, mate, you have to love how David Simon & Ed Burns realised they needed to draft in a couple of 'fag' voiced (your words) Brits to play the two best/biggest/important/coolest characters (McNulty and Stringer Bell) even though they're as far removed from Baltimore and the USA as culturally possible!
So, not only do we Brits speak and write English properly, but we apparently also do a better job pretending to speak that really awful American version than actual Americans too!
Are you saying Americans can't write properly? Is that exclusively and English right now? And I'm sure no American has ever been used to play a British character in a movie or TV series....
@Sirstingray Apparently neither can the Irish " Is that exclusively and English right now?" is not a proper sentence u sheepshagging pikey wrong un. Don't forget us "fag voiced" brits own a third of youre landmass and i suggest you learn your place and show some respect to the civilised who have been shitting on your'e country for over 800 years. haha jokes i don't like being a racist but if you give it out you've got 2 take it in.
@Sirstingray In the traditional sense of the written English language, no, American's can't. The differences between certain words may only be subtle, such as replacing an 's' with a 'z' or omitting an 'u' here and there, but the fact that these changes exist in the first place doesn't make any sense as there was nothing wrong with the English language in the first place. Why spell 'realise' as 'realize' and 'colour' as 'color'?
Also, when it comes to speaking, why turn a 't' into a 'd'?
Argentinian version of what? i cant make out whats the name he says, anyone who does mind telling me the name if you are able to hear it? its at around 4:20 - 4:40

Sure thing, go ahead and inform all Asian-Britons that they have no right to consider themselves Indian or Pakistani - see how that works for you.
And your English is far superior; love the use of "coolest". Omar was far "cooler" though.

@MattyJames25 Um... I wasn't. I'm half Northern Irish and half Palestinian with immediate relatives in Lebanon. However, I was born and raised in England and consider myself to be British more than anything else. I was trying to establish how Irish Sirstringray is because, on the one hand, he asked why Dominic West spoke like a 'fag' (a typically moronic and small minded American thing to say) yet, bizarrely, distanced himself from his American roots by claiming to indeed be Irish.

@MattyJames25 At least the Americans haven't replaced the 's' in coolest with a 'z'...yet! ;-)
jonnypops1984 1 year ago
@jonnypops1984 Well, while on the subject, research the American employment of 'z' - it actually predates the codification of 's' in England... The British pilgrims used 'z', and the language evolved afterward (or more correctly was standardized in England as both 's' and 'z' were used), so we didn't replace the 's' with anything: we abide by a purer form of the language ;)

@MattyJames25 It doez?

@jonnypops1984 Also, why, when Americans speak, is the letter 't' softened to sound like a 'd' within certain words, such as 'water'? That one's always bugged me.

In fairness, he is speaking like a fag though....

@jonnypops1984 I don't like how you guys say words with "er" endings. Such as drawings. You guys pronounce it "draw-er-ings" and we pronounce it "drawlings"

@Sirstingray Also, mate, you have to love how David Simon & Ed Burns realised they needed to draft in a couple of 'fag' voiced (your words) Brits to play the two best/biggest/important/coolest characters (McNulty and Stringer Bell) even though they're as far removed from Baltimore and the USA as culturally possible!
So, not only do we Brits speak and write English properly, but we apparently also do a better job pretending to speak that really awful American version than actual Americans too!

@jonnypops1984
Are you saying Americans can't write properly? Is that exclusively and English right now? And I'm sure no American has ever been used to play a British character in a movie or TV series....

@Sirstingray Apparently neither can the Irish " Is that exclusively and English right now?" is not a proper sentence u sheepshagging pikey wrong un. Don't forget us "fag voiced" brits own a third of youre landmass and i suggest you learn your place and show some respect to the civilised who have been shitting on your'e country for over 800 years. haha jokes i don't like being a racist but if you give it out you've got 2 take it in.

@Sirstingray In the traditional sense of the written English language, no, American's can't. The differences between certain words may only be subtle, such as replacing an 's' with a 'z' or omitting an 'u' here and there, but the fact that these changes exist in the first place doesn't make any sense as there was nothing wrong with the English language in the first place. Why spell 'realise' as 'realize' and 'colour' as 'color'?
Also, when it comes to speaking, why turn a 't' into a 'd'?
