The whole Irish schtick was ridiculous. Chibs is a Scot who's both British Army AND IRA. Fucking moronic. Titus Welliver sounds more like he's from Derby or somewhere than anywhere on the island. Even in s4, Timothy V Murphy's accent teeters on the brink, and he's actually from Kerry!
Trixie and Silas Cool Ah heck go watch him on Deadwood He's great there. I got the best hug from him in Deadwood SD after series with cast. He is just th nicest and kindest man. One hell of a good heart and friendly. He layed his arm around me and pull ed me in for a photo shot and good strength that secures you with knowing "This is a Good Man" I have nothing bad to say about Titus. So he isn't Scottish but he winged it... Great part on 'Rough Riders" as BF Goodrich... with Theodore Roosevelt.
I'm Italian but i noticed Wlliver's wrong irish accent from the first time he apperead on the show!! And I'm sorry, I just think it0s because he is not a very good actor!! Take Charlie Hunnam, he's english but he can do a pretty convincing american accent. Brad Pitt in the snatch is another good example... or the True Blood guy...
the irish accents in sons are shockingly bad no were in the north sounds like that i love the show but they really need to sort the whole accent thing out..
Just for the record I do love Sons, but the Irish eps were a real nadir. An insult to Ireland and the usual stereotypical nonsense that glorifies the IRA and seems to pass fine for Americans who insist they are Irish because their great great granddad might have been
Titus really had trouble with the 'O' vowel sound. Each time I hear it, it sounds more like Spinal Tap's English accent! It's very very evident when he says 'home' here and the times he says 'now' They really REALLY should have gone for Jimmy Nesbitt.
I love how he says "yeah" after he finishes a sentence. do they really talk like that in ireland? i would incorporate that into my sentence finishing but it wouldn't sound right, yeah.
I'm English and most of the time the Irish accents in SoA seem fine, but there are moments when even I think "Jesus christ....they couldn't have redone that part?!"
As an ignorant American I'm glad I can say these accents didn't ruin the show for me, but I could imagine how much it pissed off actual Irish people lol. If it's any consolation Chibs made Jimmy pay for his bad accent.
Most of the Irish accents on this are terrible (with a couple of exceptions). A great program, but I almost stopped watching because the accents were so bad.
Jesus h christ on a bike...Theres thousands of great actors north of the border who can hold guns n jockey a suicide horse...why even down south they've....ahh , sure never mind. Sons of Anarchy nearly lost me coz of this, but luckily, i'm not a billyboy.
Titus Welliver is a great actor, Kurt Sutter hand picked him for the role, there are times where he does a spot on Irish accent then there are times where he does a cockney accent, either way he is a great actor
okay so im sick of hearing the bullshit yeah i got it, it was bad accent but its a show they arent trying to talk bad about the irishman, im irish well as descent but serious? its a show no need for the yank bs cmon
Wtf is going on. No one sounds northern Irish even though they are supposed to be from Belfast. It's all a bastardised American idea of Irish mixed in with scottish and yank speak. How hard would it have been to get some real Northern Irish people to act in these roles. Typical American nonsense.
Oh and by the by this is not james nesbitt (who is irish) it is titus welliver (who is american). just the worst irish accent since richard gere in the jackel
he couldn't even do a Boston accent in The Town. A friend and I went to see the movie, and I recognized him. the minute he opened his mouth, my friend and I began laughing. She doesn't even watch SOA, but she knew that accent was horrid.
To top it off, an actress from Gossip Girl, Blake Lively, was also in the movie, and she had it down pat, accent and all to the point I didn't even realize it was her until the credits rolled.
Talk about an epic fail and being pwned all at the same time! lol!
Hell yeah, there will be. We know, that SAMCRO goes to prison, but Kurt Sutter said, most of their prison time will have happened off-screen, so the upcoming season will start with (most of) them being released. Just google it, there's already great photos from the set - they're preparing season 4, no worries. It's already in full motion :-) Damn, I can't wait!
@TheReverendRaver aww stop "the weeee corner shop" and the place the sons wer stayin in belfast looks like the inside of a house in 1940s limerick from angelas ashes or somethin.
im irish and a huge sons fan, but seriously.....they really made one cunt of a fuck up with the irish accents on this show....jimmy, fiona, edmond, and liam o neill...terrible accents and im also sick of how real irish actors arent used and this stereotype of god fearin catholics still livin in 1960...cop on te fuck
*shrugs* The accent sounds okay to me. But, I'm from Detroit so what do I know? I definitely notice when Jax's accent goes in and out even though it's usually subtle.
I guess the same way I think Titus' accent was fine, is the same way most british people think Charlie Hunnam's accent is good. Because it is horrendous shit.
haha I do love SOA but Belfast isn't stuck in the bloody 80s!!!! I mean, it's been a few months since ive been in Belfast but Im pretty sure it hasnt changed that much haha!!! And those accents jesus christ haha!!! mon season 4 te fuck!!! ;)
@GodspeedHellbound no we dont ya retard theres shit loads a different accents that sound completely different in ireland and not one of them sounds like the stereotypical squeaky leprechaun accent you americas but on
@PlanetAgnostic And excluding Hugh Laurie, most British people doing an American Accent aren't that great, for example the guy who plays Jax, his accent is terrible.
as an irishman i cant say that even the woman in the show who is irish sound fucking awful. n wats with the cop jeep, we have armoured jeeps over here not emmerdale farm jobs. i thought the sons travelled back in time the way they said ireland was
hes an awsome actor,,,, i can tell ya bout bad accents, bein from boston, i watched the Departed, gone baby gone, and both were great movies, but wow,, leo Decaprio is a great actor but FUCK,, his boston accent was horrible.. so this guys irish accent couldnt be that bad,, if it is, it fooled me,, hes still a good actor
@OwnageMountain If you're talking about Chibs, he's still Scottish in the show. He just married someone and moved to Ireland. Hence the confusion with some people.
