Having an accent isn't a problem. But in this case it is that some American tries to speak in a language he can't speak at all. If Sutherland could speak russian at least a bit his pronounciation would be way better - with american accent. The same thing happened when he spoke German. He cant speak German, so his pronounciation is simply wrong. It is no accent, it is just wrong pronounciation.
@miro1985 well it exactly how we show patterns of speech and how we either pronounce / mispronounce /delete or substitue sounds that gives you and accent.
Having an accent and complete wrong pronounciation is not the same. In this video the last is the case. He doesn't know the words he pronounce. he just immitate the words like a parrot. And that's a huge difference to actually be able to pronounce the words correctly. Accent doesn't bother at all in that case.
He got the first part right: "Pochemu ty zdes'?" - "Why are you here?"
But the next sentence comes out like "Mne prikizali okh--?--nyat zdes'." - "They told me to guard here." Nothing about a building or which side... and the grammar is nasty.
If he wanted to say "I was ordered" I think he should've said "Mne bylo prikazano"
@norcalbirdz Well his russian is really funny, because it is a language difficult to pronounce right, I suppose other languages just sound wrong and terrible, but russian is very cool that way - it sounds very funny when pronounced wrong :)
but they actually got a russian guy to play the guard. that's an improvement. usually all the "russians" on the show speak russian with horrible accents.
The only bad Russian accent was the Drazen's character played by Dennis Hopper but since he's a cool actor it didn't matter that his accent was horrible.
Plus, this Russian accent by Bauer is way better then his German accent in the awful Season 8
@WatchMyAwesomeVideos no, the russian accents are always bad. for some reason they like to hire yugoslavians to play russians.
and it's hard to believe that the german accent was even worse than this russian accent :P. because i needed the subtitles to figure out what he was trying to say in russian
Yeah and what's funny is alot of American's find German must easier to grasp as opposed to German but nope not even the world's most skilled CTU agent can figure it out.
I thought he sounded kind of funny...I don't speak a bit of Russian but ive heard quite a bit of it. It achieves the desired affect for us dumb americans though :P
LMAO!

Acctually Bauer is the only one pronouncing it right. All the native Russians pronounce it wrong. Because It's Jack Bauer.

All they have to do is to hire someone for soundtrack. The actor himself could even not know what russian is for all that matters. :D
