A lot of Oz and NZ actors have no choice but to talk in a calmed down, more American accent. It's amazing the number of people that just don't understand what they're saying at all. Same with Scots.
@fightinside1 It's not his regular accent - if you watch the bonus features for RED there's clips of him talking in his normal kiwi accent. This is some weird American-esque accent he's putting on
@lilymacs when people live/work/travel in another country for so long, they start to lose their native accent and pick up the accent of the place they're visiting........Karl's spent a lot of time in America, so he's picked up a little bit of an American accent lost lost a little bit of his Kiwi accent........
I agree. He's an actor and there are some actor that work by completing trying to become their character. I don't know if he'd been working on a film where he was American or something but I don't think he's losing his accent, I think he was just trying to practice the American accent.
Yeah, it's called "Method Acting" and actors like Robert Deniro (SP?) do it as well. It's probably easier for him to just talk like his character the whole time through filming, on set or not.
you know what guys, if ever a live action movie for METAL GEAR SOLID will be made,in my opinion i think KARL URBAN is the perfect choice to portray SOLID SNAKE. agree??..
Oh dear...I think he sounds sexy whatever the accent (Bourne Supremacy, anyone?). I do so love this man. Thanks for posting the interview! I never played the game, but I floved the movie, and am all for a sequel.
oh dear god he is incredibly cute

He's purposefully putting on the accent. In other interviews with UK or NZ interviewers his normal accent is there.

He is a actor he sometimes has to hide his accent. And I think it's very difficult to get your accent back from one day to annother.
That's what I think.
Sorry for my bad english ^^

Isn't he from New Zealand? Don't they have accents there? He sounds american to me.

He plays a lot of American roles so he has to embrace that accent. It's kind of like Christian Bale, he changes accents like I change socks.

Its because he got used to it for the shoot. He no doubt shook it off a few weeks after all the doom stuff.
