I find it hilarious how Brits like to complain how Americans can't act but when you look at any of their own bigshots, you'd almost never hear one of them bother with getting their roles straight. Sean Connery playing a Soviet? Scottish accent! Patrick Stewart playing a Frenchman? English accent and Earl Grey tea! Michael Caine as an upper-class English butler type? Give it a more Cockney / UK army sergeant whatever accent!

I'm sorry, but that's not "acting". That's "lazy".

@whereskim89 I agree, but...i can suspend my disbelif for a movie or two.

Though i do think its worth the effort to get foregin casting for foreign characters, even if the production lies in an entirely other country/language.

[whereskim89]

What actors do they have to play American parts?

[whereskim89]

There a lots of movies in America that use English actors to play anyone European. True this isn't acurate one bit, but one must use imagination. I would rather watch these movies or any with foreign actors with their language but with subtitles.

[whereskim89]

Why not just make it English soldiers in a English bunker?
