With the exception of maybe 4 or 5 of the actors in the series, everyone in the show has been totally new to me, and I gotta say theyre putting out some great performances.
Can only hope to see more of them outside the show as well.

    I agree! The only one I knew was Daryl (Norman Reedus). I think it's a combo of their characters developing and their acting talent.

    The wife was watching "Love Actually" the other night, and... BAM! There was Rick, with a British accent!

    His credits: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0511088/

    That's because he is English. He was born in London.

    CrossedArms.gif Unlike American actors trying to do an Irish or English accent; Irish and English actors are capable of pulling off a very credible american accent. It just proves that Irish and English actors are more talented.

    When I first saw the show last year and saw Rick for the first time, I almost choked! I recognized him from Love Actually, and I looooooved him in that movie :)

    If any of you watch True Blood, though, you'll notice that very few of the main characters are played by Americans.

    Touche. I apologize for Madonna, especially.

    You know, if you cannot fake it, best not to even try -- like Kevin Costner's Robin Hood. :laugh:

    Batman (Christian Bale), the new Superman (Henry Cavill), and the new Spiderman were all born or raised in the UK. What's happened to us?! :laugh:

    Actually, who you should really be apologising for is Tom Cruise's stupid attempt at an Irish accent in "Far and Away" :explode:

    Good point. I think he studied Lucky Charms cereal adverts for that accent.

    For the most part the True Blood actors do pretty well but I am from the area that True Blood is set in and the accents are a little too thick. I mean I probably sound like a hick but most people here don't sound that bad.

    I got to watching a crazy old Rob Schneider movie last night called Big Stan. The guy playing Hershel was in it as a prison warden. He sounded just the same as he does on TWD. Maybe he naturally has a country sounding voice.

    Hmm... I haven't seen "The Mist", but I know it was written and directed by Frank Darabont, who wrote and directed the pilot of "The Walking Dead". Very cool.

    I was very disappointed with "The Mist". It strayed away from the Stephen King novella too much. They had completely different endings . :grumble:
