Which shows how much YOU watched. There were quite a few non-Yank accents around, and when - for instance - they needed a British accent, they usually got a Brit, not an Italian-American with a bad dialogue coach (thank you so much, Frasier).

I take it you mean that long haired guy who was a Ranger. As a Brit, and I speak for my people, we were utterly mortified at this guy and his non-existent acting ability. I forget his name, I must have unknowingly installed some kind of mental block to prevent me from ever recalling....
But to defend British acting talent, I only have to quote the likes of Alec Guiness, Anthony Hopkins, and of course our lord Patrick Stewert. And no, I won't mention Hugh grant in the same breath....

Jason Carter played the Ranger Marcus Cole. I didnt think that he was that bas an actor, certainly he is nothing compared to the git who played Bryon. Thats bad acting not to mention a complete waste of air time that could have been better spent on preety much anything.

Well, I don't know if I would give Marcus any awards, though I wouldn't give him whatever they give actors who are insane. Paddlings, I guess. I was commenting more on a certain word that seemed to creep into every sentence as a proof of his nationality. Cor blimy.

And he was utterly pathetic as the demon instigator in "Charmed", where he pitted the sisters against eachother with his powers of irritation and frustration. Not a convincing crook, neu.

JMS did seem to have the strange idea that accents are genetic. Since Marcus wasn't born in England, and, IIRC, had never actually been to England.
He did know about King Arthur though. Because that is ingrained in our very chromosomes. Yes. Bloody bastards.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
