Yes, Gyllenhall's English accent was almost flawless in 'The Honorable Woman'.
Come to think of it, Hugo Blick, who wrote & directed both that and 'The Shadow Line' should strongly be considered to co-write and perhaps even direct a Bond-flick, imo, he's a class act.
American accents are 'easier' to learn, as they have less tone difference then British/Irish accents. Same reason why it's harder for Americans to change to a British/Irish accent. The more tone variety you hear when learning the language (as a kid) the easier it is to take on different accents.
Americans can sometimes do a decent Brit accent. I actually thought Hugh Lauries accent was a bit dodgy.
The American accent has quite a lot of Irish in it - particularly east coast - so not so hard for Dornan.
I don't mean really if it's a duff. It's going to be soft porn, so the risk is that he just becomes iredeemibly naff as a result. May be it will be well done but if not and it's a bit embarrassing it could impact his career.
I totally agree with you @AdaShelby
Not as James Bond, surely? :P
