Well, for starters because he is the most American of all the superheroes. He is, conceptually, basically an icon of the classic All-American cliches of justice, freedom and do-goodery. His origin is merely an analogy for the old-world emigrants coming to the USA from a foreign land to become a decent US-citizen.
Have you read any of the comics or seen Richard Donner's film? If not, I perhaps understand your question... but if you have then I would have to wonder why you'd even ask.
I hate to bring it up but it also has to be an actor who can sound 'non-regional' - not per se upper-middle class, but at least not with any discernible Yorkshire or West-country (as examples) twang... it just wouldn't work.
007 Can't sound like someone off of 'Emmerdale' * ... "Ey'up, M - nought to do about 't Spectrrrr, aye?"
(*Popular English soap about rich farming folk in Yorkshire)
To be even fairer, that was dubbed by the guy who posted the video on youtube. Here is the real version, not that it is any better.
Sorry, video work not. Check on youtube you can.
I don't think Natalie Portman is acting in that clip.....she's genuinely in shock & horrified at what she is witnessing.
"Things were about to turn nasty".
Derbyshire, rather than Yorkshire.
:)) :)) :))
Care to explain that? :>
You were talking about actors not having regional accents, I was just referencing Dalton's Derbyshire moment in LTK.
Thank you sir.
I just watched an episode of Jimmy Kimmel, where he was interviewing Emilia Clarke. She breaks out into her American 'valley' accent at about 0:53, and it's 'brilliant!'.......or rather, should I say 'awesome!' or 'amazing!'.
Interestingly, she says she loved the film Clueless as a kid. Who could have thought that would be an inspiration...
Yes, looking at that same era and possible role models you'd have thought perhaps Susan Sarandon in her many great roles, or Jodie Foster..? Perhaps the ever fantastic Frances McDormand...
But no. Alicia Silverstone in 'Clueless' is what inspired her to be able to act as an American...
That would describe everyone playing in the same tv show as Charles Dance. ;)
He could be a great Bond, but I think he may lack a little sex appeal; he looks a tad doughy in the face.
