    Julian McMahon in NipTuck is Australian, not American. There are a few other Australia actors using US accents to work with as well.

    Half the brits on Buffy (Drucilla and many of the other vamps). Deanna Troy on ST:TNG was a brit doing a neutral, non-accent. The butler on the Nanny is actually not British but does a wonderful Brit accent.

    Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard. They both have British accents, and for the Fox show "The Riches" Minnie sounds kinda southern and Eddie just sounds like a regualar American guy. However, on last night's episode they brought back their original accents to pretend to be two attorneys. I guess British attorneys sound more intelligent.

    The guy who plays Daphne's brother on "Frasier" its supposed to be a Manchester accent, but its terrible and it sound cockney.... the two accents are utterly different.

    Also the guy who played Daphne's ex-boyfriend in "Frasier" excruciating to the ears.

    I think they both went to the "Dick Van Dyke School of Unconvincing Accents"

    Melanie Lynskey, Rose on Two & a Half Men, and also now in the film The Informant, is a Down Underer (New Zealand I think?)--& you'd never know.
    The guy who plays the brother on New Adventures of Old Christine, Hamish Linklater I think, is a Scot, and his American accent is flawless.
