after taking a break from watching Heroes I went back to catch up on the rest of last season. I'd completely forgotten about Robert Knepper's terrible Irish accent. Almost no actor can put on an Irish accent - they almost get it, but never get past the point where it's makes you cringe.
Anyway, what I was wondering was if anyone else thinks that their own accent gets consistently mangled in movies/tv shows?
and in terms of other languages, does it happen there too? for example, someone from Quebec trying to speak French like a Parisian?
