- I care. If an ACTOR is going to assume the role of an Englishman, then he
- should ACT like one. I don't feel it's a lot to ask for. Considering
- they're raking in millions for the role, they should take the time to learn
- a proper accent. It's because of things like that people don't consider
- acting to be work. I know that a lot of work and talent does go into it,
- but a simple accent shouldn't be too hard to include.
