Apparently in the interview, the whole accent thing in Mary Poppins came up. She said that the problem was that the voice coach supplied to him to train for the accent was irish!
I love watching American shows where they use an American actor to play an Englishman. It's always hilarious! And of course there's only 2 English accents. Cockney and Eton Toff!

There's one American film I remember where one of the characters has a really strong Manchester accent.
There's another one where a character is mute throughout the entire film, but in the last two minutes, he suddenly starts talking in a British accent, which was quite amusing.
They could be the same film, I can't quite remember.

Sounds like 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. Both those actors *are* actually British - Christopher Eccleston, and Vinnie Jones (though calling Vinnie Jones an actor is maybe stretching it a bit).

Yes, that's it thanks, can't believe it was ten years ago that came out - scary!
You know you are getting old, when something that happened ten years ago seems like it was just the other week.

That would certainly explain a lot!
