British People/Characters on non British TV

[ilikeitlikethat]

British People on TV... You might be wondering 'Well what the hell has this got to do with anything?'
and, well, you'd be right; if you said 'nothing at all.'


But I'm British and, when I hear a British accent in something I'm watching, I'm all like 'yay!'

So, British People/Chacratcers on TV.

From Star Trek Deep Space 9, Dr. Bashir

This guy reminds me of me... but then so does Spike and Giles from Buffy and, Daphne from Fraiser. - Because of the Britishness you see.

If you didn't know.. the actor who played Spike is a Chicago native. He must have done a good job at the accent for you not to have him on your shit list.

I knew he was American... That's all I knew.

Spike, the character, still reminds me of me, though.

They're often evil. Which I find hilarious. (Like Scar in The Lion King, who has a gorgeous British accent while all his relatives have all-American accents.)

I love British accents, especially that which I refer to as "posh-but-not-SUPER-POSH".

Jolly good time, guv'nor! Bloody cheerio, innit? Blimey!

Blimey, I'm a limey I'm not Amish, I'm English. Pip pip cheerios and what not, wanna start a riot? I kid, I kid; Because, there's a puppet, jolly well, right on my hand... How's your belly full of spots? ... And the sad thing is, I know a place called My Old China.

They're often evil. Which I find hilarious. (Like Scar in The Lion King, who has a gorgeous British accent while all his relatives have all-American accents.)

He's voiced by Jeremy Irons, who is awesome.

There's Lane Pryce on Mad Men

though, um, that British stiffness of upper lip recently started applying to his whole body, so I guess the British is pretty gone from that one now

Also, Game of Thrones is technically an American show that takes place in a fictional world, but pretty much everyone has a British accent.

And we could start a whole new thread about British actors taking on American accents.

Tori from 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd Disney Channel retro crush.

She was British, proud and played the electric guitar too... I was so crushing on her but then, damn.

Her guitar was even sexy, they gave her a Gibson Les Paul and everything, Tori (that character) was freaking hot.
