I totally disagree, I think his American accent stinks.
I always believed Trevor Goddard was really Australian.
Not to be argumentative but how can I trust you with an american accent.. English isn't your first language right?
shareLol, you don't think I can hear the difference? I probably hear more people speak English than Dutch on any given day. He does that annoying nasal and exaggerated American R thing that a lot of British actors tend to do.
shareI hope that didn't come off in a bad way. I think its really cool that we have so many people here who speak different languages.

I had NO idea that Rachel Griffiths on Six Feet Under was Australian. No idea whatsoever. Her American accent was spot-on-perfect.
shareTwo come to mind right away, though I don't know if their affected accents are authentic; but I was thoroughly convinced they were British.
Daniel Davis - Best known as Niles on The Nanny (which I didn't watch), his performance as Professor Moriarty on Star Trek: The Next Generation absolutely made me think he was a Brit. He was born and raised in Arkansas.
Jonathan Harris - As Dr. Smith on Lost in Space. It was only a few years ago that I found out he was born and raised in The Bronx, NYC. I was flabbergasted, I never questioned that he was a Brit.
Ones that surprised me... Damien Lewis from Billions and Homeland. Eddie Marsan (Terry) and Paula Malcomson (wife) in Ray Donovan.

Jimmy O. Yang in Silicon Valley. He grew up in Hong-Kong, so he can actually speak chinese, but when he speaks in english, he has a perfect american accent now irl. But on the show it's hilarious.
