You should see Friday Night Lights he's brilliant in that.

true, he needs to work on his accent. But he was good in FNL.

uh-hmmm.

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.

People have been saying the same thing about Sissy Spacek and Holly Hunter for years, both of which are still going strong with decades of work, dozens of film and respectfully a best actress Oscar to both their credits.

Won't progress huh? Maybe not, since he doesn't want to change his accent, but he's still employed, still getting jobs!

Thank you Larpine!!!

It's hard to understand why people complain about actors keeping thier accents, but only when they are southern.

Lots of actors have kept their accents, ESPECIALLY British speaking actors, and never thought of trying to lessen the affects of it. So big whoop?!?

OP: What we've seen are a long list of great movies he's played in, and continues to play in. Just because you don't particularly care for his acting, doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.

And BY THE WAY, I happen to be from the same town he's from in Alabama and I can assure you that we, with our "Dumb-As-Sh!t" accents, are far more intelligent than you think you are. Your use of words and punctuation make you seem very, um, useful, genius. ;)
