He does a great Southern accent in The Walking Dead and he was great in English television before this so who cares if you don't agree.
He has even been acclaimed for doing theater work.

shareI love Andrew, I think he's great too. He may never win an Oscar or anything, but I don't think that matters to him anyway. Andrew has had great moments on The Walking Dead, and he really carries the show. Andrew, Melissa McBride and Danai Gurira are the best actors on the show in my opinion.
Andrew is also great in the show Afterlife, I loved that series. It would be great to see Andrew do a comedy soon, he is so funny! Very funny on the show Teachers.
I love Andrew to. I think maybe one day he could maybe be nominated for an oscar or something if the right movie role came along. Because nowadays you see tv stars being nominated all the time.
shareTROLLS arent people
shareI looked for Teachers and cant find it anywhere. Netflix, no. Nothing.
shareLook for teachers on youtube. first two seasons are up.
shareI REALLY enjoy his acting; he and Laurie Holden were what originally attracted me to TWD, and I've been increasingly impressed by his character work with each passing season.
BUT, as someone who lived in the South for 30 years, I sometimes find his 'Southern' accent distracting. Given, it's one of the better ones that I've heard, and it's WONDERFUL for an English actor. But it sounds as if his dialect coach used a stereotypical mishmash of US-Southern regional accents. If you're familiar with the southern US, you'll know that there is no such thing as a generic 'Southern' accent. Each region of the South has its own accent; the accent in western Mississippi is TOTALLY different to that of northeast Tennessee, for example. Anyway, l hear a little Carolina Lowlands and Missisippi thrown into his version of a Georgia accent.
It doesn't bug me enough to stop watching. And there are American actors out there who do a FAR WORSE version of a 'Southern' accent.
This ^ the people complaining about his accent is because they know he is a brit and it makes their ass itch, if they didn't know they wouldn't say sh!t, I've seen tons of people being shocked after finding out his accent is fake, so that means he's pretty good.
