Character Error


Tried to submit this item through regular channels but IMDb is NOT recognizing it so here it goes:

While Vaughn Taylor, the actor who plays Hope Lange's character's father, is walking around his Brooklyn neighborhood showing Noah Ackerman the Plowman family's long connection to the area, Mr Plowman is speaking in what sounds to my ear as a southern accent. If his roots go very far back in Brooklyn shouldn't he sound more like a Brooklynite or a New Yorker, at the very least.

reply

He is not showing Noah around Brooklyn, he's showing him around the Vermont town where Hope was raised.

I think he has more of a stuffy Yankee sound than a southern accent, but if you think he sounds southern than you still might think he sounds odd in the scene.

reply

He was speaking in a classic New England accent ... nothing Southern about it
