What on earth were the producers thinking putting an American in a role as a British soldier. He clearly has nothing but an American accent. I usually love his acting especially in "The Last King of Scotland", but this was not really good was it.
Oh and Captain_Augustus_McCrae shut up you wanka
For me the worst aspect about the casting was that Forest looked very out of shape and it was really hard for him to be believable as a soldier
shareI'm from Totenham and I've never heard that accent but then again he did say he was born (can't quite remember where) abroad so that could account for it.
shareMaybe they cast FW in order to secure US financing. I thought his accent was quite good and he was believable as a soldier.
Yeah, I thought it was a little odd. The accent seemed spasmodically decent, but I found it hard to accept that he was playing a British soldier. Maybe that's just in retrospect after seeing quite a few films in which he plays an American, though.
shareWell... I just didn't buy Dil so obsessed w/ an overwt., one eyed, black American.
shareI found his 'accent' distracting.
At one point it went from chimney sweep Cockney to Australian, South African and then back again. In one bloody scene!
I've also never seen a squaddie with moobs.
