Bill's accent


Was it just me or did it bother anybody that the actor who played Bill had an obvious British accent when he's suppose to be from Kentucky. Definite miscast. I mean the guy is a good actor but the accent was really visible.

I just noticed it changed a lot.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!!

The actor who played Lee Harvey Oswald is Australian and his accent was very distracting throughout the series, more so than Bill's.

I also couldn't figure out why some of the characters were using Southern accents rather than Texan ones.



And all the pieces matter (The Wire)

Yup, I know the actor who played Oswald is Australian, but his accent was almost like a European speaking English. Oswald was born in Louisiana! While Bill was a pretty dumb character the actor who played him was pretty good.
