Sean Connery Has The 'Worst Movie Accent'

[Brian Damage]

Sean Connery's Irish-American accent in 1987 film The Untouchables has been voted the worst of all time in a new poll.

The former James Bond star played a cop in the hit movie and received an Academy Award for his turn - despite failing to lose his native Scottish dialect.

Connery's role saw off competition from Kevin Costner's portrayal of the English folk hero in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, with his American accent landing him second place in the survey by a U.S. ticket agency.

In third was Tom Cruise who put on an Irish lilt for his part in 1992's Far and Away.

I think Gerard Butler will be on this list very soon.

Have you listened to him do an "American" accent?

Awful!

I'm bumping this thread back up because right now AMC is showing the thriller Blown Away starring Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones.

Both actors are trying to do some sort of Irish brogue, and both are failing miserably.

Bridges is the worst, because he's trying to do combine a Boston accent with the terrible Irish brogue.

Awful.

:lol:

DAMN YOU AND YOUR RANKINGS! (I know, it came from "Celebrity Jeopardy").
