For example, Stephanie Beatriz (https://www.nickiswift.com/445650/the-untold-truth-of-stephanie-beatriz/). Compare the way that she speaks as Rosa Diaz (https://brooklyn99.fandom.com/wiki/Rosa_Diaz) on Brooklyn 99:

Jon Gammon (Darren) from the middle used a different voice on the show compared to how he sounds in real life.

I wouldn't have known Margot Robbie, Rose Byrne and Isla Fisher are from Australia. Their American accents are very good. Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things also has a very good American accent.

Speaking of camouflaging accents how about Mark Addy on "Still Standing "? He's British

Yes. He's a good example. Idris Elba is another British actor with a good American accent.

Lisa Whelchel hid her Texan accent pretty well on The Facts of Life.

Olivia d'Abo

Ken Maynard as Festus on GUNSMOKE...

Ken Maynard ?. I know a Ken Curtis played Festus. Is Maynard is actual given last name.??/ As for accents, at the time Titanic came out I didn't know Kate Winslet was British and she sounded as American as I.

You're correct, it's Ken Curtis.
I had a brain fart... Ken Maynard is another old western actor...

Not an actor but on YouTube I heard a recording of the voice of Teddy Roosevelt.

I expected a Ron Swanson kind of voice and ended up with a high pitched aristocratic voice.

Daniel Ezra - I'm shocked to learn that he's actually (https://www.reddit.com/r/AllAmericanTV/comments/frn57e/didnt_know_spencer_was_british_irl/) British (https://www.reddit.com/r/AllAmericanTV/comments/m1n7d6/daniel_ezra_appreciation_postphenomenal_actor/) because his American voice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAhdAEqBuQQ&pp=ygUSZGFuaWVsIGV6cmEgYWNjZW50) on (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZD47Gyj8FY&pp=ygUSZGFuaWVsIGV6cmEgYWNjZW50) All-American (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uFz4yyhG7w) is really convincing (https://www.reddit.com/r/flicks/comments/xsuddh/nonnative_english_speaking_actorsactresses_that/).

I suppose one example of the "voice doesn't fit (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VocalDissonance) the person's physical appearance" for me, is Liv Tyler (https://youtu.be/hqKXwCKxjTo). If you ever (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KNXfypjkHs) hear Liv speak (https://www.facebook.com/fanpagedacelalima/videos/223899358257738/), she has a very soft, feminine, breathless, gentle, almost peaceful-type of voice. But on the same token, Liv is also a really tall, almost "big-boned" woman, so at first glance, it's a bit understandable to just assume that she should sound decidedly more "authoritative" and forceful. I would also naturally figure that a woman with such a soft speaking voice like Liv's would have a slight (https://www.facebook.com/Melissa.rauchTBBT/photos/a.346559532119076/995439100564446/?type=3) and petite (https://www.nickiswift.com/966971/what-you-dont-know-about-melissa-rauch/) frame (a la somebody like Melissa Rauch).

Wow, these actors sound NOTHING like their TV characters IRL. For this list, we’ll be looking at performers who drastically changed their voice and/or accent for a role on the small screen. Our countdown includes Catherine O'Hara, Hugh Laurie, Pedro Pascal, and more! Which actor’s real voice shocked YOU the most?

Ron Palillo sounded a lot more nasal as Horshack.

Audiences may think they really know an actor, but they are likely much different in real life, starting with something as simple as their voice.

One name that hasn't been mentioned is Jaleel White. When he is Stefan Urquelle, his voice sounds more natural than Steve Urkel.

Andy Kaufman is another example, all the time I thought that was his real voice as Latka Gravas from Taxi.

David Ogden Stiers in a 1988 (https://themashhistorian.com/2022/04/11/press-pass-7/) IBM (https://www.avclub.com/the-cast-of-m-a-s-h-reunited-in-the-late-80s-to-shill-1798254330) commercial (https://metv.com/stories/these-long-forgotten-commercials-show-us-what-m-a-s-h-would-have-been-like-as-an-workplace-sitcom) with his old M*A*S*H (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-04-06-fi-209-story.html) co-star Alan Alda:

As others have said in the comments for the video, it's a bit surreal to hear (https://www.reddit.com/r/mash/comments/u4tt3e/for_anyone_who_may_have_never_heard_david_ogden/) David Ogden Stiers speak (https://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/720601935/m/8080083784) without his uppity Boston accent (https://www.reddit.com/r/mash/comments/docgao/winchesters_style_of_speaking/) that he used on M*A*S*H.

Everyone remembers the specific timbre of Janice's voice on "Friends." Here's how actor Maggie Wheeler sounds in real life and what she says about the voice.

Speaking of camouflaging accents how about Mark Addy on "Still Standing "? He's British

That reminds me, there was a recent (https://www.reddit.com/r/Magnum_PI/comments/12ou7q7/episode_discussion_april_16_2023out_of_sight_out/) episode (https://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2023/magnum-p-i-recap-04-16-23-season-5-episode-9-out-of-sight-out-of-mind/#google_vignette) of the reboot of Magnum, P.I., where Miss Higgins (https://magnumpi.fandom.com/wiki/Juliet_Higgins) (played by Perdita Weeks) puts on an American accent while working undercover at a psychiatric hospital. However, one of the patients can immediately tell that she's a British person who's trying to affect an American accent because she pronounces her words with "Hard Rs" like Hugh Laurie on the show House.

don't forget Mr Bentley whos not even English from the Jeffersons

The Fonz Henry Winkler from Happy days

Redd Foxx Fred g Sanford from Sanford and Son

Two American actors who played British men on TV. The first is John Hillerman who played Jonathan Higgins on the original Magnum P.I. Although I will say I don't think his British accent was all that good, but still he sounded different enough on Magnum from his real life voice.

Daniel Davis who played Niles on The Nanny. Now I think his English accent was more authentic sounding and I was quite surprised when I learned he was American and not British. If I remember he also spoke with a British accent when he played a hologram version of Professor Moriarty in two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (this was before he starred on The Nanny).

Donna Douglas. Her voice was different on The Beverly Hillbillies - country girl - as compared with her other work, like the film Frankie and Johnny (1966), deeper or without a strong southern accent.
