So, The Legend of Bagger Vance is on TV and I'm marveling at Matt Damon's terrible Southern accent. Do actors really think that people sound like that in the South? I'm suddenly reminded of all the other horribly fake "Atlanta by way of Hollywood" accents of recent years. Here are my picks:
Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear
Harvey Keitel in Thelma and Louise
Jude Law in Cold Mountain
Christian Bale in Public Enemies
Tom Hanks in Ladykillers
George Clooney in O Brother Where art Thou
Val Kilmer in Tombstone
Nicolas Cage in Con Air
Kevin Spacey in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Dan Akroyd in Driving Miss Daisy
Did I miss any?
