| 89 | <p>It just occurred to me that US and UK folks probably can't tell when an Irish actor is doing an American or British accent. Almost always, that <em>definitely</em> doesn't work the other way. If you want an Irish accent in your production, the safest choice will always be an Irish actor. There are plenty to about!</p> |

| 112 | Get them and try them for crimes against the Irish accent. Except maybe Brad Pitt. Nobody seems to be able to make up their mind about his portrayal đŸ˜‚ |

| 130 | He did follow the golden rule of attempting an Irish accent: pick one regional accent rather than trying to do "Irish". The girl in AKOTSK was going all over the map in her attempt. |
