And I think he's doing great with the terms. He always, even in ML, pronounces some words slowly. I think that's just his version of American. And the longer the word, the more slowly but surely he sometimes went, even as Mick. Think egalitarian.

Apparently Aussies speak very fast - or so I've been told by Americans. (My accent is pretty thick.) It's very likely that Alex was told - more than once - to slow down when he first arrived in the States.

To Aussie ears, Americans do speak slowly.

P.S. during the L.A. Con I had the opportunity to speak to a few folks over the phone, and if memory serves, Greenleaf was one of the people who asked me to slow down 'cause she couldn't understand my accent...

Umm, Phoenix, if ever we speak in person...you're going to find that if you think Americans generally speak slowly, the Texas drawl may drive you up a wall. We're known for speaking even more slowly than the average American!

Awwwww, Lucky, I love Americans. The Great Aussie Accent drives me up the wall, actually. Hence I prefer our sweet Alex playing a Yank.

So Alex speaks slowly cause that's what we sound like to him...
And Phee speaks fast...
And Lucky speaks slowly... but surely no doubt.

I'm just glad that I understand everybody in writing. And you would no doubt cringe at my German accent.

I would love to hear EVERYONE'S accent! French, German, Australian, Brazilian, etc!

I'm one of those slow-talkin' Texans along with Lucky and AggieVamp. How y'all doin'?

I have noticed Alex's Aussie a bit more on Three Rivers than I did on ML. But he's AMAZING with the American accent compared to Simon Baker on The Mentalist. He's adorable and everything, but man, is his accent all over the place.

I wouldn't, francis - I've listened to Dutch accents since I was born, so I'm bettin yours wouldn't be THAT much different.

I know I'm not part of the regular crowd here, but I would like to say that I think there is something amazing about the Europeans and others on this site from foreign countries. Why? You speak more than one language like it was a natural thing. I admire that. I studied Spanish for 12 years and it was one of my college majors. I still found it difficult even though I loved it. And we can add my native New Orleans accent to the mix. Haven't lived there for years, but I guess you never really shake that. So hats off to all of you English speaking ladies out there in foreign lands.
