      In my own opinion no such thing as a British accent. There is a distinction between the accents of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

      It was the same when i heard jesse speak for the first time in his aussie accent. I was like holy shit. But then again, the first time I actually saw him was when he played chase on house. So it wasn’t too much a shocker.

      His accent almost sounds strange. I've been watching Chicago Fire for many seasons. And I just decided to Google the actors and I clicked on his and it said he was from England. I was stunned. I just found this out about 5 minutes ago lol.

      pete peeters omg I just found out 2 minutes ago and I’ve been watching it since it came out. Another video of him and Jesse popped up and I had never seen him interviewed and I had to pause and rewind because I was soooo blown away! I had to google more interviews of him. He does his American accent so well. I didn’t

    • @youreatoilet
      @youreatoilet Місяць тому

      I wouldn't say better than Americans but they're certainly better than Americans trying to do British / Aussies accents. I think it's largely down to how most British and Australians see and hear American TV and music everyday, they're more exposed to American accents than the other way round. Most Americans only see/hear either the stereotypical extremely posh old fashioned British accents aka like the queen / royal family, the James Bond villain-esque accent or it's the medieval peasant accent lol, all of which are quite rare in modern Britain. I'm British myself so can't speak on behalf of the Aussies but I imagine it's a similar thing

    🇬🇧 I love this guy even more now that I’ve just found out, not only is he from my home country, he’s a fan of Liverpool Football Club (My Home City btw) (LFC YNWA ⚽️) You’ll Never Walk Alone!) too… all this time I thought he was American from the show because he really nails that accent and his character Wallace Boden who I also love! God Bless him!

    After hearing Chief Bowden I can't put that voice to him😁 I thought that was his voice

    This is the first interview I’ve ever seen with this actor, what in the world this is how he really talks?! That’s crazy and amazing how you can’t even tell in the show.

    OMG! I just learned today that Eamonn is English. Stunned by this accent. What a great actor.

    His British accent isn't as much of a shock as the pitch is.

    This is why they use more British actors then real Americans. Directors say that the British are more skilled then most American actors and they can use a good American accent
