I really don't get Hollywood's casting brain. Why is it no matter where in Europe the movie takes place, if it is a historical movie they always cast British, Irish, Kiwi and Aussie actors for the roles? (Very, very rarely will they cast an American or a Canadian.) Have a movie taking place in ancient Rome? Cast an all Aussie, an Kiwi, all English cast. Does it take place in Middle Ages Romania? Hire a Welsh.

Strange enough, when it comes to many Hollywood movies where the story is historical UK, they never cast the right ethnicity there either. Tony Blair? Hire a Welsh actor. Thatcher? Try American! William Wallace? Aussie-American!

It doesn't make any sense...

As far as historical Romans=English accent dramas go, I believe it's because to American audiences, the English accent is our best audible cue for "aristocracy" or "upper class." It sounds arch, sophisticated, pleasantly antiquated, and brings to mind an ~imperial lifestyle.

It's because they usually go for either a posh British accent or a generic European accent and most American actors don't do either one very well. Aussies and Kiwis are used to it because they spend more time working in the UK.
