[ketita]

Out of curiosity, is his accent considered good? (the British one, I mean.) I don't have the best ear for that stuff, so I'm always impressed by people who learn an accent well.

[kaijinscendre]

According to this list, yes. http://www.thetoptens.com/english-accent-american-actor/

There were a couple of "OH GOD NO" moments but for the most part he sounded like he came from some where near where I live.

[fingalsanteater]

You could argue that since he's like over 100 years old and lived around the world, his accent wouldn't be exactly as it was originally.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Considering the flashback episode that showed he was dorky upperclass guy before he was turned, with a classy RP accent, and his accent in most of the show was far more cockney, then yes, his accent was definitely not what it was originally.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, well that is I get it. It was more a opinion, like how he said lilac, made me cringe.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh God yes that. It's not the greatest accent but I don't mind it but the lilac thing just throws me out completely

[kamino_neko]

Most people say so. There'll be a few dissenters who say it's terrible, but for the most part, he's agreed to be pretty solid.

(Bit of trivia - Tony Head also wasn't using his natural accent in the show, and it was his real accent that Spike's was based on.)

[(Anonymous)]

I like you.

Sometimes while filming buffy whenyou saw Tony Head on tv his English accent was cringe worthy because he'd be trying to hard too sound like himself.

[nightscale]

As a British person, yes. I thought he actually was British too for a long time while watching Buffy because his accent is so convincing.

[(Anonymous)]

As another British person, it was obviously put on. So there we go.

[(Anonymous)]

Speaking as a North American, though? His imitation of a Brit doing a bad imitation of an American accent ("I'm just an old pal of Xander's here") was SPOT ON.

[(Anonymous)]

In his first season it could be shaky at times but was generally pretty good, and he pretty much perfected it throughout the course of the role

[(Anonymous)]

Not bad, but slips quite a bit. Plus the scriptwriters don't get British slang right.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's OK, in Torchwood he has an odd accent, it sounds American but at times you wonder if he's trying to sound British, some odd pronunciations.
