Which actor/actress has the worst Irish accent?

Kevin Spacey and Julia Robeerts Irish brogues do leave a lot to be desired.

However ín my opinion the King of crappy Irish accents can be no other than Richard Gere in the Jackal. A tough IRA assassin that sounds like a leprechaun.

Cringeworthy stuff.

Anyone else?

Tom & Nicole in 'Far And Away' :D

Julia Roberts in Michael Collins.

And whoever played the Bird in the Field.

I forgot them. Nicole got pass marks imo. Toms accent however was dreadful.

Colin Farrell.

"Jooooooseph Dawnelly" in Far and Away.

Gere is bad but he's not in the same league as Spacey's in Ordinary Decent Criminal.

Brad Pitt in that Guy Ritchie film, 'Snatch' I think it was... Tom Cruises one in Far and Away. 'Jayz Shannon you're a corker'

No way. Brad Pitts traveler accent in Snatch was quality.

As they go, I thought that wasn't bad either.

I haven't seen Tom Cruise's effort, but anyone who has seems to rate it among the very worst.

Orlando Bloom in Ned kelly. Another poor poor show.

hell yeah! was gonna agree with Tom and Nicole but this one is the true champion! I love Spacey but this was shocking bad. I thought Brad Pitts performance in Snatch was brilliant from his accent to his first scene - taking a dump behind a torched out car!! Classic!! :D :D

Not actors as such, but no doubt the WORST ever.

Is that for real? I remember watching the cartoon when I was young but I don't ever remember it being that heavy.

Very political.
Do you not remember Captain Planets eco-message at the end of each episode?

From an actual irishman

Donald Sutherland in "The Eagle Has Landed".When I first saw it,I thought he was supposed to be Norwegian.
