Which actor/actress has the worst Irish accent?

For future suggestions you need to back it up with youtube proof :D

Snatch

Brad Pitt-Class acting.

Tom Cruise-Far and Away the worst.
Other bad ones,any actor who played the Police Chief in any Batman film and John Wayne in The Quiet Man.

Julia Roberts (the worlds 2nd most overrated actress behind the reprehensible sandra Bullock) & the Tom & Nicole farce that was far & away

I thought Brad Pitts pikey in Snatch was pretty believable actually.

Cate Blanchett was very poor as veronica Guerin.
I'm sure that film had plenty of driving on the right-hand side of the road aswell.

Saw the trailer for that and you might be right,it was terrible.Stage Irish at its worst.

Surely it's people from Cork:p

The faux American accents os Colm Meany and Gabriel Byrne are as annoying to me

Do they ever put on an accent? Surely they've just picked up some American influence on their accents from spending so much time over there?

I can't honestly believe that they've genuinely picked it up as badly as they sound and also as quickly as they did.

Lads I've found a winner , Just listen to Gerard Butlers "attempts" on this trailer for the film of some novel Cecilia Ahern wrote

Atrocious

How about Sean Connery in 'Darby O'Gill'?

Long time lurker, first time poster :)

For me it has to be Tommy Lee Jones in Blown Away with Jeff Bridges. Dire

"Jooooseph Dawnellly"

Isn't Billy Connolly supposed to be Irish in 'The boondock saints'? Because if he is, then thats officially the worst.

The worst have been well covered here, But thought Gillian(X-Files)Anderson's Norn Iorn Accent in The Mighty Celt was the best I've heard

When I saw this thread title I was going to nominate that.

Anyone see LA Confidential last night?

James Cromwell as Captain Dudley SMith had a terrible Irish accent. He called everyone boyo or lad and at point says "I wouldn't want to be Exley for all the whiskey in Ireland".
