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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Orlando Bloom in Ned kelly. Another poor poor show.
He even looked the part. Great performance and his accent was superb.Quote:

I agree. One of the best accents in movie history. :DQuote:

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.
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.
You have clearly never visited Belfast:DQuote:

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.
Nooo.Quote:

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?Quote:

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
Is that a real episode or a makey up one?Quote:

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".
