    Follwing on from the best/worst accent thread, It got me thinking, I haven't watched many films that have a non-Irish person playing the character of an Irish person and get the accent right!

    So is there any non-Irish actors out there that got an Irish accent down to a T.


    Paddy Considine does a decent middle class Dublin accent in - In America

    any others?

    Cate Blanchett did a pretty decent one in Veronica Guerin.

    Didn't Pierce Brosnan do a good one in an irish film?
    I remember Jon Voight doing a decent one in The General.
