The worst 'Irish' accent in a film.

Not so much in a film, but David Boreanaz who played Angel in Buffy.

The only good thing is that he was honest enough to admit it was complete shíte.

Useless info:
David Boreanaz was married to an Irish woman for a few years. She was from Dublin and was a social worker.

In fairness, he was trying to sound like a traveller. Thought he did a pretty daycent job of it too.

We'll forgive Julia, she can get away with it.
I thought Aidan Quinn (as Collins' mate Harry Boland) was a lot worse.

Without a doubt it is Pearse Brosnin in any movie that he has played an Irish character.

He get's a free pass in my book due to the cinematic masterpiece of Taffin.

Ah, silly me .... the film of course is called 'PS I Love You'. I seriously cringe each time it's shown.

All of the above - especially Gerard Butler - or maybe that was because the film was so unbelievably crap that it was even more annoying.

The Irish accent must be v. difficult to do as you rarely see it done well. I thought that Richard Coyle in Grabbers did a great job of it though.

Sean Bean in The Field. "What age was Seamie when he died?" was probably his longest line, but he couldn't escape his Sheffield tones :pac:

Also, not a film, but the Irish accents when one of the characters in Heroes ended up in "Cork" (season 2 I think it was?). Oh dear

daveyboy_1ie

Jon Voight in 'The General'. Just no.

Actually seeing an Irishman do a posh English accent was even funnier (Colm Meaney cameo as a pilot in Die Hard 2). Terrible stuff.

The father of the big girl in Shallow Hal. Not good at all.
