+Minkki82, Americans don't have accents. It's funny because certain actors who come over to the UK who play the part of American characters, like the new Spiderman, can lose their accent, I don't know how they lose it, because their definitely not impersonating the American accent because there isn't one, Americans are how people without accents sound, and it's impossible to impersonate a none-accent.

+raleighman3000, It's ok, I don't actually think that way, I'm mocking the way certain Americans think. The ironic thing about the American accent is this, depending on which part of America your in, the people there will talk a certain way i.e. have an accent, but most Americans insist that they don't have one.

The Midwest accent is considered to to be the standard accent here in the states. I grew up in California but my dad is from the Midwest as are a lot of transplants to this state. I've never been told I have an accent but if you're bordering Canada, live in the Northeast or South then we say you have an accent.

Excellent clip! It's obvious he was filming Mad Max 2 at this time due to the streak in his hair.

I was just debating this with someone who didn't think he was from OZ or ever had an accent. I swore he always had one and just watched a recent interview where he looks like santa and sounds American tho he is he lived in OZ most his life like Gillian Anderson and England and she still has an accent. I always thought he played it up... And edited to add he is American but lived in OZ a long time.

He clearly picked up this accent from living there. The Australian accent was natural to him at that point, not something he was putting on for the cameras. If you don't believe me, watch the first Lethal Weapon film where he's trying (without total success) to hide his Aussie accent.

He has said it was acted, but it wasn't. If you watch press interviews around the time of 'Man Without a Face', you can hear his accent was slipping between, like half-half American and Australian. Around 1998 or so is when he began losing his Australian accent.
