Not only did Cate nail Veronica Guerin, but that was a more difficult Irish accent than the more common one.

Not only can Meryl sing, act and dance, but she can also pull over many convincing accents. She is a true queen! 😍👑

Sorry but as a Australian that accent was appalling.

James McAvoy is such an accent chameleon, his talent clearly has no bounds. I thought that he was English for years, so imagine my surprise when I heard him speaking with his natural Scottish voice. He has yet to play a Scottish character on screen. 😁

What I love about Meryl Steep is that she really seems to relish acting in tough roles. I always get the feeling that getting her teeth into a project is a blast for her, like she can't wait to surprise people with her completely different sound and looks!

OMG! I was LITERALLY holding my breath when you were winding down to the top 2 people! Wow! Thank you sooooooooooooo INCREDIBLY much for recognizing Miss Streep as the one who holds the most accents in her arsenal. It’s about time she won for something!

Honourable mention to Val Kilmer in The Saint. He pulled of South African and Australian - arguably two of the hardest accents to get right.

This is the second Actors and their Accents video in the past few months where you've ignored just how brilliant Kate Winslet is with foreign accents. A German accent in her Oscar-winning performance for "The Reader;" a Polish accent for her Oscar-nominated performance for "Steve Jobs;" and great American accents for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and a difficult Philadelphia-specific accent for "Mare of Easttown."

And an Australian accent in The Dressmaker

Jodie Comer, Killing Eve, is incredible at accents.

Christian Bale, one of my most favorite film actors of all time, and he did great job on his American accent in all 8+ Hollywood movies.

Everyone on the list is incredible, but can we get an honorable mention for James Marsters. For 7 years his British accent was so good many Brits thought he was one of them. And he did a good chunk of it in a vampire prosthetic and mouthpiece!

Gary Oldman, ladies and gentlemen! *clapping* 😊

British film actor Tom Holland can do an American accent for 10 minutes at a time and he did a very good job.

Yeah, I’ve had to ask myself “Is Tom Holland American or British?

Are you telling me that Hugh Laurie's British accent in his small role in Friends was his actual one? And that his American accent as a protagonist in the 8 whole seasons of House M.D. was fake? I am stunned.

Also, check out "A Bit of Fry and Laurie". He had a variety show MANY years ago with Stephen Fry.

Anybody remember Delroy Lindo? He costarred in a few Spike Lee films and he played one of two detectives chasing Nicolas Cage's character in Gone In In 60 Seconds. He's a British born.

Tom Hiddleston is AMAZING at doing different accents.

Kate Winslet is one of the very few who can convincingly pull off not only and Aussie accent, but a Kiwi accent. 2 of the 3 hardest accents to perfect.

David Tennant's role in the Harry Potter movies actually predates "Doctor Who" (barely). Hercule Poirot is Belgian, not French. And of course Meryl Streep HAD to be number one!

Meryl Streep is the true queen of Hollywood. She can do it all and plus she is my favourite Hollywood Actress of modern era.

Christoph Waltz is a terrific film actor and won 2 Oscars in the past.

Margot Robbie, the famous film actress from Australia did a great job on these films, including ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and ‘The Suicide Squad’ as the DCEU Harley Quinn version.

This is fascinating to watch. We look forward to seeing more videos like this.

Regular supporting actor Tom Wilkinson, who's had small roles in Mission Impossible 4 and Batman Begins, is a British actor who does a real good US accent

Amazing actors and actresses who speak so well in other dialects. Thanks.

Jodie Comer from Killing Eve should have been mentioned in this. She's amazing at doing different accents

Three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis indeed.

South African Actor Sharlto Copley is also really quite great with his American accents, as if you only seen his American films you would never know he was actually from South Africa.

I know. I learned about Gillian after I watched Red Eye. The producers were concerned about his accent. He assured them that his American accent would be right when he showed up to film

3:10 The movie being discussed in that scene, "The Wrecking Crew," has a DC connection of its own: it was adapted from a book whose publisher is now part of DC itself, a publisher called Fawcett. Fawcett Publications gave DC the character of Captain Marvel, who DC renamed as SHAZAM!

I'm gobsmacked that you actually had Charlize Theron in one of your clips (with Idris on Prometheus) but she somehow didn't make your list. The woman didn't even speak English until she moved to the US at the age of 19.
