I was rewatching Bridgerton the other day, and I hadn’t previously realised that Nicola Caughlan uses an Irish accent when Pen is going to the printers and trying to hide. It got me thinking that there must have been other times this happened.
Of course, Tennant in Doctor Who’s Tooth and Claw is an obvious one. I was trying to explain this concept to my friend and was struggling. Specifically actors who use their own accent for a short time, not for an entire character/show/film etc.
I feel like Jodie Comer must have used her Liverpudlian accent in Killing Eve at some point, but I can’t think when?
2 obvious ones are McNulty (Dominic West) in the wire (not his accent, but a british one, and it’s horrifying), and Hugh Laurie in House who uses a British accent once, though again a different accent than his own.
