    Ok, remember is the wrong word.

    I'm not saying people won't have seen them but if you ask most of the current cinema going generation who their preferred Bond is you are unlikely to hear them say Roger Moore. It's like everyone has 'their' Dr Who.

      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          When Laurie auditioned for House they apparently thought he was American. For a non-American to play American on an American show broadcast to American audiences, it probably has to be good.

            Andrew Lincoln on The Walking Dead sounds a little bit off to me, but I didn't realise for ages that Idris Elba was English after watching The Wire.

                  He sounds off to me but mainly because I expect his normal voice!

                  I think also that may be the regional accent he is doing - so much American TV is Californian. Can't remember, but isn't it set in the mid-west or the south or somewhere a bit 'yokel'?

                    Tom Hanks is Asian
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
