Hugh Laurie is god-like, and I'm warming up to James Lipton's perpetual asskissing. He has a sweet dark voice.

actually, it's surprisingly bad.
and unsurprisingly, very theatrical.

lipton's actually very good at the 'nuts & bolts' of acting. like, learning your fuckin lines every day while working on a soap opera. the essentials. which is why he's a good acting teacher.

accents generally aren't all that essential (though most can do a better british accent than that, lipton! ). plenty of big-name stars who've gone through entire careers, scarcely ever changing their accent. and if they do, they'll just bring in a dialogue coach for that one flick.

and then there's the meryl streeps and the hugh lauries, that can do dozens, so well that locals couldn't tell.

Indeed it is a god awful accent.

You just don't think about Laurie's but Liptons... oh my, oh my it's bad

On later listen I think Lipton's English accent sounds like Captain Picard. Engage, mr. Laurie, engage.

a lifetime of hearing/speaking english accents apparently isn't enough to qualify you to judge an english accent!
