Which British actors have the best American accents?

Buzzsugar is talking about which British actors have the best American accents. Not surprisingly, Hugh Laurie is at the top of their list, and Anna Friel from Pushing Daisies is #2. There are quite a few other fandom favorites, too, including Jamie Bamber, whose teeny tiny towel American accent impresses me on a weekly basis. There's also Lena Headly from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, who must be good, because I didn't realize she wasn't American, and the late, lamented Jericho's Lennie James.

Who else has a great American accent?

(Please do ignore the fact that I completely missed the "TV" part of the question and posted a comment about Ewan McGregor. *is goober*)

New Sera Gamble interview (some season 4 spoilers)

New Sera Gamble interview (some mild season 4 spoilers -- references the same ones we had from Kripke recently)

I could point out a lot of things I'd fix in my own episodes, but that's true every season. I think when you add it all up, it was a fun, creative year. We ruined Christmas, and children, and fairy tales, and rabbit's feet, and melon ballers; I consider that time well spent. And I'm glad we got to send Dean to hell. Anything less would have been lame*.

*I completely agree.

Spoiler-free version of Sera Gamble interview (no spoilers for season 4)

Since there were just a few spoilers, I've redacted those; the following version is certified season 4 spoiler-free. :)

This is why I love Supernatural. There’s so much more to this show than the entertaining and thrilling episodes we get each week. There are people behind the scenes that are never too busy to take time to share the love of their work with nosy interviewers like me. I was very fortunate recently to touch base with Sera Gamble, senior writer and producer for Supernatural, who kindly answered via email my prodding questions about the show and even humored my strange curiosity about melon ballers to the eye socket (all done in fun).

Sera Gamble has been with the show since the beginning and has written some incredible episodes, including landmark ones like “Faith”, “Heart”, “All Hell Breaks Loose Part 1”, and “Jus In Bello”, and two of my personal favorites, “Houses Of The Holy” and “Fresh Blood”. For season three, she took on the role of producer and is again playing an integral role in mapping out the plots for the coming season. In this interview she talks about preparing for season four, her feelings about season three, what’s involved in the writing process in general, and what incredible things Jared and Jensen do with a script, even ones that involve extreme torture.

The CW promotes Supernatural. DURING GOSSIP GIRL.

Holy crap, the CW just ran a Supernatural promo during Gossip Girl -- no, I'm not watching it. It, uh...just happened to be on. While I happened to be looking at the screen. For the past 45 minutes. THE POINT BEING holy crap, the CW acknowledges Supernatural's existance. DURING GOSSIP GIRL.

Anyone seen the weather report in hell?
