Amazing . . . the landscape is littered with stealth Ozzies . . . something must be done ! ! !

It's true!

I know she's received a mention already, but Toni Collette was such a convincing American in Little Miss Sunshine & the United States of Tara:

So . . . when a stealth Ozzy comes back to visit, do they slip into the accent, and pretend they've never left?

They have to slip into whatever o/s accent is required, Setanta, to stay in work. We're but a small country. Only so much film work available here at any one time.

You have to admit, these folk are pretty good at stealthing!

... & they never lose their Oz accents. That's the real them!

too right . . .

You betcha!

Then there's this guy.

Peter Finch:

Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain:

John Wayne was from AUstralia.

Absolutely correct!

I forgot him.

Yes?

What does this face mean, please?

Thats irony guy. Ive noticed that we dont haqve an irony font so Ive taken the liberty to bring in an irony guy figure to make sure guys like set, who always runs "no stupidity allowed" threads wont start callin me names. That way set wont pop a blood pipe.

I think irony guy is Australian.

Yes indeed, we do need one of those!

I believe John Wayne was born & raised in Canberra & made a few commercials here in Oz before he got his big break in westerns. Had a helluva time getting the accent right, though.
