Scottish Accents

[markpud]

So whose Scottish accent is the most dodgy??!

Lambert's isn't great, and Adrian Paul's isnt much better

I think Conner's accent in his modern life is great, really cool and kinda mixed like you'd expect from someone whos moved around the world during the course of his life... (but then again I think thats just Lambert's normal accent )

I love the line about his accent in the movie and his response "Lot's of different places."

I don't know accents all that well to differentiate them. Cockney I can tell, but that's about it.

Lambert is French (I could listen to him speak French all day even though I wouldn't understand a word he says). I think his background has gave him the perfect accent for the show like you said. He's a man that's travelled the world. His accent should show that.

Adrian Paul is English isn't he? He started out as a choreographer over there if I remember correctly.

Cheers,

actually - Lambert is an american citizen - he was born in New York - his father worked for the UN and was stationed in Switzerland, so that's where Chris grew up --

Adrian - yes, is from England -- beyond that, i don't know much about him -- (not one of my fave actors)


as far as accents go - at the end of one of the Highlander films they talk about Chris' accent and say that he worked w/ someone to get an accent that is 'non-specific' so that he didn't sound like he was from anywhere in particular ---

Chris' voice is a lot like his Connor MacLeod 'NY' accent --

and Chris does better w/ the Scottish than does Adrian, but Adrian's is a far cry better than that chic who played Cassandra - hers was terrible ---
