[QUOTE="Teedub, post: 1262055, member: 4257"] That's because for as long as I remember, upper-class English accents have been the 'go to' for anything where it's supposed to be foreign. The reason is because British actors are the best stage actors in the world, and despite movies/TV being far more popular amongst the general public, within 'the industry', stage is more respected. Hence someone like Patrick Steward being far more respected than someone like Johnny Depp. It's also because when film/TV became popular, Britain was the dominant global power. It is what it is.
