That awful Daleks In Manhattan episode of Doctor Who had some terrible travesty of a New Jersey accent that anyone with ears could tell was fake.
Oh the pain! Dalek Sec had the best Dalek voice and they swapped him out for the worst actor in the whole NuWho.

It seems to me some Aussies are better at being American men than we are... Mel Gibson, Hugh Jackman, Russel Crowe.
Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce have done believable (to me) American accents. The actor that plays Jason Stackhouse in True Blood and several Aussie tv actresses have fooled me convincingly. Hugh Jackman seemed pretty close as Wolverine (although the character is supposed to be Canadian).
Others seem passable like Hugo Weaving, and then you've got Eric Bana; who sounds like an Aussie to me no matter how hard he tries. It seems like Mel Gibson can only do his real accent which is stuck somewhere between American and Australian.
