So Brits, when British actors do American accents, do they sound American to you?

Sometimes.
They seem to be getting a bit better.
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.

David Morrisey just reminds me of Elvis the Spider in The Walking Dead.
Haha, that is one of the things I love about Doctor Who, all the fake American accents. It says a lot about how much many Americans actually consider and pay attention to different accents when you can sit around watching with some friends and make a comment about how bad an American accent is and have them all look at you and say, "What do you mean? ... ... ... OH! Yeah, huh, I guess that probably is a little British kid or something, isn't it? Accent sounds fine to me, hadn't really thought anything of it." What?!
David Morrisey's Elvis impersonation is so ANNOYING. Kills the character for me.
