Everybody (almost) sounds better with a British accent.
I (being British) was once asked by a Californian to repeat the phrase "Oingo Boingo" as she found it cute and amusing. As her friends were cute and amusing, it seemed a fair exchange.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

You're like a scene out of Love, Actually !

All is well that ends in pizza.
The freaky thing about her interviews on the DVDs is that she says I and means Fred. I know a lot of actors do that, but it's always cognitively dissonant to me.
After doing umpteen plays in college I finally gave into that as an easier way to talk about the storyline.
"Then my character does" is sometimes clunky, and speaking of a role you see from your POV really feels like talking in the third person.
Although I did find myself introducing the concept that I would represent the character when describing the scene or play. I did add an occasional "well, my character" to remind people I was speaking of the character.
Your theaterspeak may vary.

Haven't seen it, but it sounds like I should. I should add this happened ten years ago, so she wasn't ripping the film off.
And while I agree AD sounds strange with an American accent, JM's native accent really freaks me out.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Initially, hearing both JM's native accent and real age both shocked the bejeebus out of me.

JM sounds oddly like David Duchovny in his real accent.

Is David Duchonvny also a Californian?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
From Jersey/NYC, I think.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Duchovny is east coast, and Gillian Anderson is general mix, since she spent much of her childhood in England and Minnesota. This is probably why a lot people just guess she's Canadian.

Is it the voice in his normal Cali accent that makes JM sound like DD? Like, not the accent so much?
I mean, do you now feel that you know what DD would sound like if he were being Faux Cockney?
