I'll have to hear him do an American accent before I decide. His other British accents have seemed quite breezy and effortless to me. I haven't had any problem with them at all.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm sure he can do an American accent well, it's just that an American accent immediately makes him more boring.

I can't imagine David Tennant being boring. If they achieve that, it'd take more than the accent for me. But they're all foreign accents to me.

Compassionately intolerant
I can totally see him as a panic-ridden character. Could be interesting...and I can understand him wanting to conquer the colonies. I just hope his ventures go better than Russell Brand's, or my other Brit faves.

Michael Trucco and Sarah Shahi have been cast in a pilot for USA:
Battlestar Galactica" alum Michael Trucco and Virginia Williams have been cast opposite Sarah Shahi in USA Network's pilot "Facing Kate."
Bronwen Hughes has come on board to direct the pilot from Universal Cable Prods, which centers on Kate (Shahi), a divorced San Francisco woman who leaves her job as a lawyer to become a mediator following the death of her dad, who headed a law firm.
Williams ("How I Met Your Mother") will play Kate's obsessive and controlling younger stepmother who is determined to keep her husband's firm.
Trucco will play Kate's ex-husband, also an attorney, a charmer who has feelings for her. The actor, repped by UTA and McKeon/Myones, recently had a talent holding deal with NBC.
The Gersh-repped Hughes directed the pilot for USA's new series "White Collar" and has helmed episodes of two other USA's "Burn Notice" and "Royal Pains."

Pam Grier is joining Smallville, as Amanda Waller. She's totally wrong, physically (okay, female and black with a big rack, but that's it), but what a cool role if written right!
