I just saw the new ad for the ANZ Bank starring Simon Baker, aka The Mentalist.
He's an Australian, selling an Australian company, to an Australian audience ...
AND HE'S SPEAKING IN A FRICKIN' AMERICAN ACCENT.
We're so world-class.

I noticed that too. When he appears on Ellen DeGeneres' show he always speaks with his Australian accent.
ReplyDeleteI can only assume his use of an American accent in the advertisement is to keep in character with his television series. (I haven't seen that series but I assume that is how his character speaks.)
