Accent problem - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I always thought Viggo's accent went a bit wayward when Boromir was dying, it was that American 'twang' as you put it.<P>When Sam shouts 'Those wraiths are still out there!' he doesn't sound the same farmer's son. I can forgive him for that though, the only Englishmen I've heard shouting are a handful of teachers and my father and even then it wasn't top of the lungs. Also, when I try shouting in Sam's accent my voice wanders up to the Birmingham area.
