I'd like to say first, I think this lady is a perfectly good actress and I do like her character in californication but... what's going on with her accent? Hank calls her an english rose, but her accent clearly isn't english at all. I read on her bio that she spent time in south africa so that'd explain a bit but what is she supposed to be in this series because she doesn't sound like one or another :os
shareweird accent for sure
When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
both of you are morons. if Hank calls he an English rose, what does that tell you? forget about the actress being brought up in S.A. she hasn't got an African accent at all. besides, actors/actresses are supposed to change their accents on the part they choose.
she sounds like she is meant to be from a posh part of UK. sure, we have lots of accents in uk. how do i know this? cos i'm from Blighty too. and i've had a posh upbringing with going to boarding school for 4 years of my life.
listen to our Queen speak and then listen to Vinnie jones. a hell of a lot of differance, considering both are British and both lived in London [queen still does from time to time]
i think the actress has the accent down to a T.
I don't care where she's from or what accent she is using, I love her voice and her accent. I normally don't go for ultra skinny girls but she is HOT in Californication.
shareShe isn't putting any accent on, that is her voice-- watch 'Junebug', it is exactly the same.

Really?!
Firstly; thanks for this thread - I just finished watching the 3rd series of Californication and this character's accent irritated the hell out of me!
I've no wish to get into an IMDB Board argument over accents (you all know why!), but this character's accent was all over the place. It was so bad that I was expecting it to be a plot device, how she is outed as not British at all or something.
I don't remember her from elsewhere and I understand that she was in Gosford Park, so presumably she can at least do a 'cartoonish' posh accent and was trying a modern posh accent for Californication - but failed. But then again, Gosford Park DID have Ryan Phillippe's horrible fake accent (as plot device) and I suppose it's possible for any other accent next to that go unnoticed.
BTW Brits are awful at recognizing accents; that bit in the Crying Game where s/he 'recognizes' a Norn Iron accent (if ever there was one!) as Scottish isn't artistic licence!
