His American accent sounds cooler than his real / English accent.

And no, this is not being a bigot against certain linguistics or against English accents. I can think of countless English actors who sound better in their native tongue than their fake accents for the big screen.

But his American accent is absolutely haunting; it adds attention and authoritativeness to its texture. His voice deepens when he uses the American accent and it adds such a rough and rugged tone to it.

I know it's an irrational thought; but I wish his American accent somehow became permanent because he just emulates it so well on screen. It genuinely fits his 'look' more than his real accent.

LOL! I'm glad too!

But I'm not exactly a new House addict! I was around when it first came about and this is my third rewatch after Netflix added it. I'm new to Netflix too as Netflix is now in the Philippines. So, now my House love has been reignited again!

And he really is so sexy as House!

And I never thought an American accent would sound so much more hotter than an English one, but it really does suit his persona you know? And it really is much much deeper and gruffer and bad-boy-ish with that accent.
