Can 'Harry Potter' Star Daniel Radcliffe Pull Off an American Accent?

he is a great actor so yes

It may be easier for someone from the Commonwealth to do an "American" accent than vice versa. Alex O'Loughlin is a good example. And there's a number of British vocalists who sound "country" when they sing.

yes, but i like better his british accent :)

He seems to have a determination about him, so I think he'll speak like an American quit well.

Sort of. I watched the first clip and he started off better but got worse. Emma Watson wasn't too bad but she got really bad before the end. Rupert Grint and Tom Felton were alot better although Felton sounded like a country hick lol. I really think Grint and Felton could play American characters (not that I particularly want them too). Although it would probably be good for their acting career to show that they can pull off different accents. I thought Rupert Grint had a convincing Irish accent in CherryBomb (I don't really see how someone can learn an accent. An Irish one seems like it would be particularly hard; don't think I could ever do it.) I like his British accent though.

All I can say is
I LOVE Tom Felton

haha! love the vido!! AND YEA BI*CH JUSTIN BIEBER IS THE MAN!!

There's only one way to find out.

Not bad Daniel but you and Emma need a little practice. Tom & Rupert have it down and are ready to work on this side of the pond.

I think Tom's is by far the funniest xD But they can all do it with effort, just like I've tried pulling off English accents more than once. It's fun.

I've heard worse. He's pretty good. I love Dan no matter what. I'd love to watch this show!

He's a gifted actor but he is jinxed. He will always be Harry Potter.

I've seen that first clip before somehwere, I thought Tom Felton did an awesome American accent lol

Yes just talk as if you have adenoids

I meant yes, sorry.

HA! He and Rupert are pretty good at sounding American. Emma and the other guy (Ohh, what's his name?) aren't so good, but hey, they tried!

Their English accents sound better anyway.

Sure he can. Look at all the British actors that have gone before him. What exactly is an American accent. Are we talking Boston, the Bronx, or Baton Rouge?

find it's easier for brits to use a american accent then vise versa

Why not??!

I wasn't able to play the videos but I think I've seen the first one before a while back. From what I remember he's not that bad. Now, maybe Daniel can gives some pointers to David Tennant because Tennant's accent is pretty awful. :(

Why not??

they guys in HP can but i dont think emma watson did a great job, but she wasnt bad

im sure he could cause he is an actor kinda their job for each role. of course i wish he didn't because a british accent sounds so much better but if needed for a movie why not.

sure why not?

But who cares? The whole world does not have to be "American"

Hugh Laurie did

Haha ... perfect example :)

Thank you...

House is awesome.

I guess...I was impressed with hugh Laurie in the Black adder series as well as Jeeves and Wooster

Black Adder? I'll have to check that out, sounds interesting.

Rowan 'mr. Bean' Atkinson's history based Comedy series...Season 0ne: Richard III Era...Season Two: Elizabethen Era..Season Three: Prince Regent (The Prince Regent played by Hugh Laurie) ..Season Four: World War One...and probably the funniest treatment of history I have ever seen

And Laurie's brilliant at it. I don't know how he does it... I still have trouble with various American accents.

and we have our carload of them from deep south to the midwest to the Urban shores

guess anyone can do it.. so does this mean when they talk to their own people that they don't hear and accent? lol always wondered that.

If he tries hard enough it could be quite convincing. Look at Hugh Laurie :D

Who gives a damn. The whole media thing is so shallow. Give me the part and I'll speak as I speak.

...clearly you know nothing about acting. :|

Its going to be hard to see him in anything else I'll be like look its the guy from harry potter.

Why not?
