I just watched Trust. It's a movie about a family torn apart after an online predator targets the oldest daughter. It's set in Wilmette, a good ten minutes from me, and one thing that's really strange: Clive Owen plays the father, and he doesn't bother to do an American accent. As a Chicagoan Anglophile, I don't know whether or not that's a good thing (because he's not faking an American accent and his natural RP-ified Brummie accent shine through) or a bad thing (because he's not even bothering to sound like he's from Chicago).
My being a big fan of The Knick is making this question all the more twisted: If he actually tried to do an American accent (especially since his accent there is a lot better than his other attempts), would it make me wonder what Thack was doing on the Modern-Day North Shore, especially given that he was last seen dying while trying to perform intestinal surgery on himself (and ultimately failing) sometime around 1901? Would I at least ask why he lost that trademark 'stache?
