Actually, whose is possessive pronoun so that is incorrect, it would be who's (a contraction of who is) or who is which is still correct.

Now he's an Australian? Oh look he's American again."

Holy crap get a voice coach. God knows Avatar had enough money to pay for one for him.

I like him because I had the pleasure of meeting him not that long ago and he was a really awesome, down-to-earth guy who was just really friendly and fun.

It's true that his fake American accent is pretty average, but accents don't really bother me these days in a world where we are so culturally hybrid anyway. Plus I think he's done really well for himself considering he was a bricklayer and didn't have any formal training or acting experience until he was about 20.

There's no doubt the man has done pretty damn well for himself in the last 10 years or so, I just don't understand that if his accent is too thick for him to put on a convincing American accent, why even bother? I'm not really picking on him here. There are a lot of actors I feel the same way about, it's just that this is a thread about Worthington's latest movie.

Yeah I know what you mean, and I personally think Australians putting on American accents, or any other nationalities putting on fake accents, is silly. I too hate hearing really bad accents, and to just reverse the roles for a minute, I've never heard an American actor put on a good Australian accent and it does shit me when I'm watching the film and also think - why bother.
