Chis Pine does a terrible Irish accent in one of the Trek bloopers (on purpose, of course). It’s funny as hell!

It’ll be interesting to see what his “serious” accent sounds like.

ZQ’s pic looks like something out of Mad Men…

Poor Zachary is not getting any chatter.
We still love your work Zachary but I
do like the ears over the suit.

Check out his Irish on the extended DVD
extras. I am sure you can take that apart
for us.

#13, again I reiterate, no actor born outside of Northern Ireland has perfected our accent. Though I can understand that it may seem authentic to someone outside Northern Ireland, but over here, we just cringe because it’s done so badly. Neither Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Pitt or anybody has been able to do it authentically.

Kudos to Chris branching out but most of the plays at the Taper Forum are quite forgettable and this one sounds especially bad. Let’s just say that drama company is not exactly giving Broadway a run for its money…

Just to point out the age of consent is lower in Ireland so he’d be okay (though Ireland has some seriously screwed up consent laws at the moment, anyway, based on the assumption that women are always ‘victims’ of sex… if a 14 year old guy has consensual sex with his 15 year old girlfriend he’s guilty of rape for instance, and has to go on the sex offenders register, while she’s committed no crime under the law)

I have to say that I respect Chris Pine as an actor a lot more seeing him go back to the boards at a time in his career when he doesn’t have to. Ask any actor and he/she will tell you that stage acting requires you to know your stuff.

Oh my God, I’d kill to hear Chris Pine do a Northern Irish accent! As I’m from Belfast myself, that’d be one for the books! There’s never, ever been an actor who isn’t from Northern Ireland who’s done even a half decent version of the accent. It’s very hard to emulate.
