I think any actor that isnt irish trying to do a irish accent is laughable!! It just cant be done.

I'm not sure, couldn't understand what was being said.

Cavan & Dundalk

Has to be Gerard Butler for me too. TERRIBLE!! And what a terrible film!! Though I liked him in 300 as someone else said.

Eerie

Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York - forgets that she's supposed to have one about halfway through the movie so by the end you're wondering did she really have one at all?????!!!

I was so glad when they got rid of her. Her accent used to make me cringe.

Ok i have one. Did anyone ever see Shrooms - that horror set in Ireland?

Well the main 'irish' (i think) guy in that boggled my mind. He sounded English, but the film was set in Ireland with a load of American visiting young ones, so I think he was supposed to be irish but it was never really said. But why make a big deal out of it being an 'irish' film bord na scannan - if no-one in it is irish???

See - very confusing.

Was he supposed to be Irish! Does anyone know???

All the accents from any county except dublin,and possibly north wicklow.

I'm just glad they cut out all of the Irish part of it. It was laughable how they thought people should act out irish parts. American people trying to do a rural cork accent will just not work!!!

I concur with everyone about yer one from heroes. I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but I honestly thought she was supposed to be South African until someone mentioned she was Irish.

Whoppi Goldberg did one in this movie about leprechauns I saw on tv3 on Paddys day a few years back. She was playing a banshee. It was horrific.

Also, there is this:

The accent on the woman who was head of the Irish Mafia in Death to Smoochy

I think he mentions goign to school in England at some point. I half think they added that line in when they realised how bad he was at the accent.

Sean Bean in Patriot games is pretty awful

Gerard Butler in PS I Love You is definitely the worst. It honestly makes Cruise's seem decent. But to be fair, there is absolutely no reason why a Scot should be better a the Irish accent than anyone else.

Best accent is James McAvoy in Inside I'm Dancing. Couldn't fault it for a second.

the ironies herein are just priceless!

poor-quality irish accents are often referred to as being "leprechaun irish" ('Darby O'Gill and The Little People', the da in 'Gone With The Wind' etc...)

leprechauns are often imagined as living in rural locations

note correct spelling of leprechaun

Hehe yeah,people have been telling me for years it's spelt miscorrectly. I only keep it this way out of sentiment.
