Including his part as an Irish-American in The Untouchables, for which he won an Oscar?

There is always an exception to the rule but even in that film his voice/accent was questionable,i'm not taking anything away from his performance but the Oscar should of gone to Vincent Gardenia for his role in Moonstruck,that film dominated the Oscars in that year

"You sound strange, where is that accent from?"
"Lots of different places."

Jude Law in Breaking and Entering.
The role was of a middle aged man suffering from a mid-life crisis, falling for a young immigrant mother. Instead you had a stylish, dashing young man falling for and getting turned down by a much older woman.

My worst accent choice goes to Liam Neeson as a comedy cockney in "The Dead Pool".
Neeson to Clint Eastwood: "OI! I DITENT MURDA' NO BLOKES...STOP 'ASSELIN ME, LOVE!"

worst accent ever? anna lovato in sprint.

1) Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, wrong wrong wrong; it's Ewen McGregor for christ sake. Now I'm perfectly willing to suspend disbelief for a worthwhile cause, or in this case Lucas's legacy soiling 3-prong shitfest, but combine the awful casting with the awful wooden performance...well, disaster.

2) Whoever played Moriarty in the recent BBC Sherlock reboot, much too young and over the top, just didn't get it.

3) Steven Segal in [insert name of any Stephen Segal film], seriously the guy would be miscast in a film about Steven Segal.

SACRILEGE.

jack nicholson in all about schimdt

just didnt seem right with him in that role. would of been good for dustin hoffman.

worst accent will always be dick van dyke in mary poppins

There's something about Jack Nicholson and Robert DeNiro in 'nice guy' roles or comedy that just seems so WRONG given their past cinematic CVs.

Love Lucent-X's Steven Segal quote! Dito Stallone in anything other than mumbling boxer/Vietnam veteran roles.

any movie where Keanu Reeves plays a tuff guy
i just know in my heart of hearts i could kick his ass
