8 Famous Hollywood Actors You Thought Were Americans

One of the many traits of a good actor is, being able to portray a role well, almost assuming the persona, from speaking the required language, down to the very accent. 

Mastering an accent shows a very high level of adaptability and creativity, which is why some very talented actors in Hollywood might have had you fooled into believing they were Americans, by the way, they have been able to portray and interpret their roles.
