Some years ago, I was stunned at the number of Brits, Ozzies, and an occasional Kiwi who steal the jobs of American actors.

They are so good at doing a really good American accent.

The jobs are only stolen if there are available american actors who are as skilled at their craft as the non-americans who land the parts, and the accent has nothing to do with it. IMHO many american actors in general way overact their parts in many dramas and don't have the classical acting training and discipline required in a number of other countries.

I also take issue with those claiming that The Wire is the best TV series ever. Perhaps it's the best american series ever, but it has serious competition from a large number of foreign shows.
