Of the list, Jamie’s is the best. I flipped out when I discovered he was British. Can the man get any more perfect? No.

Although Matthew Rhys’s is the best of them all – You would never guess he’s Welsh.

I’ve added the “user submitted answer” function to the poll.

I wish I had the foresight to plan this post more thoroughly — I totally would’ve mentioned Anna, etc.

Bamber. A thousand times, Bamber. I don’t mind James McAvoy in his American accent from “Penelope” either though; it seemed iffy in the trailer, as did Lee Pace’s British accent in “Miss Pettigrew,” but both came off well in the full movies.

I’m going to a BSG press party at the Morgan Library tonight, and crossing every finger that Bamber’s one of the cast members that show up. All I want for my birthday!

Hey, I’m only referencing the joke. I can’t claim to capture its brilliance though commenting alone.
