Its not only the Brit actors - there are hundreds of Antipideans as well !
I always remember being surprised when I noticed that there were regional accents in foreign countries. It was when I went to Uni in the North of France and everyone had hysterics as I spoke French with a broad Toulouse accent - up until that point French had been French to me !
I do RP with a westcountry intonation friends always accused me locally of talking "posh" and most people put me as South East - I blame my parents who were Welsh !
My parents are Welsh too (but don't have Welsh accents), I lived all over the UK, then spent 6 years in the USA. Parents had a house in the South of France so I speak French with l'accent du soleil, and who knows what my English accent is now. My kids speak English with a French accent and French with a southern accent - all in all we're a linguistic melting pot here!
