How true!

 

I just want to hear Darius speak again. I hope all that time in LA hasn't wiped out his cultured West of Scotland accent.

 

Some fans said they could hear an Americanisation when they spoke to him at the stage door after his last run in Chicago. I didn't though. I think it has to be fairly pronounced before I can tell, but not nearly as much as Joss Stone at the Brits.

He was still Scottish last time I spoke to him. Who knows though, he's been practising New York and it may stick for a little while.
mmm so looking forward to seeing him again, the more I hear about this show the more I am tempted, the thought of all that kissing, and fighting...

Why New York? I thought Sky Masterson was supposed to be a high roller from out of town? Shouldn't he speak with some other American accent ?

It may be better if D. did lose his Scottish accent if he wants to do more stage work.

Remember how much stick Sean Connery took for playing every part with

an underlying Scottish accent ?

Just as long as he can still speak it on occasion!

 

Yes, but Sean Connery pretty much deserved the criticism in that respect. He didn't usually bother to put on an accent and whenever he did give ( The Untouchables!), his attempts were dire.

 

I don't think D's own accent would be any problem, because he seems quite an adept mimic and can adopt and sustain various accents. I definitely wouldn't want him to deliberately start speaking in RP English.

Thank you. I even got a shout out "Goodnight" from Mikey when I came on in the early hours. We must have been 2 of the few members on at that time. I sent him a Good Morning shout out in reply.
