Agreed. The bad of American network television, you have to keep churning out a bunch of episodes even when all your half decent ideas are gone.

Another one for Sean Bean in this series called Legend when he tries to do a Texan accent. Cringe worthy. How does this guy make a living?
But British accents.
Dick Van Dyke of course. Audrey Hepburn's cockney in My Fair Lady. Mind you do we really know what cocknies sounded like in the 1800s?
Spike in Buffy falls in to an almost Aussie accent sometimes.

Green Street as mentioned in OP is worst accent I've ever heard and literally have never been able to take the bloke seriously ever since

Russell Crowe the Roman general in Gladiator
Sean Connery the Soviet submarine commander in Hunt for Red October
Are two examples of not trying to murder their respective characters accents, just plain old Kiwi and Scots (Glasgow)

Jason Statham in..... anything Jason Statham is in. I can never tell if he's meant to be English or American - or from somewhere in the Atlantic.
We recently started watching the Canadian series Orphan Black (and soon stopped again) - two of the main characters are meant to be English and it's painful.

Russel Crowe in Robin Hood was odd considering I thopught he was quite good in Master and Commander. Charlie Hunnam in Green Street has to be up there as pure comedy gold. Not a British accent but I watched The Interpretor last night and god only know what accent Nicole Kidman was attempting. A bizarre cross between US, South African and Australian!

I'm not sure if Eva Green is supposed to be British in Casino Royal but her Gallic tones creep though.
As for Crowe who's to say what a 12th century middlander sounded like? And he probably picked up an accent while on crusade.

Jason Statham’s in The Meg was pretty weird.
Part Brit, part Yank, part Aussie.

Never mind the accents in Green Street, it's singularly one of the worst fucking films ever committed to celluloid...

I watched Cadillac Records recently, story about Chess Records. The Rolling Stones accents when they turned up at the studio and met Muddy Waters were hilarious.

Talking of great actors doing shit accents. Stephen Graham as a welsh DI in White House Farm murders, was one he might want to forget.
