Don't let Hollywood fool you into thinking that all actors are Yankees! Lots of Aussies have made their mark on the world of acting too.Due to most blockbusters having people speaking with a flawless American accent, it is easy to think that only American actors can make it big. But that is not the case.
With its unique and often dangerous wildlife and friendly people, Australia is a great place to come from, especially if you are an actor. There are many Aussie TV shows and movies that are so big they make their stars global sensations. Think of the long-lasting "Neighbours", for example. With 37 seasons, it launched huge stars like Pauline Quirke and Kylie Minogue.
So, why don't you hear their charming Aussie accents more often in movies? Many actors have to fake their accents in their movies, to make it easier for the American audience to understand them.
This makes people think that certain Australian actors are American instead. Are you ready to find out which actors are actually Aussies?
