Have you ever noticed all villians are British?
I am sure some of you have seen this.
It's interesting to see how dominant British actors have become in Hollywood or in the US in general......Game of thrones for example.
Do we make better actors or something?

It's because of our accents and high cheekbones.

3 RepliesI would hardly call British actors "dominant" in Hollywood. They are prevalent, sure. But even in your example -- the only actor from [i]Game of Thrones[/i] to even be nominated for a Golden Globe or Emmy (and he won both) was one of the few American actors on the show (Peter Dinklage). The Forbes list of Hollywood's highest paid actors includes [url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothypomerantz/2013/07/16/robert-downey-jr-tops-forbes-list-of-hollywoods-highest-paid-actors/]zero Brits[/url], and their list of most [url=http://www.forbes.com/celebrities/#page:1_sort:0_direction:asc_search:_filter:All%20categories]powerful celebrities[/url] has no British actors or actresses in the top 50. AMC's list of the [url=http://movies.amctv.com/movie-guide/the-50-greatest-actors-of-all-time/]greatest actors of all time[/url] has no Brits in the top 10, and only 2 actresses on their list of the [url=http://movies.amctv.com/movie-guide/the-50-greatest-actresses-of-all-time/]greatest actresses of all time[/url] are British. There is no doubt that there are tons of great British actors in Hollywood, and some of them are among the greatest actors ever. There are a bunch of British actors/actresses that I personally count among my favorites. But I would tend to disagree that they are somehow "dominating" Hollywood; that simply doesn't seem true by any measure except a Super Bowl commercial.

Game of Thrones isn't filmed in the US.

2 RepliesWe make the classiest villains.

Haha true, but it gives the antagonist a sophisticated and intelligent feel to them. Subliminal messages as well so that Americans learn to not trust a Brit

How much did they pay you to put up this ad?

I'll wait for the day a Bond villian calls Bond a 'f@g' for wanting a martini and gives him a beer instead.

No, its because Hollywood is afraid of being called racist. So they make all the bad guys British, since that can't be deemed racist. Even though they used Germans (played by British Actors) this is best seen in "The Sum of All Fears." The antagonists in the book were Palestinian terrorists.

It's because of those seductive accents, dammit! Nothing more!

We are just better Inb4 Murrica
