Colin Farrell’s American Accents Always Blow My Mind. How He’s Perfected The Process

One of the most dependable and talented actors working today, Colin Farrell doesn't seem capable of making unwatchable movies and TV shows. The Irish actor also makes his projects just as listenable as they are watchable, thanks in part to his mastery of taking on other countries' accents, particularly American ones. And those skills are fully on display in Farrell's mystery drama Sugar.

The series, available to stream via Apple TV subscription, is currently in the midst of its intense second season, with Better Call Saul vet Tony Dalton serving as John Sugar's key antagonist. And it seems like Farrell has delivered a full melting pot of accents thus far, on top of his quiet and contemplative way of speaking as John Sugar, who technically isn't an American himself, but rather an extraterrestrial, as revealed in the midst of Season 1.
