I think Olivier sounded more Brooklyn (#7) than the Bronx. It's a
subtle difference, but I'm pretty sure he came from Brooklyn. And he
also tried to get away with other accents, too. Those actors will do

In BOYS OF BRAZIL (no, but close) or MARATHON MAN, he's an excellent
pain administrator for the excellent driver/dental patient/graduate/
fake soap operariste* Dustin Hoffman

Always loved the bit in HIGHLANDER where Sean Connery reveals that he's not a
Scot, but a Spaniard, and then later that he's actually an Egyptian...all
without changing his accent....

And that he makes both of these confessions to Christopher Lambert, playing an
*actual* Scot without ever deviating from his own Belgian accent....r

maker of carriage wheels.

Didn't I see SC say on 60 MINUTES that he's a candidate for the
President of Scotland if and when a dis-unification day arrives?

Apparently he resides somewhere off shore (Bermuda? Bahamas?) because
of high taxes
