>>> "It isn't the accent, per se, that trips the actor up, it's the linguistic cadence. The rhythm is the hardest thing to learn in most languages; kind of like dancing with a tongue." <<<Good point; what amazes me is that popular British film & television actor Hugh Laurie has managed to pull this off as the featured star in the American hit medical series House. His accent is indiscernable; fooled me completely!
