.. except about my being wrong!
But actors work to please a broad audience, so their success or failure in their craft depends on the overall response of that audience, drama experts as well as ordinary Joes, Joannas, Giuseppes, etc. If, say, Hugh Laurie's House performance passes muster with a majority, Stateside and internationally, ... kudos to him, I say.
Accents for comic effect, such as Garbo's Ninotchka, require less skill but can be equally entertaining, I think.
It's always interesting to know which performances elicit cringes, though!
