The British are coming! With some Aussie's too!

An increasing number of British and Australian actors are adopting the American tongue for starring roles here in America.

Why the recent influx?

“I think one of the reasons has to do with the collapse of the British film industry,” says Marc Hirschfeld, executive vice president of casting at NBC Universal Television. “The fact that there isn’t as much in the work in the U.K. as there has been in the past has opened things up a bit for them. The talent pool … is stretched incredibly tight,” Hirschfeld says.

“I’m sure working actors don’t like to hear that, but it is indeed the case. To find the depth of experience that we usually require in those leads, the U.K. and Australia are great places to go.”

Despite winning an Oscar in 2003 for “The Hours,” Kidman is not a big box office draw. The 41-year-old actress has never headlined a movie that grossed more than $100 million in North America. Her recent flops include “The Invasion” and “Fur.” Forbes magazine reported in September that she was Hollywood’s most overpaid celebrity.
