Celebs You Didn't Know Have Accents

While Idris Elba continues to find his groove at the box office, the actor is probably best known for his breakthrough role as Stringer Bell on HBO's critically-acclaimed series The Wire. As Bell, Elba plays a complex drug boss attempting to rule the streets of Baltimore. The actor blends right in with his fellow castmates, some of whom grew up in some of the toughest cities in America, so fans may be shocked to learn that Elba is actually British

His convincing run in The Wire is even more impressive considering producers dubbed over his voice in a film that he made in the '90s because his American accent was so bad. Fortunately, Elba took the setback in stride, and now he's one of the busiest working actors in Hollywood.
