Christian Bale doesn't have a Welsh accent, he was born in Wales to English parents, and his accent is 100% English. Damian Lewis (Dick Winter) from Band of Brothers is also British, along with most of the rest of the cast.
Apart from Andrew Lincoln (Rick) there's a few other British actors in The Walking Dead. Lennie James who played Morgan; he was also in Fear The Walking Dead, Andrew Morrisey who played the Governor in season 3 and Lauren Cohan who plays Maggie, she was born in the US but spent most of her Childhood till her late teens in the UK, she now has dual citizenship and classed as English/American. Her accent is mid Atlantic but a lot more English sounding, and like Gillian Andersons (X Files) her accent changes to who she is talking to, if she's being interviewed by an American her accent goes mid Atlantic, if interviewed by a British interviewer her strong English accent comes out.
Talking of accents. I used to work in London with a South African white guy who told me of his trip to New York one hot summer, where and his friend entered an ice cream parlour. He asked the assistant for ice cream. The confused assistant pondered for a few moments and suggested that they leave the store and go to another a few doors away. Angrily they left the store and soon realised that the assistant did not understand their accent as he sent them to a drug store 😂 For those unfamiliar with the accent ‘Ice’ is pronounced ‘arse’ lol.
Pre Walking Dead Lauren Cohan was Bella in Supernatural season three. And she also played a villainess in Chuck season four. She sounds a lot different in both.
British Actors are very good at " putting on " American accents. We have known Hugh Laurie for years and he known for many programmes in the UK. Hollywood loves British Actors playing villians.
It's easier for a Brit to do an American accent than the other way around. When you pack so many accents into a tiny island like the UK you learn the ability decipher & impersonate accents.
Starr, its very funny you talk about accents an the nigerian accents, im british, but lived and worked in london, in a wholesale fish market, with black tilapia being the staple for nigerians, i made many nigerian friends, and proud to say friends, but a nigerian accent, has that aggressive tone, I used to have a customer, like your friend in this video, same body build. he would walk in the shop, and say ''''HEY WHERE IS MY FISH''''' it was just his way and tone, i knew who it was without looking, Love your guys accents, truely, aggresive, but kind
Andrew Garfield is indeed American, having been born in the United States. Growing up in Britain does not diminish his American nationality. Nationality is typically determined by the country of birth, irrespective of parental nationality. Thus, a person born in America to English parents is considered a first-generation American. In Garfield's case, he has an American father and a British mother.
Parental nationality *does* matter, especially if you also spend your entire childhood in your parents’ country. By that definition, if your mother was simply on holiday abroad and happened to go into premature labour before returning home, you’d be of the nationality of that random country, which is ridiculous. Nationality is a combination of elements, particularly the culture you identify with. Christian Bale and the Bee Gees are cases in point. People argue they’re Welsh and Australian respectively, which is nonsense. Christian Bale, who even SELF-identifies as English, has an English accent, English parents and spent the majority of his formative years in England, while the Bee Gees were born on the Isle of Man to Manx parents, grew up in northern England and only moved to Australia when they were in their late teens before coming back, and have English accents through and through, yet people will argue till they’re blue in the face that they’re Australian. They’re not. However, as regards Andrew Garfield, I’ll agree that he’s half American, half British on the basis that he has one parent of each nationality and seems to have spent a lot of time in both countries.

Look up some of the actors interview where they talk with their original accent. =)

Wow! You were surprised. The shock on your faces. Yes please, let's see which British singers bands you are shocked that are British. From Yorkshire
Christopher Nolan's Batman movies are full of British actors.

Would you consider reacting to 'Gladiator/Hans Zimmer/ Bands of HM Royal Marines.'
That accent of Christian Bale is not Welsh, but English
On the original video, the presenter says “city of Staffordshire, England “……Staffordshire is a county not a city.
Christian Bale sounds nothing like a Welshman, more like a Londoner.
Wales not wells.
