I think a less English English actor is Keifer Sutherland. I bet more than half the people who read this thought he was born in the United States, and he has no trace of a British accent in any of his interviews.

Back to Tim Roth, in his earlier films like Pulp Fiction and Four Rooms, he makes no attempt to hide his British accent.

I think that's because he's playing a Brit.

What about Daniel Day-Lewis? Most of his famous roles are as American or Irish characters.

Roth has played an English character quite a bit more often. But he doesn't normally play toffs or bourgeois-bohemian characters you see in Merchant-Ivory - the least "English" English actor possibly. It doesn't look he minds at all either. From his quotes page:

Americans have bought - lock, stock and barrel - the Jeremy Irons - Kenneth Branagh England. And it's fake. It's an absolute con. Merchant-Ivory? Bollocks!
