American or Aussie??


Lewis Wilson, Date of Birth:28 January 1920, New York, New York, USA. However in the opening sequences he sounds like he's got an accent, Australian? SO is he American or Australian, anyone know?

reply

American, I would say. His accent sounds more North Eastern U.S., which it should, given Bruce Wayne grew up in Gotham (read: New York).

His accent is what was once called a "cultured" accent as used by the snooty highbrow upper crust sect. A slightly more contemporary version can be found in the voice of Jane Wyatt, who played the mother in the 1950's series "Father Knows Best", and Mr. Spock's human mother Amanda in the "Star Trek" series.

Wilson is American.

His son is Michael G. Wilson, the James Bond OO7 franchise producer and screenwriter of 80s Bond films.
