Barry Bostwick - totally miscast


His "australian" accent was utterly toe-curling, and nearly as bad as Dick Van Dyke's British accent in Mary Poppins.

Hi,not being Australian I couldn't really differentiate but I'll take your word for it lol

I often drink to make people seem more interesting

Being an Aussie myself I can tell you that Barry Bostwicks "accent" was the worst thing I have ever heard!! Maybe one word in every 20 had a resemblance to an australian.
Surely there was someone else that could have played the part?? Even an English person would have been preferable
