Ribisi's accent

The accent made him sound rather screechy.

Thanks. Hard to tell just from trailers what kind of accent it was. Wasn't sure if it was an actual accent or just something he pulled out of his ass.

is it just me or does ben foster kind of sound like ribisi with ribisis real voice?

it definitely wasnt a nola accent. i live in new orleans, and he didnt sound like the whites or blacks ou chea

The longer I watch this, the more irritated I get by his phony accent. It's just as bad as Juno's dad's phony accent.

I'm from Texas & my first thought was that he sounded like he was from Louisiana. It was weird, though b/c no one else even tried for an accent. I missed a little of the beginning (I have a 5 year old I have to keep entertained in her room while we try to watch movies with bad language) and I actually thought it was based in NY or NJ and Ribisi's character had moved there from LA until my husband told me they were all in NOLA. Weird...

i usually adore ribisi's acting - but i am from new orleans and we sure as hell don't talk like we have s**t in our mouth; i don't know why ribisi chose that particular accent bc it was just way off even though he was a prick thug - the whole accent was way off... all the other actors did well bc they didn't to the "cajun' accent which is only heard in the outskirts of new orleans -- like pierre port, vacherie, shreveport (some parts) just to name a few.
