From the IMDb, tangentially via [personal profile] dianora2, I bring you a quote from Dominic Purcell:

"I've been here for five years, maybe four. I was doing 'John Doe,' and I was working ridiculous hours on that, and I was speaking American all day and then I'd get home and speak Australian and I just felt so exhausted by going back and forth that I just decided to speak it all the time. Now I just speak American."


Having spent the weekend in the company of lovely folks speaking both Canadian and British English and discussing the differences between them and American English (as well as the regional variations in American English), the quote resonated.
