5. Nothing’s Wrong With My Accent
John Mahoney’s character “Martin Crane” had a standard, run-of-the mill American accent, though he grew up in Manchester, England. Mahoney moved to the USA when he was nineteen and to “blend in” chose to drop his British accent when he settled in Illinois. The character Daphne was supposed to be from Manchester and as such, Leeves chose a heavy Mancunian accent, though she was raised just north of London. However, fans in England didn’t quite take to the affected accent when the show aired in the U.K. and she later worked with a voice coach to ensure American viewers could understand her. By the way, sassy latina Rosie Perez was almost cast in the Daphne role.
