Why do American movies have American actors using fake foreign accents ?

Why don't they just get foreign actors - British, French, German etc.Why do American movies have American actors using fake foreign accents ?Because Americans like to see the actors they know, most of which are American and have American accents. Therefore it is better for the producers to use American actors and teach them to speak with a semi-foreign accent than to hire a foreign actor that no one knows.Why do American movies have American actors using fake foreign accents ?The same reason they get British actors to use American accents (like Kate Beckinsale and Christian Bale). The popularity of the actor/actress trumps the authenticity of an accent. That's why you'll see Brad Pitt playing European parts many more times lol.Why do American movies have American actors using fake foreign accents ?Maybe it's cheaper to hire someone from the country?



I dunno. They even hire American actors that use fake American accents. Like there is nothing more annoying than a fake southern accent...ahhh.
