    Default Liam Neeson accent

    Can his accent pass for American to your ears?

    If not, what would you guess his accent was, without looking up info online?

    No. It sounds like a mixture of his native Irish and a made up mid Atlantic (more on the British than American though)

    He sounds sorta-like-American - all those ''R's'' are audible & rhotic but it probably comes from him coming from Ireland. We need American to give you more accurate answer.

    I think all these years in Hollywood have 'yankeefied' his northern Irish accent. Or could also be that when he speaks to yanks he inadvertently moderates his accent. I do it sometimes too when I speak with spanish speakers from other countries.
