    Does Alan Dale sound clearly Kiwi, or does he blend in easily with Aussies?

    Had to look him up. Yes he sounds Kiwi, but not the strongest accent. It might take me a bit longer to notice than the typical NZ expat. Nearly all New Zealanders sound distinct to me. John Clarke is the only one I can think of that sounds Australian.
