Jax - Charles Matthew Hunnam - his accent

This character played by UK born HUNNAM intrigues me with his accent. Anybody else notice that in the episodes where the Irish are in dialogue, HUNNMAN has a significant taint of his natural UK accent in his speech, but in episodes absent of the Irish, his accent sounds American.?

Well, a weird blend of American and British. He never sounded quite right, but I don't think Hunnam was hired for his skill with accents.

I am not complaining, BTW. I liked the show fine.

Well, Chibs was almost always around him and he uses his natural Scottish accent. So I imagine it was always sort of a struggle to maintain his American accent.

it is a constant topic here, but personally I never notice his UK-ness come through..

He didn't necessarily sound English, just weird, really. It's how I knew that he was putting something on - wasn't surprised to find out that he was English.
