Foreigners Playering Americans Stars in U.S. TV Shows
NPR had a story this morning about the prevalence of British actors popping up on American TV.
"Brits, Aussies and an Irishman star as Americans in a number of U.S. TV show like "House," "The Mentalist" and "Without a Trace." Each network has a show with a non-American star playing American. What's their appeal?"
They talk about the likes of Simon Baker and Jason O'Mara, but Damian Lewis and Life get an extended mention, with interviews with Damian Lewis and the show's producers.
