Did you know that they change "armed bastards" to "angry bastards" for the U.S. version? I mean, yeah, U.S. police are always armed, but it just doesn't have the same ring to it. (Reason number N on the list of "why I will not watch the U.S. version.")
lol I also love that quote... see where Gene gets some of his humour from.
and... angry bastards? seriously? ... because americans are so intimidated by the mention of guns *rolls eyes*
It really doesn't make sense.... I mean I suppose I should just be grateful that NBC didn't just dub over the original with american actors providing the voices ;)
ABC. And the interview over at io9 says they think O'Mara's wooden delivery may be him working damned hard to keep the Irish out of his voice, because apparently it's pretty thick and he has a vocal coach with him non-stop on the set. I stuck the linky over at lom_usa and can't be arsed to go look it up.

Hopefully they just let him use the accent, anything to make him less wooden would be nice!
