Does Pedro Pascal really have an accent though? Every interview i can find of him he sounds very american. Only when he said his name did I even hear a hint of a Chilean accent.

Everyone has an accent.

needlessly pedantic there, buddy. To answer the question no he doesn’t have a particularly strong or regional english accent, it is very neutral.

My is that he’s got an American accent, but was attempting to use a 60s accent for the film. After doing a search it looks like he was told to tone it down, so I guess he’s using his actual accent? In which case I was wrong and it’s really 1/2 the cast.

By “fake an accent” do you mean…
Acting?

Isn’t acting just faking?

Faking implies distrust. Acting implies skill. Know the difference…

No.
Neither is code switching.

The probable idea is that they are not representing a background that they share with their character, which there has been a push for recently.
however, there are also “colorblind” casts being done recently as well, so it’s one trend or another.
Also, it’s hollywood, you expect the majority of the cast to be from the country of production of a film.

Like bro…
Do you really not see a difference between ethnicity and nationality?
To you, those are the same?

Do you normally engage in this sort of prescriptive logic?
