Hugh Laurie is especially good. He totally makes that show...
Agreed.
He IS the show!
Without him it would 've been canceled............
He just cracks me up. No one else could play that part with such quality.
I love the part when he said, "Bros before hoes, man."

I was told by one of yer UK counterparts that he has an American accent.
For instance, Baltar is British.
If you couldn't figure that out without me saying ACCENTS then you need to sit a corner with your dunce cap on.
No, for instance Blatar has a English accent. He isn't a British character, as your assertion 'Baltar is British' suggests - he's from Caprica.
It's all well and good you telling us that we should be able to decipher your prose but if you wrote it properly in the first place, it wouldn't be neccesary.
If you meant that English actors mimic American accents better than American actors perform English accents, you should have said so.
