Reply to comment by ComeAlongPonds in Are British and Australian actors/ actresses better as a whole than American actors/ actresses by Beta_Ray_Trill

Right, but why is it so common to see Brits/ Aussies play Americans and not vis versa?

American media is consumed more frequently abroad than other country’s media is consumed in America, so Australians and British people are likely to have grown up having been exposed to American English at a higher rate than the other way around. I don’t think it’s a matter of acting skill so much as it is more exposure to American English dialects.
