I've been told by a British friend of mine that my accent is pretty darn good. I can even do Scottish and Irish. Australian as well, but not as good.

No, infact, if you ever see him on any of the Buffy or Angel DVD's in the special features, he has no accent.

I suck at faking accents but when I spent a few weeks in England I caught myself picking up on intonations without even realizing it.
