"As a legacy of his itinerant childhood, he is English/French bilingual, and no slouch in Spanish and German, either. "People meeting him in 'real life' are surprised that he sounds more English than American – but so would you if you’d lived in Europe for 50-odd years . This doesn’t, however, prevent most casting agents from insisting that he play Americans – which he does happily and, not entirely surprisingly, like a native."
