OK then.
I do think that it is very difficult for someone to nail an accent such that it sounds faultless to a native speaker. Some people have the knack for mimicry, but it is not something that necessarily goes hand-in-hand with acting ability.
Personally, I'm hopeless at accents. Then again, I'm no actor. Not since my Uni days, at least.

As I said, I thought he did pretty well given that he was going for a regional English accent. Not perfect, but he was certainly no Dick Van Dyke.
