I Take Exception with that description of Americans, really that's EVERY business man so really using that logic ANY accent would work.

Sorry, just found that comment offensive.

An American accent could indeed work. What about Dustin Hoffman?

Or Al Pacino? Not subtle enough, maybe?

I liked Hoffman as Captain Hook...hmm wonder if that would qualify him as a good voice for a dragon.

I don't know... I see (er... hear?) Smaug as having a very deep, rumbling, yet articulate, mellifluous voice.

Or... wait a minute! What about Sean Connery? He's already done a dragon and I think he did a fairly good job of it, regardless of how the movie turned out.

Okay Sean Connery Has yet to make a movie I like League of extradinary Gentlmen was good in Spite of him!

If he does Smaug I'll turn into Dauby and smack my head into a wall

You didn't like "The Molly Maguires"? And he was the best James Bond there ever was.
But I digress...
How about Brian Blessed? If he's still vertical.

As an American myself, I can say things like that about my countryfolk if I want to.
