You must mean "the English accent should not be a problem". :-)
Because it's certainly is. There are some good examples: Renee
Zellweger in "Bridget Jones", Nathan Lane in "Nicholas Nickleby" but
there are much more terrible, cringe-worthy examples when it was a
problem.
Richard Gere and Kevin Costner come to mind as the worst offenders.
