Interesting question.
My mother-in-law continually says that my mannerisms, voice/accent, and overall look are along the lines of a young Tom Hanks. My mother says the same thing, yet in regards to a young Jim Carrey. Personally I don't see it (perhaps I'm a hybrid of both men?), but I am rather fond of both actors.


Cheers,

'Apparently sound like no one famous.

I was raised in So Cal, my mother is from Colorado and my dad from Texas. People tease me that I take on the accent of whoever I am speaking with. It can be quite embarrassing and I don't do it on purpose!
If I was to speak to a famous person I would sound like them!

It will come as a surprise to few that it has been frequently asserted that I sound a lot like Mortimer Snerd. And, proud of it, too. Hyuk, hyuk.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

My family are all Irish so sometimes that accent shines a bit, my mums side all have Belfast accents but they have been softened a bit from living in England. My grandads is funny he'll pronounce flour like "flur" or he'll use the I in italian like "eye"talian.
But my grandparents on my dads side have proper Irish accents so they pronounce T's a lot like "ooh, i wish you was Cat-lick" or "you want to watch him hes a teeth, that boy."
And a lot of my mates are Glaswegian and so many times i have to interpret for them.
Accents are funny things

I have a fairly typical Kiwi accent so don't often sound like anyone famous though I do get asked by other kiwis if I'm from Britain occasionally and am fond of dropping a few Jeremy Clarksonisms into my speech, particularly when I'm teaching.
