If you watch the interviews on the four-DVD set, you'll note that he was one of
the few "Mercans" in the movie.
It seems to be easier for "English" speakers (Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, et.
al.) to fake "Mercan" than the other way around.
Liv Taylor was another Mercan in Fellowship, and to my ear, she had an
authentic Elvish accent as Arwen. :-)
