Daniel Radcliffe's English accent makes him 'marketable'

Daniel Radcliffe has been told that he can never ditch his English accent, which makes him marketable.

The 25-year-old actor said in an interview that producers told him to get rid of a Canadian accent that he was going to use for a role because he is not marketable without his English accent, which is bad news for all the other stuff he has done with American accents, the Independent reported.

The Harry Potter star, from west London, added that it was one of those ridiculous last-minute panics on their behalf, but he certainly wasn't going to go: "Well, screw you guys, I'm going to put 200 people out of work for the sake of an accent."

Radcliffe, who now lives in New York, continued that a couple of quite good action films have come his way, but there's never a fresh character involved in any of those films. It's just the same people thrown into different cities with different casts.

Radcliffe, who likes action movies, added that he feels there used to be lots of really witty ones, like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon and the Bourne movies, but the good ones are few and far between now.
