Shawn & Marlon definitely do. I was watching White Chicks the other day and was dying at the way they was pronouncing words.

 

[MaxPain]

There actors, they have to shapeshift a lot for roles so they lose their native accent over time.They have to reinvent themselves including their voices, mannersims etc for movie roles.....so u might catch a lil bit come out here & there but its not as strong.

Its also why so many of them have multiple personality disorders.

I live in SE DC and I don’t really notice any accents here.

 

[MaxPain]

I lived in DC almost all of my life and I never notice any accents.

How u live in DC all that time and havent noticed that COUNTRY dc accent? Its a mix of eastcoast and southern twang, very distinct. Maybe u was around alotta transplants.

U musta been up around Georgetown with them whites
