[ACC25086]

If you think only British accents are used to represent villains, you aren’t paying much attention to movies. How about all the Arab terrorists, Latino drug dealers and black ‘ghetto-sounding’ gang members that make up a far larger portion of film villains? How about all the Russian villains or Italian mafiosos? British accents in the American mind represent the upper class, old money or other privileged elites, which only by coincidence also makes them good villains. Think about the Star Wars series, for example. Frankly, we get all too many movies that assume a British accent equals sophistication and the height of culture. Think James Bond or all those boring Ivory Merchant films.
