I’m from England and I’ve noticed this, too – almost every movie I’ve ever seen has had a British-accented bad guy. And they are always rational, exceptionally intelligent bad guys – never slash-and-grab types. I’ve also noticed that Eastern European accents are sometimes used for intelligent, calculating criminals. I think the PC crowd would not be so accepting of other accents used for the same types of roles. Recently, groups have boycotted various movies because of the use of Middle-Eastern accents for the villains. I guess because the British are a Western, Caucasion people, it is considered OK to stereotype them. At least we are portrayed as intelligent and elegant people, and even though that’s a stereotype, it’s better than some of the other stereotypes.
