Yes, though not as believably. 
I like Kevin Kidd, but seeing his mug just keeps me sad that Rome is no more.

Oh, I'm sorry....I know its pedantic but Kevin McKidd..........I am so glad you like Rome....I survived 20+ ADR sessions on Series 1 and a few on Series 2 and all of those involved are very proud of all we did on it.

Hey don't knock Hugh Laurie. He does a virtually flawless American accent. I've never heard anyone else do one as well.

Actually, there's at least one British citizen who is a member of this very thread who does every bit as good a US accent as Mr. Laurie.
