Reply to comment by GamingTatertot in Production Has Begun On The Walking Dead's Rick and Michonne Spinoff by impeccabletim

yeah, idk what that guy is talking about The Walking Dead has been a shit show most of the time, but the actors are seriously top notch. Rick's accent is great. I've lived in the south most of my life. I don't people realize there's a ton of different types of southern accents. When I was a kid i even noticed this after meeting people from Charleston compared to people from a completely different city in that same state.

I've heard plenty of Ricks and Shane accents. I've even heard one of those crazy prim and proper early 1900's southern accents from this old guy in college. I half expected them to say "i do declare". It was so long ago that my memory wants to believe he did say it.

Yeah, my Charleston accent is very different from an accent of just someone in SC upstate

And Pascal does not have a Southern accent. Is that what he is doing?

Georgian, Texan, Appalachian, Gulf (MS, AL, FL shores), Backwoods Mississippi, Cajun, and Carolinian .. all sound different but have that same twang to it. Except backwoods MS. Some people there speak mumbling gibberish.

That's not a Texan accent you're describing, just a dated stereotype.
