Hollywood accent coach critiques 32 actors' accents

While a very interesting little film, Accent Coach Man blew it when he suggests Brad Pitt’s accent in Snatch was “Belfast”. It is not, not at all. It is Irish Traveller, which if anything is from rural Republic of Ireland. If it’s “from” anywhere, you might say it’s from maybe somewhere in the East Midlands of Ireland, perhaps Co.Meath? Don’t quote me on that though. I didn’t have too much time for Pitt as an actor prior to Snatch but he absolutely 100% nailed that accent and character in that film - and that’s not an easy accent AT ALL. I’d love to hear what Travellers thought of it.
