British actors with American accent on tv and screen

It's common to find British actors on American tv and screen. Many of them speak with a very good American accent that everyone thinks he/she was really born in US. In 2008, a poll conducted by the site Radio times showed that Hugh Laurie (House M.D.) has the most authentic American accent from TV. The first ones are:

1. Hugh Laurie (House)
2. Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies)
3. Michelle Ryan (Bionic Woman)
4. Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers)
5. Minnie Driver (The Riches)
