Audiences develop a sense of familiarity with actors after seeing them perform in television series or movie franchises for an extended period of time. However, even minor details such as an actor's actual voice can abruptly remind viewers that actors differ greatly from their characters. In particular, an actor's voice often serves as the foundation for portraying a character, especially if they are portraying a different nationality, such as a British actor playing an American or vice versa. Consequently, when an actor chooses to use their authentic voice, it can be highly surprising, particularly if it deviates significantly from what is expected.
The subsequent list comprises of ten actors whose voices deviate significantly from their on-screen personas. These actors are frequently associated with portraying a distinct nationality, whether it be American or British, despite actually being of the opposite nationality in real life. Consequently, when these actors speak at public events or interviews, their genuine voices are entirely unsuspected. In more extreme cases, actors become so strongly associated with a specific on-screen voice that the revelation of their regular voice can be tremendously shocking. Ultimately, these actors demonstrate an unwavering commitment to their on-screen presence, encompassing their wardrobe choices, hairstyles, and vocal portrayal.

An actor who has left a lasting impression with his voice, despite his relatively young age, is Dacre Montgomery. Renowned for his portrayal of the ruthless and effortlessly cool Billy Hargrove in Stranger Things season 2, one would assume that Montgomery is undoubtedly American. In addition to his memorable role as Billy, he has also brought to life the quintessentially American Red Power Ranger and American director Steve Binder in Elvis, further solidifying what his on-screen accent sounds like. However, it may come as a surprise that Montgomery is not actually American; he hails from Australia, adding an unexpected twist to his impressive range of performances.
