10 Actors Who Sound NOTHING Like You Would Imagine
5. Yael Stone
In the Netflix series, Orange Is the New Black, Yael Stone portrays Italian-American prison inmate, Lorna Morello. Although Morello is known for being a hopeless romantic and going full psycho at the drop of a hat, her most distinctive feature is her accent, which is a blend of Brooklyn and Boston. Even though the dialect as thick as cement, it sounds natural coming out of her mouth.
However, Stone was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. What makes her accent on the show all the more impressive is she had zero time to prepare for it during the audition. She originally auditioned for the role Nicky Nichols but lost out to Natasha Lyonne.
When the casting director asked to try out for Lorna Morello, she pulled off the Brooklyn-Boston accent perfectly and won the role. Even though she was meant to appear in one episode, the production team were so won over by her performance, she became a regular on the show. What makes this story all the more impressive is she auditioned and won the role one day before her wedding!
