 Actor Troy Clobes (qv) almost didnt get the part because of his  inability to do a Scottish accent. Jack Reda (qv) lent him several  movies about Scottish people, including _Braveheart (1995)_ (qv),  _Rob Roy (1995)_ (qv), and even  _So I Married An Axe Murderer (1993)_ (qv). It didnt matter that  the accent was authentic or even good.
