Good American Accents

TV Guide has an interesting photo gallery of current TV actors who are not Americans, but play Americans convincingly. 

I remember the one I was most taken aback by was Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl.  I had no idea he was British until I saw him interviewed on a talk show.  He hid his accent very well. 

Hugh Laurie is not on the list since House has ended, but I think he has one of the best American accents I've ever heard.

Among the movie actors, Christian Bale is the one that constantly surprised people.  When I hear his real voice, I still think that his Welsh accent sounds like the fake one.
