Canadian Tesla

An actor in English language television portraying a historical figure from Europe who doesn’t even bother to try an accent.

As in: Several episodes of The Murdoch Mysteries (Canadian tv series) tv series where the actor playing Nikola Tesla doesn’t have even a hint of an Eastern European accent. A ladle of irony that the character is played by an actor named Dmitry Chepovetsky!

That guy playing Louis VIV is a Canadian Tesla
