1. Best - Mark Wahlberg-Everything (only guy on this list actually from Boston, Dorchester neighboorhood to be exact)
2. Best - The Affleck Boys and Matty Damon- You're thinking..OBVIOUSLY JEN THEY ARE FROM BOSTON! But no, they're not. They're from Cambridge, which borders Boston and the accent is differnt. But they grew up close enough that its super easy to slip into one. (kindda like being from Queens, and pulling of a Brooklyn accent, they are different, but very similar)
3. Best -Denis Leary-Everything. Not actually from Boston. He's from Worcester (my hometown) about 50 minutes (in Mass we measure distance by time, not by actual distance) from Boston. So our accent is a lighter version of the Boston accent, but he/we can easily lay it on think and have it still be natural.
4. Best - Amy Ryan-Gone Baby Gone
5. Best - Jeremy Renner -The Town
6. Best - John Ratzenberger-Cheers
7. Best - The Tin Man-The Wizard of Oz "If I only hadda haaaaaat"
8. Somewhat Acceptable - Blake Lively-The Town
9. Somewhat Acceptable - Alec Baldwin - The Departed
10. Somewhat Acceptable - Leo Dicaprio-The Departed
11. Worst - Robin Williams-Good Will Hunting
12. Worst - Tim Robbins-Mystic River
13. Worst - Vera Farmiga-The Departed
14. Worse - Rob Morrow-Quiz Show
15. Worst -Julianne Moore-30Rock
16. Makes Babies Cry- Tom Hanks-Catch Me If You Can
17. Note: This is based on their accents, not their performances. Example-Robin is FUCKING AMAZING in GWH and Blake got the Charlestown manerisms down perfectly.
True story - Amy Ryan's accent was so good that a security guard once refused to let her on set because he thought she was a local.
