The invasion of talented English actors isn't just limited to films. There have also been several British actors in American TV who have also earned viewers' attention and affection.
They have been quite successful in hiding their accents that some fans are still not aware of their actual nationality.
Hugh Laurie became a household name after portraying the embittered but funny Dr. House in the series of the same name.
Stephen Moyer also made women swoon with his broody charm as the vampire Bill Compton in "True Blood." Charlie Hunnam's "Sons Of Anarchy" charater, Jax Teller, also became a hit in the US.
Ed Westwick, who became every girl's fantasy as Chuck Bass in "Gossip Girl", was also British.
"The Walking Dead" star Andrew Lincoln, who plays Sherriff Rick Grimes hides his polished British accent very well when facing off with the undead.
On the other hand, Freddie Highmore made Norman Bates a sympathetic character in the "Psycho" series reboot, "Bates Motel." Matt Murdock from "Daredevil" is also being played by "Stardust" star Charlie Cox.
