The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences estimates that somewhere between 90 and 95 percent of all film roles go to Brits, making English workers the single largest demographic stealing American jobs.

Some of these actors you've probably only heard speak with American accents, but everyone on this list hails from somewhere across the pond. (And by "British," we mean from Great Britain. That's England, Scotland, and Wales). Without further ado, a list of some British actors you may not have expected were actually British. Tally ho!
