at least if you take American to mean from the USA as is coloquially done. He's actually from the same nation Bill Shatner is from. And that isn't Scotland. I heard him speak once on the matter, and he said he didn't want to do a funny accent, but they liked it so much the part got made that way. He likes to do accents, but likes to use his own voice too. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473

Witness: William Shatner/James T. Kirk of Star Trek Leslie Neilsen/J. J. Adams of Forbidden Planet Lorne Green/Adama of Battlestar Galactica Oh, and let's not forget Percy Rodriguez/Commadore Stone from the Trek episode Court Martial. Other notable Canadians include HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain), Raymond Massey (the film Things to Come), Barry Morse (Space: 1999), Raymond Burr (the reporter in the orginal Godzilla), and Dorothy Stratten (Galaxina). And we'd all be lying in the gutter with our blood clotted if it hadn't been for Canucks Arthur Hill and Kate Reid in The Andromeda Strain. Donald Sutherland wasn't quite as adept at defending us from the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
