And have never heard an accent like that. It's sort of a flattened English accent, with an American undertone, that doesn't really exist anywhere... In short, its a badly done English accent by an American actor. I am happy that the Hobbit features primarily English actors. Wood and Astin's accents were atrocious, and I never could accept them as being a part of Middle Earth.

I certainly notice his accent being a bit funny up to Rivendell

I think the accent generally stayed consistent throughout the films; it's just a bit higher at times

Most Americans can't do British accents well and vice versa...

It's acceptable, and American South accents are easier for them, also.
