Same thing with British or Australian actors.

Most if not all of them are required to use a speech dialect coach if their accent is really thick, and can’t hide it naturally. Some are just naturally able to do it, but not all. The serious actors use a dialect coach. I know when British actors come over to the U.S and do American movies, they must sound more American so they use a dialect coach to hide their accent or are able to do it naturally from good listening skills and they just wing it. For Example Christian Bale in "American Psycho", "Batman trilogy". Heath LEdger is another one. He was able to hide his too, but in his earlier work his accent tended to come out when saying certain words thats how I knew. Even actors like Robert Pattionson. The serious actors hide their accents. Most of the UK actors are serious actors anyway.

If I work out twice a day, two hours each session, eating properly and working hard, how long would this process take?

I don’t know. But having your own chef, gym and personal trainer helps.

How do you find people suitable for recording the conversations? Are there companies that specialize in this? The speakers have to speak clearly and be good actors as the scripts and the questions are quite complicated.

The same way that you find ordinary actors, through "Spotlight"

Are there any other examples of an actor or actress feeling discomforted or having an reaction to the makeup they’ve worn for a specific role in a show or movie?

Wizard of oz originally had a different tin man, the first left because of a lung condition the aluminum dust gave him. The second actor struggled with it as well.

Same movie, Dorothy had her boobs wrapped so tightly that it tore breast tissue, because the studio said her chest was too large.

Definitely Joey! He is really childish but I think that is what makes the show really hilarious at some points. I think that Ross comes in as the runner-up though!

Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton are fantastic actors but are fairly limited insofar as charisma. Arnold and Bruce Willis aren’t especially gifted actors but undeniably charming and magnetic.

Who are your choices?

James Dean is the ultimate actor with charisma and screen presence. In only three films he changed how acting is done, affected a generation of teens in the 50s, and became a legend.

WHAT SHOW?

seriously dude the Fall TV season is upon us… 15% of all new/original TV shows for the week would have aired on that day … and I’m guessing plenty of those had Black actors… so w/o knowing what show you are talking about you might as well look up black actor on imdb and check them all until you recognize him
