Dr. Evil's Accent?

So what exactly IS Dr. Evil's accent? It almost sounds like some kind of exaggerated American accent, but not quite. It has a Brittish tinge to it which sounds so funny when used with Evil's "hip" vocabulary. Someone help me figure this out.

 

Belgian

 

Anyone truly evil either has a Transylvanian accent, a German accent or speaks whilst breathing at the same time.

 

It's nothing but a lame attempt at an Ed Sullivan impression.

 

Or a British accent.

Slimy!

 

I noticed that he really exaggerates his O's and E's. I sounds really quirky.

 

I always thought it was a mix of Canadian/British/American

I heard that Mike Meyers based Dr.Evil on Lorne Micheals,and since Lorne's Canadian,I guess it's an exaggerated Canadian accent.

 

i wish i knew!

Evil.

 

Those Belgians made him so damn evil.

 

Throw in a little bit of Donald Pleasence as well. Myers himself said he was the Blofeld actor that inspired him the most (although personally, I think there's a much greater physical resemblance to Savalas).

 

As already said, it's Lorne Michaels. So, if it's anything "regional", I guess it's a Torontonian who's lived in New York for 30 years.

 

Its got to be Torontorian cause us here in Western-Canada sound nothing like that...............

 

Walken is correct.

That sounds about right.
