13 'Game of Thrones' actors whose normal accents sound nothing like their characters on the show

"Game of Thrones" is a huge, ambitious show. It's clear how much work goes into crafting each of the hour-long episodes. From creating hyper-realistic dragons, to casting hundreds of extras for giant battles, the show spares no expense.

For many fans, though, there's one detail of the show where the work that goes into it may go unnoticed: accents.

Over the past six-plus seasons, "Game of Thrones" has introduced fans to close to 200 characters. Nearly all of them speak with some variation of an English or Scottish accent, though there are a few exceptions. However, few actors are using their natural voices, and are instead doing an accent that fits where in Westeros their character is from. 

Here are 13 "Game of Thrones" characters who sound nothing like the actors who portray them:

Oberyn Martell

Though he was born in Chile, Pedro Pascal was raised in the Southern California and Texas, and sounds nothing like his onscreen persona.

Davos Seawroth

Liam Cunningham was born in Dublin, Ireland, though you wouldn't be able to tell from the Geordie accent he does while playing Davos.

Bronn

Bronn actor Jerome Flynn is from southern England and has an upper-class English accent, but does a convincing northern English accent in the show.
