I also hate the southern accent thing. I was born in North Carolina and have travelled in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Northern Florida (The farthest south the accent goes is about Jacksonville, then it starts to get yankee and by Miami it is New York) and Verginia. The accents are all completely different. Kind of like "Steel Magnolias" where the women from the same town all had different accents. Bad

By the way, Kevin Costner isn't an actor. He has a degree in Finance.
