His English tutor in London was an Irishman, and son of James Collins later mentioned that Lenin spoke with Rathmines accent. HG Wells remarked "Irish" accent in general.

In reference to the OP, a character learns to speak English after watching a show hosted by Howard Cosell who has a very specific voice.

People these days don't respond as well to a movie making light of suicide... But I'm not one of them, that move is amazing. Also...
