How's it going lurkers? Hopefully, everyone is enjoying these Irish and Saint Patrick's Day themed blogs, so far. Every time I work on these blogs, I always learn something new.
As I began writing these blogs last week, I stumbled upon this animated vlog about Irish accents. I have not heard many people with Irish accents.
Normally, I hear those with Australian, British, Mexican, Cuban, and Asian accents. There have been shows and movies that I have watched in the past with American actors playing Irish roles.
Even though I have known for the last 30 years, that U2 is an Irish band, I never paid much attention to Bono's accent.
Years ago, I did manage to hear the late Glenn Quinn's Irish accent. I was amazed to learn that he was Irish because he spent 7 STRAIGHT YEARS playing as "Mark Healy" on Roseanne.

It was not until Glenn Quinn played the character, Doyle on Angel, that I discovered he was Irish; When the late Glenn Quinn joined the cast as "Doyle" on Angel in 1999, his Irish accent really surprised me. This only proved, that he was a very talented actor gone too soon.
Since today's Cartoon Sunday blog is about Irish accents, here is an animated YouTube vlog from Facts Media LLC. explaining about the different types.
