If you were to come here and speak to people, no one would run. Most Americans I know of are drawn to people with European and some Asian accents. Really drawn. They'll want to hear you speak more. No villainy there. It's just a movie issue, and you Brits aren't alone in that typecasting. Russians, Germans and other Eastern Europeans are also generally villains, as are Japanese and now, of course, anyone of Middle Eastern descent. Americans are nationalistic and paranoid where their cinema is concerned, but they can't resist the lure of a sexy accent.
Mazes and Monsters is a great movie. I love it. I haven't seen it in yonks though. But I've known people who game who get that into their characters. One friend gets so upset if her characters die that she cries and is inconsolable for days.
Actually...
