HIs kiwi accent kicks in when ever taking to his side of the family or when he visits New Zealand (or Aussie)<br/>it kicks in when he's amongst the ex pat (mainly Brits , kiwis and Aussies) playing football(soccer) or cricket<br/><br/>but otherwise his accent has a strong Californian feel to it since his parents are LA based and he had to learn to be understood so mimicked the accent of his school mates until it became a bit more natural ...kiwis speak very quickly in comparison to most American's so he's learnt to slow his speech ...even being drunk his accent wouldn't slip back to its New Zealand default<br/><br/>
