There's a difference between an austrian and a german accent...

So for America I agree with Harrison Ford. He's basically how America wants to see itself, the bad boy rebel with a heart of gold who all the ladies love. Indiana Jones AND Han Solo? How could you be more American?
I also see a bunch of people talking about the UK, and I kind of think that's a problem - avatars for England, Scotland, and whichever Ireland is in the uk, would all be different IMO. For Scotland, I would think it would have to be Sean Connery. He basically already did define how the rest of the world thinks of Scots.

The only other actor I could think of was Ewan McGregor XD

No love for Stalone? =( EDIT: Nice pick below.

I struggled with this for a while, but then it came to me in waves of glorious... obviousness. I'm ashamed I didn't think of him earlier.
![[image loading]](http://www.spoonfed.co.uk/system/images/67270/default/stephen-fry.jpg)
Stephen Fry
I really have no idea how widely exposed he is outside of the UK, but he's a national treasure and I can't get enough of him.
1) He's really, really intelligent. It's not acting, but he is known for hosting a panel show, QI, which is very entertaining and based all around our misconceptions and our knowledge in general. I know it's shown in some other countries, so maybe people have heard of it. Seriously, if you have a localized one, check out ours. Stephen's just so smart it's unreal.
2) He speaks very frankly and seems to focus heavily on common sense. I like that.
3) He was in one of my favourite series of all time, Blackadder. It's hilarious, and I recommend all series (except maybe the 1st, which is completely different in style as they changed the characters a bit in the 2nd and onwards and it worked much better.) It also has Hugh Laurie (i.e. House) and Rowan Atkinson (the main character, Blackadder, otherwise known as Mr. Bean) so there's no shortage of good actors in it.
4) He's overcome tremendous personal hardship to get to where he is today. He's been on the brink of taking his own life before, and still suffers from bipolar disorder. But he didn't let that stop him being goddamn awesome.
He's just such an awesome bloke.
Offtopic: + Show Spoiler +It really bugs me when people just post a picture of someone and nothing else. :S

Good pick, but if it really has to be an actor, i'd say Jang Dong-gun.
Amazing performance in Taegeukgi. Can't wait to see his newest movie.

You should have included Clash of the Titans and King Arthur. But I'll accept it. :-P
Maybe Nicolai Coster Waldau
Kingdom of Heaven, Firewall, Wimbledon, but most importantly Game of Motherfucking Thrones
Denmark of course  And I don't care that he bangs his sister in GoT

Keanu Reeves for Canada, can't believe it hasn't been said already.
+ Show Spoiler + Man of the moment Keanu Reeves has shown his generosity by giving away £50 million of his earnings from the Matrix sequels. The 38-year-old decided to hand over the money to the unsung heroes of the sci-fi blockbusters - the costume and special effects teams.
Keanu is expected to make a total of £70 million from the films, thanks to a deal which guarantees him a 15 per cent profit-share, so he will still net around £20 million. Asked about his prodigious act of generosity, the actor said he already had enough cash. "Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries," he declared.
And it's not the first time the Beirut-born star has shown his jaw-dropping benevolence. While shooting the films in Australia he amazed the team of stuntmen by giving them each a £6,000 Harley Davidson motorcycle. And the actor, whose sister has leukaemia, has also channelled millions into cancer research.
His gift to the Matrix series' 29 behind-the-scenes whiz-kids will see each of them receiving £1.75 million.
He seems like a nice guy. Aside from him being generous and nice, he's also immortal.

Yes he is austrian, but with how long he's lived in america, and the fact that he was the governor of california, I'd say he's more of an american now.
So is Ridley Scott American aswell? I dont think so, he was born literally 5 minutes from where I live and although he has lived in America for years and years, he is still British and always will be.

If he can't become president, he is not American. End of discussion
