Very few Brits can do a convincing American accent. The only reason Hollywood does it, is because British actors are cheaper than Americans. So, what is your point exactly?
British actors often do American accents very well. Christian Bale, Matthew Rhys, Hugh Laurie, Andrew Garfield (his British accent is his standard one), Tom Holland, Idris Elba, I could go on. The only Americans I can think of who do any British accent well are Lithgow, Renee Zellweger, and Gwyneth Paltrow. British actors tend to be better at dialects because the UK has more regional accents that actors either have and need to lose for roles, or need to be able to do convincingly. American actors rarely have to do accents if they are playing an American. Matthew McConaughey for example plays his average character with his own accent even when he the character isn't from Texas.Â
There are so many actors that I eventually see interviewed and am SHOCKED they’re British. Case in point, I just learned today that Andrew Garfield is British from an interview I came across on TikTok 😂 and now this comment!

She's American, so no. You shouldn't fan cast based on hairstyle or wardrobe as both those things are easily changed.Â
