Anna Friel Fools Pushing Daisies Crew With Accent Act  4/1/08

British actress Anna Friel has shocked crew members on her hit U.S. show Pushing Daisies - who didn't realize she was English.

The star, who plays Charlotte Charles in the drama, speaks in an American accent for the part and keeps up the voice even when the cameras stop rolling.

And her method acting ways have tricked workers on the show, who assume she hails from the U.S.

She says, "My dad's a linguist, and I speak French and take great pride in my accents. I start a characterization with my voice and I don't want to lose it.

It's a form of superstition for me - and it helps me concentrate.

"A lot of people out there don't know I'm English. Now when I speak to the American crew in my normal voice they say, 'Will you stop doing that funny accent?'"
