X files Scully's accent
Hello everyone,
While watching X-files series these days I couldn't get rid of the feeling that Scully's intonations and pronunciation somehow sound British (not all the time, but sporadically). After a quick search I found out that the actress actually lived in London from 2 to 11 years old, and when she moved back to the USA, she was mocked at school because of her British accent, so that she rapidly adapted the Midwestern accent. However, her parents continued to have a flat in London where she spent summers.
Now, the question is: how do native American and British speakers perceive her accent in these series? Do the American speakers feel there's something British about her accent? And vice versa.
Thanks in advance,
Elvira

I'm British and I'd watched A LOT of X-Files before I found out that Gillian Anderson has an English accent (sometimes!). I was very surprised, I would never have guessed that she wasn't born-and-raised in the US. See this clip for her different accents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrQ-RlPDPFo.

Although I never watched X files, I never heard anyone speculate about her accent. I think she put on the Brit accent since she was in GB doing the interview. Who really knows, she's an actress. It's what they are trained to do.

US:
She sounded completely American when the X-Files were airing.
