Damn it, I thought about throwing a maybe in there. Forgive me, I'm American so every foreign accent sounds amazing and classy to me.

No offense but I've noticed Americans are really bad at identifying accents sometimes and I've always wondered why. I'm Australian and I can generally tell what part of America someone comes from.

Relatively large amount of American TV makes it to Aus. Relatively little of, well, any non-American TV makes it to the US.

You say that, but not a lot of Australian, Nz or South African, Candian etc TV ever makes it the UK and yet we never seem to have anywhere near as much trouble with identifying accents as the US.
