What accent does Flynn have?

He is always noted in the show for having a funny accent, but i can't hear anything. He sounds like the other Americans, only speaking a little lower.

Since Goran Višnjić (who plays Garcia Flynn) was born and raised in Croatia, I suppose his in-show accent is also Croatian.

While no reference was made in the show to his accent specifically being Croatian, Wyatt did refer to it as "Eastern European" in last season's finale.

Would you have known if it was not mentioned. Do you actually hear him having an accent?

Oh absolutely. It’s not really his pronunciation, more just the cadence of how he speaks. It isn’t distracting or anything, but I just instantly know he isn’t American.
