Style, charm, and a quaint sense of history. There are other reasons British actors do so well on our shores, of course. For one, they have a historical attachment to the theater that goes back to the days of Shakespeare.
A number of already-established stars had a strong '70s too, especially Harris, Connery, Christie, Redgrave, Burton, Sellers, Finney, Peter Finch, Oliver Reed and (to general surprise) Joan Collins. They had their ups and downs to be sure, but all were stars at the beginning of the decade and remained so at the end.
Which British actor has adopted a unique voice or accent for each character he has played? Daniel Day-Lewis has done that over the length and breadth of his film career. His attention to detail overall is of course legendary but it's always been fun to hear his different vocal characterizations.
