Just watched the ep of Without a Trace with Sam's sister (yay, Molly Price!).

Was very amused when the actor, Rick Peters, playing the adoptive father, slipped into an Australian accent (especially on the word 'unknown'). Just looked him up.

Rick was born in a Detroit suburb in June of 1966 (on his father's birthday, no less). In August of '68 the family moved to England because of a work transfer (Rick's dad worked for one of the "Big 3" auto manufacturers. In 1974 they moved back to Michigan, then to Australia in 1977 (Rick was 11). Five years later, they moved to California.

So his accent is a little bastardised. Wonder whether being in a scene with Poppy and Anthony caused it ;)

He also played Hannah's father in s2 of Veronica Mars.
