Mel Gibson was born in the United States and moved to Australia when he was 12. So maybe he only spoke "Aussie" in his early film roles.
In earlier Mel Gibson movies, such as Lethal Weapon, you can hear Gibson struggling with an American accent and the "aussie" coming out. American or not, he had a down under accent. I think he got some good voice coaching or the "American" came back.
The first time I saw Minnie Driver, which was on the Lifetime movie Return to Zero, I assumed she was a Jewish American actress from New York. I was wrong.

Funny, I just thought of this thread last night when Minnie Driver was on Who Do You Think You Are. I had almost forgotten she was British, since she's been playing Americans now for years. I thought, hey I need to add her to that "talking American" thread, but you beat me to it!
Jamie Bamber (Lee "Apollo" Adama) from Battlestar Galactica reboot.
Born in London but it didn't fit his character's story on show, so that accent wasn't heard there.
