The British actor plays Tim Ratliff in the latest season of the award-winning anthology series, the troubled patriarch of a family from Durham, North Carolina.
“The internet exploded with people going, ‘This is the worst accent I’ve ever heard in my life’,” the former Harry Potter star claimed. “But then there’s also people from Durham commenting, ‘Spot-on’. Or, ‘What are you talking about? He sounds exactly like my dad, or my dentist, or my swim coach’, or whomever.
“So, I feel slightly validated, although I can’t pretend that those thousand little barbs don’t hurt.”
Jason added: “I want to write back to each of them individually, and go, ‘Listen to this sample, then compare it to my voice’. But it’s not really my job, and I shouldn’t be reading their comments.”
The White Lotus continues on Mondays on Now and Sky in the UK.
