      Not only him but another main cast member, Kelly Macdonald who played Sheriff Kerry Kane, is Scottish.

        Okay that makes sense. I was confused with how intense her Midwest accent was. It was fake gotcha

          Yeah, she has a thick Scottish accent so she was working hard to channel that Midwest accent for the show, you can still hear her Scottish lilt come through. Changing the pronounciation for an accent is one thing but changing your lilt (melody/rhythem/cadence) is much harder. It made for an interesting combo on the show.
