Trivia / Judas Kiss

• Fake American: The film has two quintessentially British actors playing Americans: Alan Rickman as Detective David Friedman and Emma Thompson as FBI Agent Sadie Hawkins. Both do a decent job on the accents, with Rickman speaking with an urbanized Southern drawl, while Thompson has a harsher East Coast accent (marking her as not a native of The Big Easy). Additionally, Australian Simon Baker (who would later find fame playing American Patrick Jane in The Mentalist) plays Junior, one of the major bad guys, with an uneducated Southern accent.
• Those Two Actors: Another outing for Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman, although in a rather different genre than they usually appear in.
