So, uh, stupid question, but I’m not from the US.
Do Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) and Michael Scott (Steve Carell) share a specific accent? If so, what is it?
They both get that same distinctive tone in their voice when excited; is that a thing from somewhere, or do they just kind of sound alike as humans?
Steve is from Massachusetts, and Bob is from Illinois.
I’m curious if Steve used to sound more New England, and possibly trained himself to speak in a more “neutral” Midwestern accent.
Although, they are the same age, so maybe it was a trend they picked up in the 70s?
