ajax sounds a bit irish

[Bourbonnais_HI_HAT]

I just watched the deleted beginning of the movie and when ajax says 'It'll just slow us down.' He sounds irish. Am I hearing things or am I right?

I think he sounds irish too. i don't know if he is actually irish though.

me and my brother joke about this all the time. no offence to Ajax. but this is a good find because i thought i was the only one who noticed this !

He's defintiely not Irish.  He was born in Boston.  But I can hear what you're talking about.  He does that Irish thing where his pitch rises at the end of the sentence.

It may sound that way to some of us, but I think that he was just really trying to exaggerate and get a really harsh Brooklyn/NY accent to it.
I get the same feeling when he mimics one of the workers at CI that he visited with to get some background feel into his portrayal of Ajax.

Isn't there a semi-large Irish population in Boston though? Regardless of weather he is or isn't (though I doubt it) I agree that it sounds a bit Irish but I don't know so much about New York accents so I guess that's why

There is a big Irish-American population in Boston, but a Boston accent sounds nothing like an Irish one.  I think it was just the way Remar decided to say it on that particular take.

[Mugen92]

yeah i agree with u killer he prob just wanted to sound like that

As for Remar's Bostonian origins, when he says his famous "popsicle" line, one can certainly detect the distinctive Boston dialect.
