John McCusker... the New Orleanian.

Relating to my previous post's point of Hollywood portrayals getting the New Orleans accent wrong, the narration is an example of what someone from New Orleans sounds like.

Ah. Well, if I could stream video on my dial-up, I'd definitely watch that. (And would have realized he wasn't the Scotsman. ;-)
