Apparently lets a hidden Irish accent kick in in ME3. I looked up the character's info, and yep, he's from Ireland. Really wasn't apparent in 1 or 2, at least to my ears.

They didn't reuse his accent from 1 and 2. It felt like they said "It sounded too cartoony, make it more real".
I hate that.

However, it could be toned-down similar to how public speakers (at least in English) aim for a Mid-Atlantic style. In layman's terms, it's the "vanilla" of accents. Still an accent, but it's very plain on purpose for ease of use and understanding. Nothing against other accents, obviously, but maybe that's what Udina is doing, and only "slips" when under emotional duress. Like I said, just a guess. Still satisfying to shoot him for trying to pull a coup.

There's only one site that says he's from Ireland, it's never mentioned in the games and none of the devs ever said he's from Ireland
As far as I'm aware the only irish actor in the games is Drack's voice actor Stanley Townsend

How about Donavan Hock, though? There's a guy who keeps you guessing. His accent shifts three or four times during one sentence. He's a master of subterfuge.

Hmm I like how we all hear so many different accents with him though. Maybe that was the point?

I just looked up that VA, he also voiced Donnelly, Veetor, and Glyph. I knew he was Donnelly. I heard that one immediately. I didn't connect Veetor and Glyph, probably because of the electronic manipulation for Quarians and the drone. I'm going to listen carefully for it this time. I'm early in a ME2 playthrough, so I'll get to hear both in the near future.
