James Maslow is Working on His British Accent for 'Sherlock Holmes'

James Maslow looks hot while attending AOL BUILD Presents: Stream Con NYC at AOL Studios on Friday (October 30) in New York City.

The 25-year-old actor/singer recently opened up about starring as Watson in the upcoming traveling stage adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.

“We spent the first week reading, and tackling the British accent is something new for both David [Arquette] and me,” James told The Los Angeles Times. “Watson has stereotypically been portrayed as a little bit more upper class. But I had to find a counterpoint to David‘s Sherlock by taking Watson and giving him a little bit more grit. He’s a little more South London, still educated enough to be a doctor, of course, but didn’t necessarily come with the best background.”
