The article says he was born in America, and raised in Switzerland. It doesn't say that
he lived in America long enough to acquire the accent.

I seem to recall that when they made the film, they wrote Ian Holm's (HW link there!
Just thought I'd mention that) character as a Frenchman, to make up for the fact that
Lambert coudn't speak English very well
