Anderson became famous playing Dana Scully, an American, but most of her recent roles, including those in War and Peace and Sex Education, have required her to speak with an English accent. So is she American or British? The truth is, she is a bit of both. Gillian has dual nationality. She was born in the USA but moved to England soon after, remaining there until she was 11. After moving back to the US and spending her teens there, the actress became bidialectal, meaning she speaks comfortably and naturally with both an English and an American accent.
