calling someone's accent British makes little sense.

Very true, but Americans are conditioned in far too many movies to know that the bad guy/evil genius speaks with a "British accent" ... by which they probably mean "sounds like Hugh Grant" as I can't imagine them coping with a stronger accent like Scouse or Glaswegian at all.
