Despite being a Kiwi, Melanie used an Australian accent for But I'm A Cheerleader. We'll never know why she chose that accent, but she shared she had so much fun doing it and is grateful for the role because that's where she got to meet her now best friend Clea DuVall.
Now people know Lynskey as the kooky Rose, Charlie Sheen's “American” neighbor, who has a mad crush on him on CBS' “Two and a Half Men.” Few would realize, listening to Rose prattle on, that Lynskey has a thick New Zealand accent.
She provided the voice of Beatrice in the Cartoon Network miniseries Over the Garden Wall (2014), and Megan on the Disney XD series Future-Worm! (2016–18).
The biggest shock for many, though, is that accent. Lynskey's Kiwi accent is still as strong as ever despite several decades spent out of her home country. It's fair to say she sounds nothing like the roles most people would know her for.
The duo first met while filming 2013's The Big Ask and went on to star in two more movies together before announcing in February 2017 that they got engaged. Less than two years later, Us Weekly broke the news in January 2019 that the Yellowjackets star and the Parenthood alum welcomed their first child.
In an interview with Vulture in 2022, Lynskey opened up about her experience with Two and a Half Men. The actress said that she felt like her agency at the time didn't truly care about her, giving her auditions for stereotypical roles.
The difference between that timeless symbol of romance and our favorite wine varietal is as simple as an accent mark (specifically called an 'acute' accent) but have you actually tried to type the word “rosé” on your mobile device, tablet, or laptop?

Jason Ritter is the eldest child of John Ritter and Nancy Morgan. Born on Feb. 17, 1980, Jason followed in his dad's footsteps as a child actor, making his professional debut in the 1990 TV movie The Dreamer of Oz: The L. Frank Baum Story.
After finishing high school and trying college in New Zealand, Lynskey moved first to London and then, in 2000, to Los Angeles, where she spent a decade playing anodyne supporting roles in mainstream films (“Sweet Home Alabama,” “Coyote Ugly”) and the occasional indie (“Shattered Glass”).
Natalie Hershlag was born on June 9, 1981, in Jerusalem, to Jewish parents with roots in Poland, Russia, Austria, and Romania. She is the only child of Shelley (née Stevens), an American homemaker who works as Portman's agent, and Avner Hershlag, an Israeli-born gynecologist.
Clearly, in 2003 when Lynskey joined the show opposite Sheen and Jon Cryer, her pay was not up to scratch, getting her off to a bad start. Furthermore, when placed on Two and a Half Men, Lynskey was represented by an agency that did not value her as they should have, or see her true potential.
Later in Season 8, Charlie tells Rose that he loves her and they begin a romantic relationship with Charlie even taking her on a romantic getaway to Paris despite the fact that he still thinks she is truly married. Rose implied she killed Charlie in Paris after it is revealed she caught him having an affair.
In February 2011, however, CBS and Warner Bros. Television decided to end production for the rest of the eighth season after Sheen entered drug rehabilitation and made "disparaging" comments about the series' creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre.
