You guys that live in the US might have to bear (bare?) with me on this one.
I have only been to the US 3 times so don't know it very well and realise what a huge country it is. When I hear and American accent, it's just an American accent to me I don't differentiate much. Well except when I watched Fargo and suddenly thought "wow they sound like Scandanavians....."
Anyway I have watched a few Owen Wilson films recently (just watching Marley and Me) and his voice reminds me of Jimmy Stewart. I assume it's because they both drawl a little and not that they have the same accent as I read Wilson was born in Texas and Stewart was Indiana.
The only weird thing is that they both reminded me a little of the New England accent the reader in Drunken Fireworks but neither of them are from anywhere near there.
I'm probably just being a dumb foreigner.
