Why would anyone cast JK Simmons as a Brit?

Because all the Brits seem to be hogging up all the good American roles

They are not British. It's a story about a Norwegian detective in Norway, and the movie is filmed on location in Oslo. They are talking English because it's for an international audience.

I tend to love Scandinavian detective shows, movies and books, so I'll give this a shot for sure.

Really no point in talking with a British accent, unless they want everyone to have a somewhat similar accent so it doesn't distract from the plot.

Americans are so bad with European accents, it doesn't really matter.

They all just sound "European."

Then why on earth is JK Simmons using a British accent?
