In my experience yes.
The Doctor's voice

Being on opposite sides of a large country, I imagine there is.
It wasn't till E03 that I got to hear M'Benga speak more. He does have a very distinctive voice. I'm used to various African accents having a lot of friends from there, but apart from that he has a really quiet authority to him. A very cool customer.
Who's to say that Nurse Chapel wasn't "Australian"?
O_O
I'm sure if you look up Nurse's named Chapel in Australia, you'll probably find a hit or two in the Nurse Index.
He had a presence about him. He was like that in Daredevil too.
Oh, certainly: "Caucasian"/"white" (jeez, neither term is truly accurate) individuals can have varied ethnic backgrounds. The "canon" accent of a given television character, however, is a bit of sticky issue.
Accents are mutable.
Right now he's my least favourite character by far, because I've been seriously struggling to make out what he's saying. I'm hoping I get better at it, or they get better at recording him, or something, otherwise I'm going to have to start turning on the subtitles.
I mean, it would not be a continuity violation if they were to reveal that Christine grew up in Queensland and that her accent gradually shifted over time from Australian to American Midwestern. But also I think Jess Bush's American accent sounds fine. If they were to reveal she was raised in Australia as a child and her accent sometimes reverts I think that would also be fine.
I rarely see a doctor now even in a big office. Usually Nurse Practioners, and Physicians Assistants. One or two doctors probably are sufficient.
I assume M'Benga has a "M'Benga" of his own.
You can have a different ethnic background but still have the same look. I know not everyone on the show is actually from California but they all have this kinda clean cut perfect skinned Hollywood look. Everyone on the crew looks like a 90s Gap model to me.
Maybe that is part of the benefits package of living in the UFP / StarFleet?
Ya maybe. Still think the crew could do with a few more worn or grizzled looking people.
If UFP / StarFleet is as much of a Utopia as everybody within the show claims it is.
Nobody would ever be "Over-Worked" because there would be "Work-Life Balance" under most normal circumstances.
The only times that would happen is in dire emergency situations when you are short of staff and something critical needs to get done and nobody else can help pitch in, so you got to put in extra time to finish whatever it is you're doing.
O'Brien would disagree with the claims of this Utopia I reckon. And Meaney is exactly the kind of actor I think is missing looks wise.
