Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLauren Morais will play a villain named Lisa Molinari in the new Disney Plus series VisionQuest, and the BBC says she's doing it in a full Cardiff accent.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA supervillain with a Cardiff accent? I'm thrilled, I'm honestly the happiest I've been all week, and I haven't even seen the show.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm happier. I'd let her take over the world if she said it nicely.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNicely? Chip, I'd hand her the keys and a lovely lasagna.
