I think the people who complain about such a thing are missing the entire point of being an actor.
Actors get paid to perform as someone else. Where they come from shouldn't matter in the slightest. I'm sure there are many american actors who can put on a british accent and do the job no problem.
But you're right. People will end up complaining regardless.
