I always knew that not all New Yorkers said "hoid" instead of heard. I'd noticed for a long time the different celebrities with varied New York accents. Robert De Nero and Al Pacino are both Italian American New Yorkers, I think Ralph Macchio and Joe Pesci too. Jon Lovitz and Woody Allen have Manhattan accents, but I'm not completely sure, you correct me since you're a native New Yorker. Other New York accents I've noticed are Danny DeVito, Bruce Willis, Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, Leslie Ann Warren, Marisa Tomei (she's Jersey, I think), and Fran Drescher (her's very nasal). I know that them, and others are from somewhere within the vicinity of New York, but not totally sure which specific part.
I'm pretty sure there could be a Manhatten accent. NYC is very diverse so there are many types of languages and accents in general.
I did have this random guy call me once who I think was either from Queens or the Bronx and after spending like 5 minutes convincing him that I wasn't some girl he was looking for, he finally realized that I "sounded" like someone from Brooklyn because apparently from what he said all us Brooklynies talk the same.
I don't watch alot of more modern shows and movies, which explains how almost every celebrity on my list is from 1980s and 90s movies and shows, except the Sopranos which I like which ran until about 2008.
A question for you New Yorkers

Well, Danny DeVito has been big in the 21st century with It's always sunny in Philadelphia, which I watched some of the episodes of.
