I guess this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise since they both grew up and lived in German-speaking neighboring countries before coming to America but the great Austrian school economist Ludwig von Mises and Albert Einstein had very similar German-American accents.
To me, it seems more than the accents, though, it is a strong similarity in cadence and tone.
With Mises having a bit stronger voice
Here is a snippet of Einstein speaking at the 4:18 mark.
Here is a sample of Mises speaking.
Both their voices are much different than, say, Friedrich Hayek.
