But not as 007 sounding.

Sounds like a Germanic pronunciation, as in rho'-deh und schvartz. The terminal "eh" could be linked internally in the brain's audio processing center to conflate this with a "drop the 'r' " accent (e.g., Bostonian, over here) to perceive a terminal R where there isn't one.

He is probably from New York. They add an r to a lot of the things they say. It is a really stupid "Idear", and it likely gets called part of their accent, but I find it annoying and stupid.

The "e" sound in German is like the "e" in common-spoken "the" (not "thee" as the fairies are apt to say :-) ...Jim Thompson

Not always. When at the end of a word then it's like "the". Except in Northern Germany or certain parts of Bavaria, that is ...

Also in certain syllables. But you can have words with two "e" in there and each is different. For example "Ferien" which is the word for vacation time, when school is not in session. The first "e" is pronounced like the "e" in "venom", the second one as in "the". In German "e" is never spoken like in "thee". All this can drive German learners up the wall.

Rohde.

Can't speak for any one else, but i hear it as well. I happened to have taken three years of German in high school and learned it well enough = that i can assert that is more like a Scottish brogue that any Germanic influenced pronunciation.

It's not Scottish to append an "R" sound, it's Irish... or Newww Yawwwwk :-) ...Jim Thompson

Rohde.

that

Could be. Maybe with some Bostonian added in.
