I don't know man. I can see "acting classes" under hobbies on your CV not as a bad thing.

I believe employers might ask about it. if you tell them you are bettering your communications skills. It can only be a plus? Because this guys is using his spare time to better himself, instead of watching firefly over and over again in hope they will continue the series.

If this conversation happened, you should be glad. That does not sound like the type of place you would want to work at in the first place.

That doesn't sound like a very likely reaction. The acting classes are working, so if A really can't tolerate B's accent, why not just tell him to keep taking those lessons and practicing? Maybe offer to pay for them.
