No, I've had some really horrible, hard jobs.

This was hard because this is the first time... I have a production company and this is the first production that we are producing, that I was a producer and an actor in.

The added little spicy thing that made it nearly impossible to do was the Russian.

Yeah.

I speak a lot of Russian.

I can speak those lines.

What I do notice now is that when I'm walking around, I hear Russian in a way that I've never acknowledged before.

You're like, oh, I think I know what you're saying.

Or like watching the Americans, I'm like, oh, I got that.

I knew what they were saying.

But no, I definitely do not speak the language Russian.

Yes.

I mean, we're saying I. I mean, Fabian, my incredible teacher for this.

And he and I built a process that was like a six-step process, which involves...

visualization it involves a memory palace but it also involves writing stories that then you put into the memory palace so you have a russian line and each word broken into its syllables you know

paw, let's say that's one of the sounds in one of the words in one of the sentences.

You think of a paw, you think of like a dog's paw.

So you're like, right, that's an image.

And then you create images for each of these sounds.

Then you make those into a story.
