Asked to audition for Rings of Power with a very specific British accent.
I was told with this British accent.
I was like, okay, great.
So I hired a dialect coach.
I did two sessions with the dialect coach, like two hours each session.
And at the end of the second one, she was like, I don't think you got it.
And I was like, I agree with you.
Can we hear it?
Not even remotely.
You can't.
No, because I can't do it at all.
And I literally called my agents and I was like, yeah, you can turn it down.
There's just no way.
We're not going to get there.
And truthfully, I was like, I'm underwater, you know, with that.
I couldn't wrap my head around it.
I know, right?
Wouldn't that be funny?
Yeah, if I'd done it as like a rat-a-tat-tat.
The Grandier!
