And I sort of took a book and I read something and I closed the book and I didn't remember it.
So I called from the hospital.
I made a call to Tony Gilroy, who was the.
showrunner and writer of Andor.
I was in the middle of doing them.
I had done the first episodes and I hadn't done the second season.
And I also owed Denise Villeneuve, who was going to do Dune II, a phone call.
And I talked to them and I said, I cannot remember anything, any lines.
And they said, don't worry, we'll fix it.
And they said, take it easy.
Come in and do what you need to.
And there's a lot of actors that are actually using this technique, which is an earpiece and a prompter.
But I found it rather difficult if you wanted to be precise in terms of rhythm and of the rhythm of the scene.
And to me, rhythm is very important.
Because you use it as a tool, the way, the rhythm you make in the scene.
And I had to have the guy, the prompter, put his lines on top of my fellow actor.
He has to speak at the same time or she has to speak at the same time as the other actor for me to be able to put the cue where I want.
So I'm listening to him and I'm listening to the fellow actor and then I react to the fellow actor's line.
