Pedro Pascal‘s mind seems to be working on a different level … a crazy one according to the actor himself who shared the “psycho” way he learns lines.
The actor sat down with a few of his colleagues for a fundraiser put on by SAG-AFTRA and posted to their YouTube channel Friday. Alongside Pedro … ‘Morning Show’ actor Billy Crudup and “Succession” stars Matthew Macfadyenand Kieran Culkin.
The group talked all about the acting craft with Pedro mentioning the wild way he learns his lines — and even whipped out some evidence to show his colleagues.
Check out the clip … Pascal grabs a piece of paper covered in what looks more like the binary code behind “The Matrix” than any actual tool to learn lines — and a couple of the other interviewees clearly don’t know what to make of it either with Culkin calling it “gibberish.”
Pedro admits it’s a “psycho” strategy and jokes he’s actually The Unabomber before explaining it’s every first letter of a word he’s supposed to say organized in columns.
Pascal went on to say it’s a tedious way of drilling the information, but works for him … but — from his pal Kieran’s shocked expression while he explained it — this doesn’t appear to be a common practice at all.
Worth noting… the reason SAG sat down with this particular group is ’cause they’re all up for the “Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series” Screen Actors’ Guild trophy — a pretty damn talented roundtable.
Pascal’s bizarre memorization technique’s clearly working BTW … on top of being an award-season darling this winter, Marvel just announced him as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in future “Fantastic 4” projects — dude’s securing nominations and the bag.
Seems like Pedro won’t change his ways anytime soon … though hopefully he won’t land on a government watchlist for ’em.
