“I had watched a lot of Monty Python when I was a kid, so I had an English accent in my back pocket even before I started acting. I came from theatre and when you do theatre it’s really not abnormal to do accents. You can work more if you can do accents. So I had a functional accent for most things I would be cast as. I mean, I didn’t have a Japanese or Congo, but European accents I had a functional start for.”
