The Role Of My Agent Has Just Been To Get Me In The Room. If I Can Get In The Room - Say The Character Is Just A Charming Man Who Lives Next Door - Then I'll Walk In There And Be As Charming As I Can And They Will Think To Themselves, 'i Don't See Why We Can't Cast Him.

Part Of What Makes An Accent Is Understanding Why People Speak That Way - You Have To Understand The Culture.
