Pedro Pascal has revealed his unconventional technique for mastering his scripts, offering a fascinating glimpse into his preparatory process for roles.
During an engaging roundtable hosted by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, alongside fellow nominees for the SAG Awards’ Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series, Pascal shared his singular approach to memorizing his lines.
With a light-hearted comparison, Pascal revealed, “I might display what looks like a bizarre habit to learn my lines. Picture this – a method that makes me resemble the Unabomber,” he playfully remarked during the video call, which also featured talents like Billy Crudup, Matthew Macfadyen, and Kieran Culkin.
He elaborated on his technique, “It involves crafting these vertical sequences or columns using the first letter of each word. Far from a creative exercise, it’s a meticulous and somewhat mechanical strategy I’ve adopted to engrain the lines in my memory, avoiding the panic of forgetting them on set.”
This revelation comes as Pascal gears up for a significant role in the Marvel Universe, portraying Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in the anticipated The Fantastic Four movie. An exciting ensemble cast accompanies him, including Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Beyond the realm of superhuman feats, fans can look forward to seeing Pascal in the upcoming second season of The Last of Us and the eagerly awaited Gladiator sequel, promising a thrilling continuation of his versatile career.
