Pedro Pascal, known for his roles in hit shows like “Game of Thrones” and “The Mandalorian,” recently revealed his unique method for learning scripts during a SAG-AFTRA Foundation roundtable discussion. The roundtable included other SAG Awards nominees for Outstanding Performance by Male Actor in a Drama Series, such as Billy Crudup, Matthew Macfadyen, and Kieran Culkin. Pascal’s method, which he described as a “psycho first letter of every word,” caught the attention of the audience.
During the video call, Pascal humorously compared his method to that of the Unabomber, showcasing his dedication to mastering his lines. He explained that he uses the first letter of each word in the script to create towers or columns of letters. This meticulous approach helps him memorize his lines without making choices or relying on artistic interpretation. It’s a technical process that Pascal developed after a traumatic experience of forgetting his lines.
Interestingly, Pascal plans to continue using this method for his upcoming role as Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in the highly anticipated Marvel film, “The Fantastic Four.” This confirms his involvement in the superhero movie, where he will share the screen with talented actors like Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
But Pascal’s acting endeavors don’t stop there. Fans can also look forward to seeing him in the second season of “The Last of Us” and the Gladiator sequel. With such a busy schedule ahead, it’s no wonder Pascal has developed a unique and effective way to tackle his scripts.
