He lived in another place, on another planet. “He rose to become the most powerful person in the universe.”he indicated.
“I was happy to use my own (Northern Irish) accent because I haven't used it that much on the big screen. When I went to the audition, they asked me to read the script in my own accent, so that's what I did.”
