“I had just finished playing the Cook in a production of Mother Courage and I did it with a Scottish accent.
“I’ll do the monologue in a Scottish accent I decided, even though that wasn’t how I had prepared it,” he told the New York Times.
“I’m not saying what I saw was a sign but maybe I did take it that way, and that helped me.”
