Pedro Pasquale he’s on all our screens these days, leading two major television franchises, in which he stars The Mandalorian AND The last of usas well as giving us an amazing performance in the comedy The unbearable weight of a colossal talentand landing exciting roles in upcoming films Gladiator 2 and Marvel Fantastic Four. He’s a busy actor with a lot on his plate and he revealed his strategy for memorizing his lines for said projects.
In a recent fundraiser for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation (via GamesRadar), Pascal revealed that he memorizes his lines by writing the first letter of each word in a sentence, likening his style to that of a serial killer. Pascal found a physical example of his manual work and showed the interviewer a page of his notebook filled with letters and dashes in columns. He explained:
“It’s like a psychopath, the first letter of every word. You see the letters, right? Basically, I’m the Unabomber. You use the first letter of each in these towers or columns, I guess, and it’s a very, very boring way to learn the line so you don’t have to make choices. It’s not even artistic, it’s just a really technical way that I had to acquire because of that terrible experience of forgetting my lines.”
This seems like a good way to remember each word once you have a general idea of what you’re trying to say. Pascal is a good actor and has proven his abilities, so he must be doing something right!
