In a recent interview with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations, Pedro Pascal, known for his role in 'The Last of Us,' shared his unique method for memorizing lines. Pascal, alongside fellow actors Billy Crudup, Matthew Macfadyen, and Kieran Culkin, discussed their approaches to learning scripts as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Pascal's unconventional memorization technique involves writing down the first letter of each word from his lines on a sheet of paper, creating a seemingly chaotic array of letters. He humorously referred to this process as 'psycho,' acknowledging the meticulous effort it requires. Despite the initial appearance of gibberish, Pascal's method allows him to quickly internalize his lines, especially in challenging or time-sensitive situations.
