He said: "I'm not a method actor in any way but I stayed in the accent for the duration -- so sadly for my friends and family had to listen to me put on a silly voice evenings and weekends for a couple of years."
However, there were certain occasions when he would drop the accent. He explained with a laugh: "So I stay in the American accent, you know, apart from the occasional Friday night martini with Stanley Tucci, in which case my Scottish accent comes out, but the rest of the time I keep training that accent. I don't want anything taking away from the audience believing who the character is so I just worked hard to make sure the sounds were as spot on as they could be."
