Below is an excerpt:

Wetpaint Entertainment: So how did Vaughn end up being Scottish?

Charlie Bewley: I think it was a nod from Jose Molina who was the writer of the episode. He’s a big fan of Craig Ferguson, and he said that it was a nod to him and where he comes from. So they told me this literally like three days before I was going out. I’ve done a Scottish accent before. I mean, everyone’s got a stereotypical one, but I took the challenge on. It’s interesting. It’s always good to get out of your own voice. So I think it’s a great way to commit to a character. So I just put the effort into it.

You put the effort in for those three days.

Right. (Laughs) The interesting thing with the Scottish accent is I could have gone all the way, but it would have needed subtitles because you wouldn’t have been able to understand what I was saying. So I had to really enunciate the words which gave it a sort of, little bit more of a cosmopolitan Scottish accent, slightly more modern-day, easy-to-understand accent when really what I wanted to do was go full-on Trainspotting and really confuse the hell out of everyone. There’s some places in Scotland and in England that you just cannot understand what people are saying. But even in ADR, they were like, “Okay. We need that crisper.”
