How true to you and to genuine Afro-American people do you think Gunn's way of speaking is?
Well it was always absolutely true. I come from the theatre and there you don’t change a single word so you know we approach the work the same way here.
Every now and again I’ll change a little something just because I feel like saying it a certain way that might come out of me a little stronger but I use the words that they give me which are nine out of ten times right on point.
This character is not any sort of stereotypical thing so the way that he speaks in his vernacular and it comes out in different ways.
He can use references to anything, I mean one minute he’s talking about questions that people couldn’t answer that they watch on (American quiz show) Jeopardy and another minute he’s using street slang, so he's all over the place.
