The 48-year-old actor, who recently landed the role of Mr. Fantastic in Marvel’s Fantastic Four remake, participated in a virtual panel discussion for SAG-AFTRA.
Pascal was chatting to Succession stars Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen and The Morning Show star Billy Crudup, with moderator Scott Mantz.
He revealed to his fellow SAG-AFTRA Award nominees (who are nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series) how he learns his lines.

“This is like the psycho first letter of every word,” Pascal explained, as Culkin was clearly shocked by this, while Billy Crudup tried to figure it out.
—Is that what you do next to the real text? although Pascal said that was not the case.
‘I’ll take it… so you’ll just see the pile of letters, right? Basically, I’m the Unabomber,’ Pascal joked before trying to explain it again.
“I guess you use the first letter of each one in these towers or columns, and it’s a very, very tedious way to learn the line so you don’t have to make decisions,” he explained.
“Like you’re in a hurry and you’re trying to learn a text really quickly… it’s not even an artistic thing,” Pascal explained.
“It’s just this very technical form that I had to acquire because of that terrible experience of forgetting my lines,” Pascal admitted.
It was recently confirmed that the actor will play Reed Richards, aka Mr Fantastic, in Marvel’s new Fantastic Four reboot.
