I&#8217;m still, like, I can go over a script a thousand times on my own. I can still not have it when I walk on the set until I hear the people say it and we run it a couple times. I had this one scene where it was, like, cut it into three scenes. But when I got to the set, they were like, \u2018We&#8217;ll put them all together.\u2019 And just the sheer putting-them-all-together just scrambled my brain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The &#8216;Scream&#8217; star recalled the time he appeared in the leading role of a play and almost had a &#8220;mental break&#8221; because he had so much trouble with getting his lines down. <\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;I did this play and I played Sherlock Holmes and I had an English accent and it was \u2014 oh, wow. I should never play that role. Just so not right for the bad kind of character&#8230;it was a comedic version, but still. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But it was so hard and I wasn&#8217;t off book yet. They invited, like, all of these schools. And the whole place is filled, and I&#8217;m not comfortable with the lines yet. I was so nervous, and, oh, man. It was like I had nearly had a mental break at that point. It was so scary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/david-arquette-opens-dyslexia-led-struggles-career-1404661.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15 August 2024 David Arquette struggles to learn lines because of his dyslexia.
