I just watched the deleted beginning of the movie and when ajax says 'It'll just slow us down.' He sounds irish. Am I hearing things or am I right?

oh yeah i remeber that he says "the worst kind" but worst sounds like woistRanchgal wrote: It may sound that way to some of us, but I think that he was just really trying to exaggerate and get a really harsh Brooklyn/NY accent to it.
I get the same feeling when he mimics one of the workers at CI that he visited with to get some background feel into his portrayal of Ajax.
Isn't there a semi-large Irish population in Boston though? Regardless of weather he is or isn't (though I doubt it) I agree that it sounds a bit Irish but I don't know so much about New York accents so I guess that's whyKillerMime wrote: He's defintiely not Irish. He was born in Boston. But I can hear what you're talking about. He does that Irish thing where his pitch rises at the end of the sentence.
There is a big Irish-American population in Boston, but a Boston accent sounds nothing like an Irish one. I think it was just the way Remar decided to say it on that particular take.prozium wrote:Isn't there a semi-large Irish population in Boston though?
