“So I told him that I had taken some inspiration from that character for the series I was doing. He told me: ‘That’s good. I’m glad I could help you’“.
Luna also had to spend time perfecting Boro’s accent, who is from Guyana. The interpreter studied in England and has spent a lot of time in the United States.
