Colin Farrell Talks Doing 'Tricky' Russian Accent For 'Way Back' - MTV: "Colin Farrell plays an intimidating Russian prisoner in the World War II drama 'The Way Back,' about a group of inmates who escape the Siberian Gulag and must walk more than 4,000 miles to freedom. We caught up with the Irish actor recently and we talked about how he tackles foreign accents and other languages for roles like his 'Way Back' character, Valka.
'Accents are tricky sometimes, all the time, potentially,' Farrell admitted to MTV News. 'They either keep you away or they bring you in. They're either a conduit into a character or they're a fence that keeps you at a distance that you don't want to be,' he said.
Farrell explained that he worked with a dialect coach and read Russian poetry to get a feel for the language, which eventually began to flow rather naturally for him."
