![But I do have what's called mild cognitive impairment, which gets in the way and its effect is on the memory, of just being able not to remember lines. Even though I would prepare and know the lines and know them cold, actually getting in and getting all the ducks lined up was difficult to do. And I expressed that to the casting director, Cassandra, and she said, "Well, let me talk to Paul and I'll get back to you."
And we did a little audition. It was for another
part in the film, and I just had trouble even doing that without some help with the lines. So I was surprised when she came back to me and said,
"We'd love to have you still, but there's another role that we have in mind." And with that, I was
cast and came on the set for [a five-day] shoot.
And working with all these wonderful actors in the scene and with Paul that day, the first day, again, I couldn't remember my lines. Out of the few that l had, it would often be one word out l couldn't grab. So the first day, I was afraid it was going to happen, that this memory thing was going to get in my way.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kxlggazepmhqyrmswwuxunip/bafkreigqkjw7qawbx2bbq44zff7xrga3ughy4ytb5tar3rtf3so3txkkwy@jpeg)

Since his 2010 imprisonment, the director has been in an endless game of chicken with the Iranian regime. In his defiant new film, ‘It Was Just an Accident,’ a group of Iranians consider killing the man who tortured them in prison.
