Trainspotting (4K disc) 1996 movie directed by Danny Boyle.  The movie
stars Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, and Kevin McKidd
as a group of friends living in Scottland dealing with heroine
addiction.  The movie holds up very well.  On the commentary they said
Johhny Lee Miller was the only one in the cast who wasn't Scottish.  But
for the entire shooting of the movie, he only spoke in a Scottish accent
until the last day of filming when they wrapped and he switched to his
regular speaking voice.  When he started speaking normally, they didn't
think that was his real voice at first.

Hahahahahaha

It may not have been! Without practice, they forget how to do their
natural accent!

I know you are doing Walter and the Astrid gag, but he spells his first
name like Jonny Quest.
