Steven Spielberg Told Anthony Ramos to Not Use Southern Accent for ‘Twisters’ Role: ‘I Want Him to Do It in His Dialect’
Anthony Ramos says 'Twisters' executive producer Steven Spielberg didn't want the actor to use a Southern accent for his character Javi.
Ramos, who plays storm chaser Javi in “Twisters,” said in an Entertainment Weekly interview that he originally thought his character should have a Southern accent. Along with Ramos, “Twisters” stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Maura Tierney, Tunde Adebimpe, Harry Hadden-Paton, Sasha Lane, Brandon Perea and Katy O’Brian. Ramos told EW that he was particularly excited to work with director Lee Isaac Chung, saying that the “Minari” filmmaker is “a guy that directs these really niche, smaller, beautiful films.”
