Connor Storrie, known for his role in “Heated Rivalry,” showcases his talent for accents in a recent promo for “Saturday Night Live.” Scheduled to host on February 28, Storrie engages in a playful accent duel with cast member James Austin Johnson.
Accent Duel Highlights
Storrie shines with his popular Russian accent, which he skillfully developed while portraying Ilya Rozanov in the acclaimed series. During the promo, Marcello Hernández praises his Russian skills, sparking a friendly rivalry with Johnson.
Accent Showdown
The two actors face off using various accents, including:
- German
- Cajun
- French
- Italian
- Shakespearean
Storrie humorously sips beer while demonstrating his German pronunciation. When asked to attempt a Jamaican accent, they both politely decline, leading to laughter.
Winning the Duel
Ultimately, Storrie’s Russian accent earns him the title of the accent champion in this lighthearted contest. He makes a playful nod to his character with the line, “When you get to hell, tell them Rozanov sent you,” before jokingly using a finger pistol to shoot down Johnson.
Upcoming “SNL” Appearance
Storrie’s debut as host on “Saturday Night Live” is highly anticipated. The full lineup of skits remains a mystery, but if the promo is any indication, viewers are in for a treat.
Adding to the excitement, Mumford & Sons will perform as the musical guest, promoting their new album, “Prizefighter,” which releases on February 20.
