West did an amazing Larry Fine! It's such an odd one to even think to do, but he did it to perfection.

my brother works for the city of boston.a couple of years ago when they were filming the departed someone approached him and asked if he'd like to possibly be an extra.he said sure and they took him to a trailer.once they got to the trailer they gave him a list of things to say.it was a lot of cursing and yelling(something my brother is very good at).they made him repeat the phrases over and over.when he finished the list they thanked him and sent him on his way.we thinks they were stealing his boston accent.
i must say that i thought matt damons boston accent was terrible.i guess that is because he is not from boston?
