...accented English (which is funny without being too offensive) and producing. The biggest challenge, though, was getting used to seeing himself as Nacho. "At first I would have rather been naked to tell you the truth," Black says, "because I just look so goddang ridiculous. But then I thought, Wait, that's my job. The stretchy pants are my friends. I love the stretchy pants! It just took a little mental adjustment, because I know that when I'm embarrassed and scared about acting, that means I'm going to get some good life-nugget knowledge...
