Some funny quotes from Robert’s co-star Ming-Na from SGU, who explains that she had/has a hard time understanding Robert

“There should be subtitle options on the DVD! When I first met him he had this very soft quiet voice and he talks really fast. I understood how my friends pretend to understand my Chinese mom when she’s speaking English – you just kind of nod and go, ‘Oh yeah.’”

“If he laughs, you pretend to laugh a little too – because you don’t want to say, ‘Can you repeat that? Did you say volcano?’”

“I’m used to his dialect now, so I understand more what he’s saying. I guess for some fans it might be a little tough but you’ll get used to it. He does actually use a more English accent when he’s speaking as Rush on Stargate Universe.”
