   Andreas was *not* a method actor, and did not "become G'kar."  He made that    
   very clear, when asked.  There was no identity overlap or confusion -- he was    
   Andreas reading lines.  This oft-mentioned comment might have been    
   attributable to the fact that the costume was so all-encompassing that people    
   who spoke to him *felt* like they were talking to G'kar.
