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.
