\n\tFamously, \u201cHeated Rivalry<\/a>\u201d star Connor Storrie<\/a> is great at accents. His Russian is especially popular, which the actor pulled off to play a convincingly Slavic Ilya Rozanov in the hit series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, ahead of Storrie\u2019s gig as \u201cSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u201d host on Feb. 28, the actor put his language chops to the test in a hilarious accent duel against cast member James Austin Johnson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd by the way, the Russian accent was awesome,\u201d Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez says to Storrie, who responds, \u201cThanks, I actually do all kinds of accents!\u201d The mere mention of the subject summons Johnson, who rolls up ready to defend his honor as the accent authority at \u201cSNL.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two face off, putting on their best German (Storrie sips a beer while quipping about the ease at which he can slip into the pronunciation), Cajun, French, Italian and even Shakespearean accents.\u00a0(After hearing Storrie\u2019s Shakespeare, his next role might just need to be a reimagining of one of the Bard\u2019s works.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHern\u00e1ndez also asks them both to do their best Jamaican accent, which Storrie and Johnson politely decline: \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s a good idea,\u201d Storrie stammers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd while the two continue to go back and forth, it\u2019s Storrie\u2019s hailed Russian accent that wins the duel for him. \u201cWhen you get to hell, tell them Rozanov sent you,\u201d he says in reference to his beloved \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d character, before using his finger pistol to shoot down Johnson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFeb. 28 will mark Storrie\u2019s \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d hosting debut. While the rest of the skits are still tightly under wraps, if they\u2019re anything like this, fans are sure to be delighted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show\u2019s musical guest will be Mumford & Sons, who are promoting their upcoming album, \u201cPrizefighter,\u201d set to be released on Feb. 20.<\/p>\n
