When he was in Close Encounters, he was playing himself! He spoke English, but couldn’t in a fully fluent way and needed an interpreter for long, deep conversations. That scene when he and Richard Dreyfuss were talking with Bob Balaban interpreting was not staged, it was for real! When he made Fahrenheit 451, he had difficulty directing it because he wasn’t fluent in English.
