Spend five minutes with Jason Isaacs, and you’ll realize he couldn’t be further from the deplorable rogues he brings to life on screen. He’s a genuine family man who desperately wants his teenage daughters to stop watching “Grey’s Anatomy” for the hundredth time so he can introduce them to TCM and the Criterion Channel. He’s obsessed with the latest gadgets and technology, and if quarantine has done anything, it’s provided him the perfect opportunity to up his Zoom call game. Ever so sharp, cheeky, and full of wit,  Isaacs has enough charisma to impress even some of the liveliest stand-up comics. However, with over a hundred acting credits across multiple platforms, and hands in some of the most popular franchises on the planet, Isaacs has remained humble and grounded. He still views himself as someone fortunate enough to dress up and act like a seven-year-old for a living, or as the actor himself puts it, ” I’m just the idiot who forgot to take the garbage out.” While my conversation with Isaacs spanned over two hours, it became instantly clear that the Liverpool native is less concerned with success or “celebrity.” But rather, he’s moved by what the iconic projects he’s been a part of mean to others and how he can amplify those who are actually out there working to make a difference.

“[When I started going to conventions], it became clear to me that it wasn’t about the stories I could trot out or the showbiz anecdotes. Really, people want to talk,” said Isaacs. “They want to tell you their story. It felt like a mission. Sure, it’s nice you get to travel to a place, get some money, but that wasn’t really why I went or why I hope to continue to go. There’s something magical about interacting with people who are so desperate to tell you what “Peter Pan” meant to them, or how much “Event Horizon” meant to them, or “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” and what point in their life it meant something and why. There’s also a lot of people for whom this is their passion, and without it, who knows what their lives would be. This is the thing they’ve focused on, and they get to focus on you being there.”

He continued, “I really feel like a conduit like I’m there to help people live out some of their fantasies. I feel like it’s my job, particularly when people get to the table, and you’re the one with the line, and it makes you look important, to remind them that I’m just not important. I chose to do this odd job like a child showing off, and because that, I happened to get lucky. I want every person to walk away from the table thinking, ‘Well, I had a chat with that guy. He’s nice. That was funny,’ or ‘that was sweet,’ and ‘he’s just some dude. He’s not a starship captain, he’s not a wizard, and he’s not more important or clever or sexy or cooler or anything than I am. He’s just another bloke I was talking to.’ I’m kind of exhausted by the end of the day because I’m very, very keen to make sure everyone goes away feeling right size.”

Jason Isaacs is best known for playing Lucius Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” series, Colonel William Tavington in “The Patriot,” and Captian Hook in “Peter Pan.” However, he’s also had countless other notable roles in films such as “Black Hawk Down,” “The Death of Stalin,” “A Cure for Wellness” and shows such as “The OA,” “Brotherhood,” “Star Trek Discovery” to name a few.   2020 has already proven a fruitful year for Isaacs as he lent his voice to Superman in the DC animated film “Superman Red Son” and, most recently, Dick Dastardly in “Scoob!
