[edit] Biography

Jason Isaacs (born June 6, 1963) plays Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. Isaacs has appeared as Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and will appear in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, parts one and two.

Far from being the evil, twisted character whom he plays in the films, Jason is nothing like that in real life. He is currently married and has two daughters, Lily and Ruby.

Isaacs watched Tom Felton's performance as Draco Malfoy in the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, in order to understand how he should play Draco's father.

[edit] Earlier career

Having been credited over 60 times in films and television shows alike, he still has much to achieve, being a ripe age of 46.

He has also starred in 12 productions as himself.

[edit] Personal quotes

  • "Everytime I make a plan, God laughs at me."
  • "Look, I play all these tough guys and thugs and strong, complex characters. In real life, I am a cringing, neurotic Jewish mess. Can't I for once play that on stage?"
