Potter baddie Jason Isaacs discusses
his new upcoming film, Peter Pan and how he nearly didn't do the Harry Potter movies.
Jason Isaacs who plays the villainy Lucius Malfoy talks about why he did the Harry Potter movies as well as the addicting factor of the books.
"So, I wasn't quite sure whether to do Lucius Malfoy or not. I read all four books in one sitting and I suddenly understood why my friends, who I'd thought were slightly backward, had been so addicted to these books.
"You know, they're like crack, but nonetheless, I thought, 'Should I really do Lucius Malfoy, I just committed to doing Captain Hook?' All my godchildren called me and said, 'You have to do it'. And I've got a young daughter Lily so all these kids were saying she'd be really proud of me when she's older, she was six months at the time."

He read four books in one sitting??? WOW!!! I am 20 and I can not imagine sitting in one place that long- even for Harry Potter!!!
Props to Isaac.
Isaac was the perfect cast for Molfoy. No one could do better.

I am so glad he decided to do the part. He did the character very well. I've also seen the Peter Pan trailer along time ago and that looks really good. He is a good actor and I can't wait to see him in more Harry Potter movies and in Peter Pan. I guess he likes playing the villian.

Jason Isaacs is the best, once again, like I said, perfectly evil for the part! I do need to go see Peter Pan though.

I love Jason. I love him lots. ^_^

I'm glad he accepted. I can't imagine anyone else playing Lucius except Jason. He's perfect!
