Jason Isaacs wants 'Harry Potter' fans to despise him Popular (15593)

Jason Isaacs, who portrays Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, is becoming more like his character he says. In an effort to remain in character he avoids answering his fan mail, he also comments that he’s enjoyed playing Lucius and that he hopes that he will be in the next movie and that author Rowling continues to write Harry Potter books for years to come.

I'm carefully cultivating an entire generation of people who despise me, because when you're in 'Harry Potter' films you get a lot of fan mail... I haven't answered any of it, so they will hate me even more than they did to start with. They probably spent their pocket money sending me a stamped, addressed envelope. Number four is finished. I'm not signed up for number five; I haven't got a script for [it] yet, but I understand I have some things to do in the book and, if they ask me, then I would be hoping to be in it. Because that is good fun, it's ridiculously good fun to dress up as a wizard ... I hope that [JK Rowling] writes it until Harry Potter is 65 years old and on a walking frame.

Lucius Malfoy makes my blood boil! I'm not sure about not answering the fan mail, but I like this guy. It'd be fun to see him outside of the roll on camera.

I hope he stays till JK writes about his character in the books and I think it is aggressive not to answer fan mails .
P.S. I don't like his CHARACTER in the books, I only like HIS acting. To me it'd be a relief when JK atlast would someday mention that Lucious is dead.

I think not answering fan mail is taking it a bit too far. He's an actor, he should want people to appreciate his work.

So sorry, but it's hard to hate an awesome actor. Sorry Jason, but it's impossible for me to hate you!

Jason is wonderful as Lucius, i cant imagine anyone else fit for the job! He sounds like such a nice guy too! I don't think its rude at all, if he wants to stay in character then more power to him!

You know I've been told that a sign of a good actor is one who can evoke so much emotion, whether hate or otherwise, that you truly love them or hate them. Jason Issacs plays a great bad guy (i.e. The Patriot and Harry Potter as Lucius Malfoy) and in Harry Potter, he does make me hate him when in character and that shows how good of an actor he is. Keep up the good work!

Jason Isaacs is totally hilarious! Who wouldn't want to don that powdery white wig and sneer every now and then to let out their inner-Lucius?! It must be such fun for him to let loose in the films! Can't wait to see him again!

He really loves to get into his role and that's why I admire him so much so he can't count on this fan to hate him. Sorry for those who have sent fan mail but he is Lucius Malfoy so you beter back off or he might get an avada kedavra off on you. *backs up and stays away from Isaac*

ool fellow. He really is. Funny way of developing his character but it really suits him if you ask me. After all we need the same excitement in the movies as in the books.

I think he is just being lazy and is using this as an excuse so he doesn't have to feel guilty about not replying to fan mail. It has nothing to do with keeping in character, just plain laziness.
