Jason Isaacs

Jason Isaacs wants 'Harry Potter' fans to despise him Popular (15601)

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.

He is so rude. not answering his fan-mail, how can he act like that? In my opinion he's not a talented actor if he cannot set a border between "on stage" and "off stage". He's not Lucius in real life!!

I agree - he's brilliantly cold, and that sneer - fabulous! One of a handful of characters who do look just like I pictured them. I love the scene in CoS after Dobby blasts him and his hair (or wig, apparently) is all messed up. Just in case anybody's getting the wrong idea - I don't like blonds. :-)

Now, that's what I call dedication!!! I don't think there are many actors who would recognize the impact their actions could/can have on the fan base of such movies. Lucius Malfoy is one of those characters you just LOVE to hate! And Isaacs does a really good job playing him.

Hahaha!

Okay then... He sounds pretty cool, but I guess he wants us to hate him when watching the films to really get the impact of it. You see, because people like Tom Felton seem so nice (and are so good-looking!), it's impossible for me to hate him in the films. I just love watching him!

Who knows? Maybe he'll end up answering all of his fan-mail when the entire series is finished.

weel that's pretty obvious for me that I hate Lucius Malfoy, for his character in the book, and for him being a faithful servant of Voldemort's. However I love Jason Isaacs for his charm and for how he portrays the bad guy.

He seems like a really nice guy! I love how he got into the character like that! I would absolutely love it if JKR wrote until Harry was 65! Or even 100... just until he dies. But maybe he'll drink unicorn blood and live longer... just kidding. I'm too hyper!

well... In the movie he seems really oily... like greasy... like totally evil... but in real life he seems like a cool guy... to me he looks kinda like the dude in the movie Sound of Music... Christopher Plummer... I think that's his name... but anyways... he seems like a cool guy and if he was my dad I'd be showing him off to all my friends... <33333

Well he does a very good job of making people hate him. That is a true actor, making them love you or hate you. Right?

He is perfect for Lucius... He is exactly as I imagined him after SS... (and seeing Draco...) I'm glad they still have him on... I know there has been some talk about changing some of the actors... I hope they don't...

Prehaps he's too afraid to admit he's a lazy & can't be bothered to reply.

Oh maybe not. I love baddies!
You can't argue with a good guy, being bad.
