Biography Early life and education Isaacs was born on 6 June 1963 in Liverpool, Merseyside, in England[1] and grew up in Liverpool in an "insular" and "closely-knit" Jewish community, of which his Eastern European great-grandparents were founder-members.[2] The third of four brothers,[3] Isaacs attended a Jewish school and a cheder twice a week.[4] He showed no early interest in performance at all. At the age of 11 his family moved to London, where he was occasionally involved in anti-Semitic attacks by skinheads.[4] Isaacs has a theory that his entire childhood was a preparation for the relatively unpleasant characters who have come his way. "There is a streak of cruelty in me that comes from having a quite competitive background. There were four boys in the house and we were pretty unkind to each other. I've been bullied a lot, sometimes by my brothers, sometimes at school. It wasn't a great thing to be a Jewish teenager when the National Front were passing leaflets around the school."[5] He attended the Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School[6] and continually failed to get into the school play. is the 157th day of the year (158th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Isaacs had initially planned on a career in law, following his more traditionally-inclined brothers who became a doctor, lawyer, and accountant. He therefore started reading law at Bristol University in 1982.[3] Feeling uneasy among peers "who all sounded like Hugh Grant", he fell rather accidentally into acting in the first year of his law studies, stumbling drunkenly into an audition for a part with "Northern accent required".[5] Cast in a play entitled Idle Hands, he ended up dancing naked, covered in chicken's blood – the first of many uncomfortable evenings in the theatre for his parents (in his second, The Glory of Love, he was castrated with a cheese-wire). Although he first became interested in acting in part because "it was a great way to meet girls", Jason soon found an addiction to and a deeper meaning in the theatre (in one interview he was quoted as saying "I could release myself into acting in a way that I was not released socially").[3] He finished his degree[7] while running Bristol's extra-curricular drama society, acting in or directing 30 or so plays, spending three summers at the Edinburgh Festival, two Easters at the National Student Drama Festival and a Christmas run at The King's Head Theatre in Islington. From 1985 he studied for a further three years at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, graduating in 1988 with an agent, a day's work on The Tall Guy (1989) and a girlfriend, Emma Hewitt, who was to become his partner. The University of Bristol was founded in 1876 as the University College, Bristol. ...

Career After completing his training, Isaacs almost immediately began appearing on the stage and on television. Isaacs was initially known as a TV actor in the UK, having starring roles in the ITV drama Capital City (1989) and the BBC drama Civvies (1992), and guest roles in series such as Taggart and Inspector Morse in 1992. He made his big-screen debut in 1989 with a minor turn as a doctor in Mel Smith's The Tall Guy. Jason exhibited his versatility in several more TV series and on-stage in such productions as the Royal National Theatre's 1993 staging of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning Angels in America.[8] He also began to find more work onscreen, receiving his first nod of Hollywood recognition in his casting in the Bruce Willis blockbuster Armageddon (1998). Initially called upon to take a fairly substantial role, Jason was eventually cast in a much smaller capacity as a planet-saving scientist so that he could accommodate his commitment to Divorcing Jack (1998), a comedy thriller he was making with fellow Harry Potter alumnus David Thewlis. After portraying a priest opposite Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes in Neil Jordan's acclaimed adaptation of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair (1999), Jason got his biggest international break to date when he was picked to portray the villain, Colonel William Tavington, in Roland Emmerich's Revolutionary War epic The Patriot (2000). Starring opposite Mel Gibson, who played the film's hero, Jason made a memorable impression as a fictional sadistic British army officer. Although his work in the film earned him comparisons to Ralph Fiennes' portrayal of evil Nazi Amon Göth in Schindler's List (1993) and talks of a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination, Isaacs was not content to be typecast playing historical villains. Thus, he signed on to play none other than a drag queen for his next project, Sweet November (2001), a romantic comedy-drama starring Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves.[3] Independent Television (generally known as ITV, but also as ITV Network) is a public service network of British commercial television broadcasters, set up under the Independent Television Authority (ITA) to provide competition to the BBC.

Really. I mean hideously compromised lives. And I can go anywhere. No one knows who I am. I can go on the tube and bus and wander through the streets.

- ^ Regarding the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling, Isaacs has said: "I went off and read the books after the audition and I read all four books in one sitting – you know – didn't wash, didn't eat, drove around with them on the steering wheel like a lunatic. I suddenly understood why my friends, who I'd thought were slightly backward, had been so addicted to these children's books. They're like crack.": Biography for Jason Isaacs.

- ^ Isaacs was also set to play Dr. Birkin in Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), but for some reason left the project. That is why in the 2002 movie the only part of Isaacs' face that can be seen are his eyes; the rest was covered by a medical mask. It is assumed that his role was taken over by Iain Glen. Isaacs has a long-running professional relationship with Resident Evil director Paul W. S. Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt, and has appeared in four of Anderson's movies, mostly from his early period, including Shopping (1994), Event Horizon (1997) and Soldier (1998).
- ^ When asked whether or not he would be in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), Isaac replied: "[Y]ou'll have to ask David [producer David Heyman], I hope so, I can't bear the idea that somebody else would get to wear my Paris Hilton wig, but you never know": Empire Interview : Jason Isaacs at the 2006 Sony Ericsson Empire Awards. Empire (2006). Retrieved on 2007-06-25. Isaac has also talked to J. K. Rowling on the inclusion of Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so that he would have a part in the seventh film: "I fell to my knees and begged. It didn't do any good. I'm sure she doesn't need plot ideas from me. But I made my point. We'll see. Like everybody else, I'm holding my breath to July [2007] to see what's in there. I just want to bust out of prison, that's all. I don't want to stay in Azkaban most of my life": White, Cindy (2007-01-11). Potter V Has More Isaacs. Sci Fi Wire. Retrieved on 2007-01-12.
