Jason Isaacs is one of the best actors of all time

What an incredible actor. He played his part of villain incredibly well!

Phenomenal actor, super handsome, and incredibly kind and generous.

I was 10 and that was the first movie I saw Jason Isaacs in - throughout the Harry Potter movies I referred to him as “Draco’s Dad, Col. William Tavington”

Giant of an actor. He typically plays deplorable people, but I’ve never seen him do something where he didn’t own the scene. I don’t know how to critique actors, but when he’s present, to me he’s always the focal point. Even if that’s not the intention lol.

He also has more range than what we typically see him do. Even though Peter Pan wasn't well received, I thought he did a great job portraying both Hook and the Darlings's father, though they were completley different from each other.

Jason Isaacs is very,VERY underrated.After "the Patriot" he was in "Sweet November",mind you.His Col. William still haunts me.Great talent....And i have to mention i first saw him in "Event Horizon".

I knew a professor of history from Pennsylvania who was a historical advisor on the Patriot. He wound up resigning because he was so exasperated by the film’s inaccuracies.

this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. Yes it may not be accurate but its one of the few films about the Revolutionary war I can think. Plus gotta love John Williams' music

I was 14 when The Patriot came out. The 1st Rated R movie I saw on theaters. Jason Isaacs is a hell of an actor and am I the only one who remembers Jason Isaacs in Armageddon???

Jason Isaacs.. I am only here because you played the villain so well.

this small gibson impression at 10:06 is amazing

I love the movie primarily because it was filmed here in SC. And I became a huge fan then. Being that was filmed here..I know several people who helped on the sets and all of them said he was by far the kindest person there.

I'm glad I met him. He was really nice. I told him about that movie. I asked him if he could evaluate my act for Star Trek since he is in Discovery. He said to me personally he wanted me in the show.

Devilishly handsome and looks much younger for his age!

Been hoping to find a more recent interview with Jason about this film. He was scary good in it!

The Patriot was my first movie I bought on VHS. Still have it today. Isaacs was phenomenal, I feared his presence on screen. He's such an underrated actor and needs more lead roles.

Rated R, but I was in 5th grade, we were learning about the revolutionary war, our teacher actually let us watch the movie, of course they skipped all the bloody scenes, but it was a good movie, loved it and Jason Isaac really help make that movie.

This guy is one hell of an actor!!! After tavington, luscious malfoy, ect. In star trek, not so much...he exudes bad ass, or at least his characters do! Too manly for trek.....keep up the great work Jason!

Patriot was the first movie I saw with Jason in it too. I was 12. The character was very.... illuminating.... for a 12 year old girl. That whole "hair down, shirt open, shaving in the creek" scene-- I mean, iykyk! ;) I've been a huge fan for going on 24 years! Your interviews with him are great!

@@FilmSpeak You're welcome. Can't wait to see it.

He had a very limited role in "Fury" but I adored him in it. Very short scene, almost inconsequential even, but he's so good and has such a commanding presence he made his scene memorable. Love this guy. He's one of those extremely talented guys like Ralph Fiennes or Iwan Rheon who seem so genuinely sweet and nice in real life but can play the most despicable villains that you love to hate. Wish Jason could have played Bond.

He’s my favorite Character in the patriot. Brutal tactics. Lol

He was amazing in black hawk down as well!

My silly comment, did Jason have to expand his British accent in the patriot? I realized some time ago he was in Black Hawk down and of course, American accent was well done. Very good actor. Would like to see him in more movies.

Is it just me who wants to see Jason Isaacs in MCU? He's just amazing. Why isn't he more popular?

Damn that man...

He played his part so good in that movie 😎

One of the first films my family got on DVD (in a weird magazine subscriptionesque service that sold DVD's from a flyer in sets of ten or more films before netflix existed). We got The Patriot, The Mummy, Twister, Top Gun, Forest Gump, and a few others back when a 36" tv was considered pretty big (it was because it weighed about 200 lbs). The Patriot has always been one of my favorite, remote dropper movies. Jason Isaacs completely killed it as an antagonist. (side note: extremely underrated in Blackhawk Down)

Wow that was so cool! 😄👏🏼 I actually only wanted to have a quick look at what this interview is about but then ended up watching all 16 minutes of it and enjoying it tremendously! 😀 I could listen to Jason talk for hours, it's so entertaining and fun and interesting! Although he probably talks nonstop if you don't tell him tell him to breathe from time to time. 😉 My first conscious memory of him in a movie is probably as Lucius Malfoy but I might've seen him before that. What a great guy, I love him! He's so attractive and sweet and he plays the villains with such arrogance and stylishness, so amazing!! 🥰 I love his multi-faceted characters and Captain Lorca was actually a great role of his recent stuff! 😊 Thanks for this interview, it was delightful! ☺️

One of the best Actors/We ever had.

Jason is great. I hated him in The Patriot, I dig him in Star Trek, and he gives awesome interviews. His American accent is top class, and for me, is the mark of a great actor.

Isaacs is such a great actor... he was such a great villain on the Patriot and in Star Trek Discovery... when someone makes you viscerally hate them they are damn good... he would have been boss in Game of Thrones... in any role... maybe as Stannis...

Superb actor n nice acting

Thank you for this interview!! I grew up with this movie and watch it again and again!

Man is a tremendous actor 👏

Jason Isaacs is so evil in The Patriot. When you start to hate a character you have found an incredible actor. I’m a big fan of Mel and Jason Isaacs

I really enjoyed this! And I am a history teacher!

His troops saluting him at Outback Steakhouse is hilarious. Any way, The Patriot is a classic. One of the most fun movies - and Jason was an incredible villain. The movie wouldn't have been nearly as good with anyone else in that role. Perfectly cast.

Tavington….damn him. Damn that man!

Jason Issac is a treasure

He's one of my favorite actors

Patriot is mine favourite Jason Isaacs movie,those piercing blue eyes... And then he made Star Trek Discovery.......

I think the Tavington character was compelling because he was a trained professional, and capable, soldier who had this inexplicable cruel, ruthless streak in him. Like Isaacs said he was more motivated by his own pursuits as opposed to his loyalty to the king, and he couldn't care less who paid the price as long as he met his objectives. But, that made his eventual fate all the more satisfying.

Most of the most famous and notorious villains are psychopaths, serial killers, or evil lords. Jason Isaacs managed to portray an everyman, just a soldier of high command, but for me, he is the most terrifying villain ever.

Are there any Brits who watched the patriot and liked it?! *Jason Issacs while acting in some comedy with Steve Buschemi and Jefferey Tambor in some comedy about The Death of Stalin* : “I did and I enjoyed it! It’s been a long time coming!”

This is great!

I really enjoyed watching Jason Isaacs in the movie Black Hawk Down.

Awesome job.

He's great! As a Star Wars fan, I declare. If Thrawn is added to the movie, Jason must play him. Nobody else!

He was not as comically evil in real life though so his depiction has lots of innacuracies.

I didn't recognize Mr. Isaac's played a ranger captain in Blackhawkdown, so in the patriot I admit I loved hating him, he has one of the best evil looks he is up their with Bill Skarsgard as pennywise. I was screaming when Mel shoved the bayonet in his throat! The music was patriotic to the bone, when Mel grabs the continental colors and screams "Hold The Line" I sobbed my guts out! The Patriot reminds the brits, whoever wins the war, gets to write the scripts.

We all love and respect Mel Gibson, but Jason Isaacs stole this movie from him. Tavington is in Top 10 Villains in movie History.

Великолепный актёр Джейсон Айзекс.. Он играл злодея, но он сделал этот фильм.. Он владел всем фильмом полностью. Впервые мне хотелось чтобы победило зло и это невероятно.. И название Патриот это о нем, ведь он был патриотом для своей страны отдавая долг, хотя и беспощадными методами. Это всего лишь моё мнение, извините.
