JASON ISAACS -- THE LOST GIRLS

When Paul Greengrass made the movie about the July 22 2011 terror attacks in Norway for Netflix, he cast Norwegian actors but made them speak English with Norwegian accents. It's better than just mocking Norwegian accents, I think, but it's really alienating for Norwegians to watch the movie. Becau...

I have never seen Maxine in anything, so she's quite new for me, but I like Ciran very much. I've met him after a performance and he's not only brilliant actor, but quite nice person too. As for the accents - for me, all the english-russian accents are abominations. It never sounds right, rather li...

Is Maxine Peake well known to everyone on the board. She is an amazing actress. I agree, she is very good. She is well known for a Lancashire accent which she has refused to change, so it will be interesting to hear her being Russian-American. Ciaran Hinds is excellent too - he has been Oscar and B...

Nice poster.

I did see him on stage in Pinter's The Dumb Waiter with Lee Evans (a two-man play). It's not my favourite thing he did, but it was great to see him live, and both men gave excellent performances. I have since read that the film In Bruges was based on the storyline in the play. The thing I would most...

Jason looks very hot (as in heat) in that second one. Maybe he should try wearing loose trousers and light colours. I know he loves his black and navy.

I have to laugh when I see he is signing pictures of Lucius!

There also used to be an older lady, Betty Hoskins, who was on all the old Graham Norton shows. Jason already knew her too, as we found out when he chatted to her on the show. She was a dinner lady at the drama school.

Thanks for that. I love Wimbledon, and remember Ilya Nastase. He was a real mixed bag: friendly, exchanging jokes with the crowd, acting the clown, and then he would lose his temper and shout at the umpire. He became grumpier as he got older. He played doubles with Jimmy Connors, who also would beco...

The link says "... screened in live synchronisation with Christopher Willis' powerful score for the first time." I take that to mean they will show the film and play the music live at the same time - presumably the music bit of the soundtrack will be missing, but the dialogue will still be there. It...

This isn't an interview with Jason, but a short (4 min) radio piece about Cary Grant/Archie in Bristol. I found it very interesting, especially the bit about Bristol bricks being used to build New York.

I never knew that Jason won the role against the A list actor for Peter Pan.

Nor I - or that Jude Law was supposed to play Tavington.

I liked the bit when Jason met the man who dubs him into French (I assume that was as Lucius?)

Sounds interesting. I follow a couple of channels for young musical actors on YouTube, and it's definitely not easy to break into that industry. And once they've gotten one job, doesn't mean they will be cast in something new when their contract is over. This sort of thing also happened to people w...

Great that you met up with Jason again, ladies!

That's a long interview - I think she's a fan!

Jason said much more about Cary Grant and Dyan in that interview too.

A good interview - Jason still seemed to have a bit of the orange tan left on him - it complements his eyes.

It's interesting to hear how open he is about his addictive past nowadays.
