I met JASON ISAACS!

(1/4) > >>

j.U.d.E.:
I went to London last Saturday (10th March) and saw the play 'The Dumb Waiter' – brilliant! I went to the afternoon play. I didn't have the best of seat (far up), but I could see and hear well. It's funny, because when they let you inside and you are looking for your seat, Jason Isaacs and Lee Evans (part of the play) are already on stage in full view of everyone entering the room. On the half-lit stage, they are lying both on a bed. One is reading, the other sleeping. Then they have to wait for everyone to be seated, before than can start.

After the play I asked at the reception if there was a possibility to get an autograph and they said yes, that it was very likely. I should just go around to the back of the theatre to the stage door. I did. There were 6 people waiting, but 3 left before anyone got out of the stage door. Another person arrived to have a poster signed for a friend. She works in one of the Museums in the neighbourhood and had come to the stage door on another occastion to get an autograph. She told us that Jason Isaacs does come out to go jogging, before coming back for the evening performance. And he did! He was in jogging gear, coming out of the door rather quickly with headphones and talking on the phone. When he saw us he stopped immediately, but finished his call first. I didn't listen, but on the basis of the tone of his voice, I think it was work-related, rather than a private call.

While he signed the poster of the museum lady, I took pictures. Then I asked if I could have an autograph and take a picture with him and me. I'm always a nervous wreck, when I do that, don't know why and I was - shivering like a leaf, stupid, really. He must have noticed that when putting his arm on my shoulder.. Actually, it's the first time I ask for a picture of the actor together wit me. Usually [groupie here..] I only ask for an autograph and take a picture.

My digital camera is very quiet and doesn't need flash often, so after the museum lady took the picture of Jason and me, he wanted to see if it had worked. It had worked and I showed it to him!  ;D

Anyway, he was really really nice and took all his time to answer questions (I asked him about 'The State Within') and signing. He even had a special pen for autographs. Funny was that he repeatedly asked us not to put the pictures we took on the internet! He was worried, because he thought he didn't look good in track suits.. Sorry Jason, but you look hot in anything! But I will respect his wish and not put my pictures on the net.

Then he took off jogging, crossing Trafalgar Square, mingling with the crowd..

Very nice guy! Aaaah! I’m glad I had the guts to talk to him!

Excellent character actor famous for portraying villians.  Most recently seen in the BBC mini series "The State Within" .He is reputed to be a really lovely person in spite of the fact that the camera loves him in such a sinister way, married to the same woman for 19 years and has 2 children....it's said the kids on the Harry Potter set adore him.

As Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter


In the Patriot with Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger


As Captain Hook in Peter Pan


and as himself

delalluvia:
I looooooooooove Jason Isaacs.  First noticed him in the movie 'Event Horizon' and have been seeing him everywhere ever since.  The movie 'Event Horizon' has a sentimental spot in my heart in that it was the first movie I ever saw where I decided I would have no problem screwing every man in the cast.
