  • Jason Isaacs has a long history of playing charming, yet difficult men, ranging from downright villains to more complex and flawed characters. It's a skill set that made him uniquely suited for the role of Cary Grant in the new biographical series Archie. While the world knew Cary Grant for the roles he took on in Hollywood, those closest to him knew a very different man. He could be controlling and downright cruel, but as Isaacs keenly stated during our interview, "hurt people hurt people." Archie showcases the full expanse of Cary Grant's life, starting with a young Archie Leach (Dainton Anderson) and progressing on to his adolescence through performances by Oaklee Pendergast and Theo Sharpe. Once Isaacs steps into his sharply tailored suits and debonair, there's so much more to his story to explore. It's here that we learn about his whirlwind of divorces as he chases after the rising starlet Dyan Cannon (Laura Aikman) who wants very little to do with him, at first. Their relationship, as flawed as it was, is the anchor for much of Archie's plot, and the source of most of the more dynamic and intriguing elements of the series.
    Speaking with Collider, Jason Isaacs spoke about the process of finding Cary Grant's iconic Mid-Atlantic accent, the rare interview he was able to track down that allowed him to find the exact intonation of Grant's voice, and how he connected to Grant through the transformation of fatherhood. Isaacs also spoke briefly about voicing Enver Gortash in Baldur's Gate 3.

    Very true about Archie's and Jason's link to Judaism . Isaacs is also a fine British actor and very appropriate in this role.

    Until I started watching interviews with Jason Isaacs about this series "Archie", I never knew ANY of this stuff about Cary Grant. The code switching, the horrible neglected and abused childhood. The fact that he didn't actually speak like he spoke in the movies. It's all been kind of mind blowing for me. I was completely in the dark about all of it.

    I liked was that he asked to say Hi to Steve. This kind thought speaks volumes about him as a person, not any actor on a 'speed dating' press juncket to be endured would do that. He remembers and connects.

    Cary actually did get close to his ex wife, Barbara Hutton‘s son, Lance, who he apparently used to refer to as his son and they would spend time together at Cary’s home.

    This man is probably the best actor that was never James Bond, apart from Henry Cavill.

    He kind of sounds like Cary Grant, too. Minus the trans-Atlantic affect.

    He allegedly had a “Transatlantic accent “.

      We feel the same way about the pubescent adolescence such as yourself that thinks they know everything when you just arrived on the scene!!!

      Cary wrote in his autobiography he was an escort. Not sure of the resurgence but many people across generations have heard of Cary Grant. I was a baby when he passed and heard of him.

    I think this guy has already penned his acceptance speaches for whatever accolades he and the movie receive. No doubt he'll monopolize and refocus any attention aimed in another's direction, like Dyan's. Too bad. He probably is a really fine actor, but his ego is a huge turn off!!

    Grant pretended to be Jewish. Jason actually is Jewish.
