Jason Isaacs (born 6 June 1963 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England) is an English actor. He is known for his performance as Lucius Malfoy in the ''Harry Potter'' films, the brutal Colonel William Tavington in ''The Patriot'' and as lifelong criminal Michael Caffee in the American television series ''Brotherhood''. Though most of his work has been in film and television, it also includes stage performances; most notably as Louis Ironson in Declan Donnellan's 1992 and 1993 Royal National Theatre London premières of Parts One (''Millennium Approaches'') and Two (''Perestroika'') of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning play ''Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes'', and as Ben, one of two hitmen, playing opposite Lee Evans as Gus, in Harry Burton's 2007 critically acclaimed 50th-anniversary revival of Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter's 1957 two-hander ''The Dumb Waiter'' at Trafalgar Studios. He starred in the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) drama ''Awake'' as Detective Michael Britten from March to May 2012. ==Early life and education== Jason Isaacs was born on 6 June 1963, in Liverpool, Lancashire, to Jewish parents. His father was a jewellery-maker. Isaacs spent his earliest childhood years in an "insular" and "closely knit" Jewish community of Liverpudlians, of which his Eastern European great-grandparents were founder-members in the leafy Liverpool suburb, Childwall.〔 Rpt. from ''Jewish Journal of Los Angeles'', 14 July 2000.〕 The third of four sons,〔 Isaacs attended a Jewish school, known then as King David High school and a cheder twice a week as a young adult.〔 When he was 11, he moved with his family to Northwest London, attending The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, in Elstree, Hertsmere, in Hertfordshire, where he was in the same year as film reviewer Mark Kermode. He describes his childhood as "preparation" for portraying the "unattractive", villainous characters whom he has most often played. National Front members frequently harassed Isaacs and his friends throughout the 1970s and 1980s.〔〔 Following his more traditionally inclined brothers, who became respectively a doctor, a lawyer and an accountant,〔 Isaacs studied law at Bristol University (1982–85), but he became more actively involved in the drama society, eventually performing in over 30 plays and performing each summer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, first with Bristol University and then, twice, with the National Student Theatre Company. After graduating from Bristol he went immediately to train at London's Central School of Speech and Drama (1985–88).〔 Isaacs' parents eventually repatriated to Israel.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jason Isaacs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
