'Harry Potter' Actor Jason Isaacs Stars In A 'Good' New Movie

British actor Jason Isaacs stopped by the studio this morning to talk about his role as Maurice in the new movie Good, which opens on Wednesday, December 31.

Based on a play by C.P. Taylor, Good is set in the World War II era and is about literary professor John Halder (Viggo Mortensen, Lord of the Rings, Eastern Promises) whose mother suffers from senile dementia, prompting him to write a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. His book unexpectedly becomes used as part of Nazi Party propaganda. Powerful political figures strongly encouraged the reluctant professor to join the Party. And as anti-Semetic feelings grow in Germany, John is forced to choose between his career and his Jewish friend Maurice (Isaacs).

Best known as Death Eater Lucius Malfoy (Draco's father) in the Harry Potter movie series, Isaacs only discovered his penchant for acting while he was studying to become a lawyer at Bristol University in the 1980s. Since then, Isaacs has starred in blockbuster films like Event Horizon, Armageddon, The Patriot and Black Hawk Down.
