Jason Isaacs ("Harry Potter") - "Archie" - Playing Cary Grant
Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, Sex Education) joins Son of a Binge to chat all about his stint playing Archie Leach, known to most as Cary Grant, on Britbox's Archie. Based on the book, "Archie", by Grant's ex-wife Dyan Cannon, and BAFTA-winner Jeff Pope, Archie tells the story of a young boy who turned himself into one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Isaacs breaks down the man behind the myth, from the death of Archie's mother, to his relationship with his father, his wives and the light of his life, his daughter. He also reveals why he wrote a line in the film to address Cary Grant's romantic relationships.
Isaacs chats about whether he would be open to continuing the Harry Potter story as Lucius Malfoy, with a limited-series based around the Malfoys. Plus, he tells us about the shows he's binged recently including The Great with Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, and Sex Education with Gillian Anderson.
Archie is executive produced by Jennifer Grant, Cary Grant’s daughter, and Dyan Cannon and is airing now on Britbox.
