Jason Isaacs says Harry Potter director Chris Columbus told him to ‘pull back’ on his Lucius Malfoy accent ’80 to 90 percent’

Jason Isaacs recalls 'Harry Potter' director Chris Columbus asking him to 'pull back' his menacing Lucius Malfoy accent by '80 to 90 percent.' Just a smidge.

Appearing on the latest episode of The Tonight Show to chat about his recent stay at The White Lotus in Thailand, the English actor revisited one of his more memorable roles as Lucius Malfoy. He most recently swapped that menacing accent for a heavily-debated Southern one in The White Lotus season 3, starring as a Durham patriarch who nearly poisons his family with spiked piña coladas in order to shield them from his legal troubles. Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola in 'The White Lotus' season 3.
