Archie's Jason Isaacs Reveals the Secret Behind His Cary Grant Accent

[@kathleenpell7575]

Jason Isaacs is one of the best actors out there today!

[@devilsfavorite999]

Very much underrated

[@henryfitch8710]

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

[@musicmann1967]

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.

[@silverbaker2194]

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.

[@andrimufid2195]

Big fan of Jason Isaacs since Brotherhood. More people should watch that show

[@MexieMex]

Great interview

[@WILLIAM1690WALES]

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.

[@Donegalwildatlantic]

Just watched Archie today watched the four episodes he played him so well and im a real cary grant fan

[@musicmannrecordings4734]

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

[@bardoface]

He allegedly had a “Transatlantic accent “.

[@DenkyManner]

That is said, but it was a unique hybrid accent, part British, part American. That's different from the transatlantic accent

[@maxlinder5262]

He said Cary Grant was a male escort ..??? Surprise.......😊..I'm surprised. THIS interest in Cary Grant after .. ALL these years ...Who would remember him ...or care ..but people of a certain age....,...

[@fontanaofyouth]

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

[@Westtexasbelle]

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.

[@SolarEclipse1996]

​@@fontanaofyouth Speak for yourself not the entire planet. Pontificating windbag 🙄

[@annaross1681]

Male escort for women though. It also hasn’t been confirmed.

[@annaross1681]

Jason Isaacs is a very good actor. I’ve seen him in several movies. But he looks nothing like Cary Grant nor does he sound like him. Grant had a distinctive voice. The series was ok. Rather sad, actually. A depressed man with abandonment issues that no psychiatrist could help.

[@Tears77529]

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!!

[@SolarEclipse1996]

Nonsense. Stop exaggerating drama queen 🙄

[@micahcareyfilms]

Grant pretended to be Jewish. Jason actually is Jewish.

[@Alexcatchh]

Atheist born Jewish
