Let's talk about Star Trek's newest captain

Jason Isaacs has been announced as captain of the USS Discovery in Star Trek Discovery. We’re excited about Isaacs being in everyone's favourite space adventure because he’s played a lot of bad people in films, and we mean lots. He pretty much only plays baddies. Does this mean he’ll be a baddie in Star Trek? We don’t know, but we are excited.  A captain with a bit of darkness would be really interesting.

Jason Isaacs movies and TV shows

Not sure who Jason Isaacs is? Well let us rock your world. We’ve compiled a lists of his most notable performances so here they are in no specific order.

Jason Isaacs in Harry Potter as Lucius Malfoy

Probably Isaacs’ most famous role, as the head of the sinister Malfoy family in Harry Potter. In this clip Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) tricks Lucius into giving Dobby a sock and freeing him.



Jason Isaacs in The Patriot as Colonel Tavington

Isaacs as played a lot of baddies, but have any been as evil as Colonel Tavington? He’s basically pure evil on a horse in a hat.



Jason Isaacs In Peter Pan As Captain Hook

Isaacs stole the show as in the 2003 version of Peter Pan, and not just because Captain Hook got to use a double ended cigar holder.



Jason Isaacs In Black Hawk Down As Captain Steele

Steele is a grizzled veteran who doesn’t take attitude off anyone, including Delta Force commandos who cut the queue for food. So rude! On the plus side Steele isn’t a baddie, so that makes a nice change from Isaacs’ usual roles. This clip does contain some strong language if you need to be careful about that sort of thing.
