Jason Isaacs — who plays white-haired wizard Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films as well as Michael Caffee on Showtime’s gritty drama Brotherhood — will let his fanboy flag fly when he guest stars on the upcoming season of Entourage. "I couldn’t be more excited," he told EW.com. "I have seen every episode. I can’t tell anyone what I am playing. I can only say I am not playing myself. Christ, I hope no one thinks it’s me. It’s quite a character. I wouldn’t want people thinking he’s based on my personality!"
Isaacs admitted he got a little star struck while taping the series, which returns Sept. 7. "Even after hanging around with these boys for a few days and playing golf with them, I found it hard to shake off my whole fan geekiness," said Isaacs, who added that he is grateful to Showtime for allowing him the opportunity. "They don’t normally give up their series’ actors [to appear on] any HBO show. But I am such a huge fan of the show and they made the exception for me."
He also said that he has "no idea what is in store for the third season of Brotherhood. "The creator just had a baby so I wonder if it is going to turn all soft and cuddly. I doubt it strongly. He’s probably going to be more pissed off and grumpy because of lack of sleep so he’ll come to work and take it out on these characters." Brotherhood returns to Showtime on Nov. 2. "No one has a good time in Brotherhood," Isaacs continued. "I think that’s why people like watching it because by comparison everyone’s lives are just peachy."
Next up for Isaacs: the seventh and eighth installments of the Harry Potter franchise. "I wasn’t in six so it has been a long hiatus for me and I can’t wait to get back in that world," said Isaacs. "It is easy to get back into the mind of Lucius. I just put on the wig. The thing about that wig is that it is long and straight and the only way to get it straight is to tilt my head back and then I’m forced to look down my nose at people. And suddenly Lucius is back in town.”

I think you guys mean the sixth and seventh installment of the Harry Potter franchise not seventh and eighth
To Brian;
I think what they were referring to is that they will split the last (7th) book into two movies.
What a cool dude.
I couldn’t love this guy any more! You can’t beat that sense of humor….he’s truly the whole package. Cant wait to see him on Entourage!
I love Jason Isaacs. Brotherhood is such a great show. I wish it got more press. Can’t wait to see him on Entourage. I will so have my fangirl squee on!!!
Dang, Jason Isaacs is HOT with that blonde wig *drool*…
Yeah! Glad to get some Entourage scoop! And glad that Isaacs is obviously an Entourage junkie too. Seems like a very cool guy and he’s a great actor so I can’t wait to see him on Entourage.
Jason Isaacs rocks! And he can work a wig whether it’s blond (HP) or brunette (Peter Pan)! LOL
I’ve been in love with Jason Isaacs since I saw him in “The Patriot”. He’s the ultimate scene stealer.
While I like him in Potter I will remember him as the voice of the morally corrupt General Zhao on Avatar:The Last Airbender. His character was pure evil.
i always thought jason to be evil until i saw him in PeterPan as caption hook and mr darling but i am still not shure
Jason is one of the most gifted actors out there today. He is an absolute chameleon and its amazing to watch him transform into his characters. Oh, and he is also intelligent, witty and devastatingly handsome to boot. What a lucky woman his wife is!!!
