Photographed by Stewart Shining, actor Jason Isaacs stars in a new feature for the spring-summer 2015 edition of Esquire Black Book. Discussing acting and fame, Isaacs doesn’t find the pairing essential. The 51 year-old actor shares, “Well not even a desire. It’s an addiction. As long as there’s food in my fridge and my kids get to go to school in clean clothes, extra money and more autographs is not going to make the slightest bit of difference to me. I’m not trying to rub anyone’s face in it who’s not enjoying their work, but I get to do some extraordinary things. In Dig, to be shooting on the rooftops of Jerusalem when the sun comes up over the famous gold dome and you hear the call to prayer—all the world’s great religions live in this crowded space—and it stops bustling. It’s heavy stuff. I get to lead extreme lives by proxy—of life and death and faith and loss and all these other things. That’s the reward. And the rest of it is just gravy.” Read more on Esquire.com.
