Is Jason Isaacs married?

Edited section on private life--Jason and Emma are not married. He's said in several interviews that they've talked about it, but something's always come up, and that they'll probably get married when Lily tells them that they're embarassing her.nmw 07:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody had changed it back to "wife". I've fixed it and added a reference.--Brother William 08:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, as of sometime late last year, Jason's been referring to Emma as his wife, and he's started wearing what appears to be a wedding band. I guess they figured that after the second kid, they might as well make it legal.nmw 20:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't seen any articles mentioning that Jason Isaacs and Emma Hewitt have married. In an article on the website of The Sun, believed to have been published in 2006, Isaacs states that he and Hewitt have not formally married yet. If there are any new articles, please update the article with a citation. Cheers, Jacklee 18:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did Isaacs drop out of university?

The article states that Jason dropped out of Bristol to go to Central--is this correct?nmw 20:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. The article currently states that he graduated from Bristol University before studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama, but an article from Moviefone, which I've put in a footnote, says he dropped out of university. If anyone can clarify this, please update the article with a citation. Cheers, Jacklee 18:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Publicity photo

I've removed the publicity photo from the article. It's copyrighted, and fair use specifically does not cover use in the actor's article. WP:FUC explains the details. The copyright notice on the image's page also explains it pretty well. The short of it is that the image is owned by the the movie folks and can only be used to illustrate movie related stuff. Oddly enough, the actor's bio isn't covered. I suppose if we created a "roles" section, we could use the image to illustrate that particular role. Rklawton 01:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! I see there is a such a section, so I went ahead and moved the image down there. Rklawton 02:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All photographs have been removed from this article by an administrator for non-compliance with the non-free content criteria. Please try to locate copyright-free images for use in this article, if possible. Cheers, Jacklee 13:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia section

I have parked the "Trivia" section of the article here because such sections are now deprecated. This is because they encourage editors to add bits of information to an ever-growing list rather than trying to incorporate them into the article (see the link in the above box for more information).

Isaacs has a long-running professional relationship with director Paul W. S. Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt. Isaacs has appeared in four of Anderson's movies, mostly from his early period including Shopping, Event Horizon and Soldier. He had an uncredited role as Dr. William Birkin (and the narrator) in Resident Evil (2002). He was also set to play Dr. Birkin in Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), but for some reason left the project. That is why in the 2002 movie the only part of Isaacs' face that can be seen are his eyes; the rest was covered by a medical mask. It is assumed that his role was taken over by Iain Glen.
In a 26 November 2006 article published in the San Francisco Chronicle, Isaacs was voted by the author as one of the 13 "Sexiest Men Who Are Real and Alive", while Lucius Malfoy, the character he portrayed in the Harry Potter films, was named as one of the 12 "Sexiest Men Who Were Never Alive".^[1]
Isaacs writes with his left hand, but uses his right hand when playing sports or when portraying acts of violence in films.^[2]
He is afraid of horses and spiders.^[2]
When taking on the role of Lucius Malfoy in the "Harry Potter" films, Issacs disagreed with the producer's idea that Malfoy be in a business suit and created the costume of a dark cape and cane.^{[citation needed]}

I have readded the information into the article. Realistically, moving it to the talk page is the same as simply deleting it. Individual facts on the talk pages of all but the most-trafficed pages is likely to never be reincorporated in the text. When dealing with trivia and trivia sections, I think it is better to simply incorporate the information yourself, delete the information, or leave it for someone else. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 03:08, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia items and quotations have been incorporated into the body of the article or into footnotes. Cheers, Jacklee 15:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
