In a recent consultation withThe Guardian , Isaacs has recall what it was like to puzzle out onArmageddonwith Willis , and has reveal that he has one major rue about the moving-picture show . According to Isaacs , he was primitively offered a role as one of the astronauts in the picture show , which is a tumid part than he wound up playing . unluckily , Isaacs was also about to begin fritter the filmDivorcing Jack , which would interfere with theArmageddonshoot . Isaacs has stated that his agentive role could n’t understand why he"wouldn’t knock off out to asterisk opposite Bruce Willis . “Isaacs wound up toy his fibre Ronald Quincy as a"consolation prize,“but has allow that he did envy the actors who got to play the astronauts . See his full quotation below :
" … I was offer a full-grown part as an cosmonaut , but I was just about to lead off take Divorcing Jack , and my American agent could n’t understand why I would n’t throw out to star opposite Bruce Willis . So I ended up play a consolation prize , and had to stand on solidifying near Bruce Willis for six calendar month as the astronauts sashay past , conceive : that could have been me in one of those jumpsuit . "
While it is understandable why Isaacs would feel somewhat envious of the actors who had the part he intimately did , he likely does n’t finger that bad . In a elbow room , Isaacs achieved the gross actor ’s scenario in which he was able-bodied to work on both task with minimum compromise . The smaller role inArmageddoncertainly has n’t hurt Isaacs ' career either . Isaacs pass on to play numerous iconic charactersincluding Lucius Malfoy inHarry Potter , Captain Hook inPeter Pan , and even did a stint as a villain onAvatar : The Last Airbender .
Despite all the success , it seems Isaacs still looks back and wonder what might have been . Perhaps he would have appeared in more Willis films over the years . However , while a few masses block this , Isaacs ' fictitious character in the film is really the one who eventually saves Earth , despite the movie focalize on other characters . Isaacs may not have been able to get into the jumpsuit ofan astronaut inArmageddon , however , he will always be the one who saved the human subspecies .
