    I have watched it. It is a very sad story. Jason acts beautifully and with great depths of understanding and compassion.

    It's sad that it took Archie Leach (aka Cary Grant) so long (and so many broken marriages) to look deep within to heal his childhood wounds of abuse and abandonment. Recurring nightmares are the clue that we haven't faced those demons yet. Jason nailed it -- we have to learn not to go after and be fooled by shiny objects (people) out there that we can become obsessed with, but we need to take a good deep look at ourselves to find the wounds crying for attention that need healing. We can't find the love we so desperately seek "out there" until we learn to love ourselves and know that love is to be found within, first and always. I can't wait to see this miniseries when it streams here in the US. Jason, I know you won't disappoint, brilliant you!

    I've been watching the series and didn't realize it was Jason Isaacs until I checked the credits. His work is absolutely convincing and very believable.

    I have not seen Archie. I would like to counterpoint the negativity in this interview: Cary Grant gave so much to so many, countless hours of enjoyment watching his performances that continue to this day. There will never be another individual that is remotely like him. The lesson here may be love yourself first and foremost.

      I have no interest in it at all - instead, I recommend Scott Eyman's excellent biography "Cary Grant - A Brilliant Disguise" - highly recommended and very well balanced.

    Cary Grant was a physical actor like no other. He was handsome and debonair like no other actor. For me, Cary Grant movies are a joy to watch. I am sure Jason Issacs, an admired and accomplished actor, got the essence of Cary Grant almost perfect in Archie.

    Jason is such a great actor I am really looking fwd to seeing this. As a footnote, I was always surprised that he took the role of Captain Lorca in the disasterous "Star Trek: Discovery" early seasons. Those played like a space pantomime in which almost every character had an "I am not what I seem!" moment. It was about as Gene Roddenberry as some old French farce.

    Carry Grant damaged by his parents. He once asked his housekeeper... Why do my marriages fail? She said, well Mr Grant, when your married you want to be single and when your single you want to be married. He was a very smooth actor a handsome man... Everyone wants to be Carry Grant, even I want to be Carry Grant 😌

      Cary Grant needed to be 20 years younger to play James Bond and he knew it. But yes, he would've been perfect at about 38 - 40 years old.

    Mama told me how cold and snotty he was to my grandmother and sister (who was doing a bit part) on the set of the Bishop's Wife. Back then, I did not want to believe it, either. Looking forward to this project and how Jason handles it. When you see Jason here, it's hard to relate him to the vicious Colonel Tavington he aptly portrayed.

    Cary Grant came from Bristol, who are rightly proud of him. Isn’t the on screen image the only one that counts?….after all, he was an actor. Seems to be the modern stance to destroy reputations after they’ve died, from the clip shown, this actor whoever he is? Hasn’t got any of the qualities that made Grant such a charismatic on screen person.

    • @Susomat1
      @Susomat1 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      We know the actor Cary Grant and his roles, I think it is really interesting to find out more about the person behind the surface. Jason Isaacs is quite a good actor, give him a chance, he was brilliant in Harry Potter and many other movies.

    • @Neomie92
      @Neomie92 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is such a silly comment. The idea is not to insult or degrade the man behind Cary Grant, but to humanize him. To show those in the audience with similar traumas/stories that they can make it big, but it’s important to heal as well.

    He DID have relationships with other males, too. It is abominable that his wife of less than two years and his daughter disrespect Cary's life by lying and denying his relationship with Randolph Scott, and Orry-Kelly. They are selfish, not loving bc if they were, they would not deny his truth.
