JASON ISAACS: Good actor always signs twice too...

Hi Guys,

Yesterday called my PO Box and they said I got envelope from US. I quickly started to see what people I should expect there and narrowed a expectation to only 4 people (as I don't use PO Box that much anymore).

These were (from 2005 year)
Nicolas Cage
Stephen Baldwin
Mitch Pileggi
and err
Jason Isaacs

I really hoped for Nic Cage as I sent to him c/o SEPTEMBER production, but frankly that would be too much to expect. However I had a very strong feeling that it might be from Jason Isaacs, as I sent him 2 requests this fall. The first was in Septempber, the second in October. Both to BROTHERHOOD PRODUCTIONS, but first sent to production company address in California (thanks to Melanie for this) and second to real set address (Thanks to Larry).

Well when second requests arrived recently I thought he wouldn't reply to that first one as I sent nearly identical message, but explained in the second one that he 'might get both', so he wouldn't think I am tricking him.

Despite that Jason signed many photos, I sent AWFUL number of pics to him - but that was first request (in September)!!!

As we discussed with Melanie (she's my collecting friend who stays out of main discussion groups) this question before and we agreed that we'd love to get our favorite actors on most of their character pics.

And that was the task I decided to push ("the envelope") through Jason Isaacs. I wrote to him that if he thinks I am crazy that he 'd skip photos he don't want to sign. But I'd love to get all his characters or nearly all signed.... So I sent many pictures. Plus 2 more for my friends Tom (EH Fan) and Char (huge Jason's fan).

Anyway --- when I got to Post Office in the evening - it really turned out to be Jason Isaacs.

Hi signed all 9 photos I sent to him!!! OMG! 8 Photos!

I attach most of them. Some of them are really doubles of the ones I got from second (first) request. Some are different. Especially several other roles. He put REALLY neat inscribtions on all of them!!!

Here they are:

1) Pic from RESIDENT EVIL (he had cameo appearance there)
he inscribed "Love + Laughs"
I think he was quite surprized I sent it as his appearance was only FEW SECONDS. Plus he did a voice narration there.
You may even don't know that he was in this film.

2) Pic from SHOPPING (one of his earliest films, 1994 or 1995 I think)
he inscribed "Leon, God I was so young"
I also think he was surprized to see that sort of picture popping up.

3) Pic from PATRIOT (great role and neat collage I made)
he signed "Leon, forgive me my sins"
I really loved this role and I think that one gave him golden ticket to Hollywood.

4) Pic from HARRY POTTER (same as I have in first batch)
he signed " Leon, never trust a man with a cane(cone?) but no limp / All the best"
Cool. If anyone can tell me what does it mean? Does he cross reference the HOOK role?

5) EVENT HORIZON pic (different one than I had before - a portrait)
he signed "Leon, save me from Hell"
Cool.

6) His candid shot (same as I had in first batch)
he signed "typical English sunburn / Love"
Nice photo where he is really who he is. A nice guy.

7) PETER PAN - Friends and Foes collage (same as I have)
he signed "It would have been all over if I'd be Captain Gun" signed plus small drawn hook
Cool.

8) Finally same 'sunburn' photo, dedicated not to me but to Charuwan (my good old friend) - she is a CRAZY fan of Jason
Isaacs. She met him few times but only have may be one autograph as she is very shy. The great things that he knows her well and why I included her is becaue she supplied me with the hi-res digital shoot of that 'sunburn'. It was shot at the celebrity amateur golf event where she met Jason, so I though that would be really special to her.
Jason signed: "Char, you are my hero"

What is interesting is that most likely these signings took place in different time as it signed by silver and previous was signed by black sharpie. And this one was mailed not from Rhode Island, may be California (TIRE THREAD postmark) vs the round Rhode Island ones.

This really shows kindness of Jason as both letters were the same and in the second one I did referred to a first one and said that you may actually get 2 requests so if you don't like I will be perfectly happy if you honor just one...

WHAT A NICE GUY! I MUST SEND HIM SOMETHING FOR CHRISTMAS.

Well, that's it.
Sent in Sept 2. To Californian address of BROTHERHOOD production office.


Cheers,

Leon

PS: I need to think if I can trade some of the dublicates... :)

D.J., HOOK, MALFOY and just a nice guy Jason Isaacs

Hello friends,

Received today (finally, which I actually already though to write off) a 'hellish' responce from Jason Isaacs. I probably hit him hard with my request, but he was ace to me to sign all 5 photos that I sent to him.....

I really had many photos that I just loved to get signed and wrote if he feels that's too many for me that's ok to skip some. But he was cool to sign all. Actually 4 was for me and I had one for my EVENT HORIZON friend Tom, who is not a generic autograph collector, but who is my EH 'brother' and who until now even didn't know that it is possible to receive autographs by mail. He gathered quite a massive EVENT HORIZON collection and I just wanted to help him with something that I can, especially that he bought some autographs already.
So I enclosed additional EH pic to him that Jason signed too...

Jason is super guy and he sure remembers me. He wrote on one photo 'Thanks for sticking with me all these years". This really means a lot to me. And by the way (I may be wrong of course) - but his TTM reply to me was the first and for several years the ONLY reply TTM that he did.

Of course I continued supported him in all his projects and he was kind to reply to me from time to time. So after a while I gathered quite a collection of his autographs. Anyhow, despite the fact that I got several of his autographs, including very rare promo and letter signed - this is never the less AWESOME success.

He signed:


1) A very neat and quality EH picture 10x8 ISP collage
2) A very quality Lucius Malfoy pic with warm inscribtion 10x8 C ISP
3) A candid golf tournament photo that I got from his fans 6x8c ISP
4) A fun PETER PAN collage with Jeremy Sumpter 10x8 "FRIENDS AND FOES" that I will try
my best to get signed by Jeremy too... 11x8 ISP
5) EH collage to Tom (skip that)

I used address c/o BROTHERHOOD (RHODE ISLAND address that was forwarded to me from someone else - thank you, you know who you are!!!).

Out: 28 Sept 2005
In: 6 Dec 2005
Time: 69 Days


I am very happy with this one!

WOW!

Leon
