Editing Jason Isaacs (section)

===2010s===
He provided the voice of [[Ra's al Ghul]] in the DC animated film, ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]'' (2010), and also the voice of [[Sinestro]] in the DC animated film ''[[Green Lantern: Emerald Knights]]'' (2011). In 2011, he starred as [[Jackson Brodie]] in a BBC adaptation of [[Kate Atkinson (writer)|Kate Atkinson]]'s ''[[Case Histories (TV series)|Case Histories]]''.

Isaacs starred as Detective Michael Britten in the NBC police procedural fantasy drama series ''[[Awake (TV series)|Awake]]'', which premiered on 1 March 2012, and ended in May 2012. After Britten gets into a terrible car wreck with his family, his dreams begin to take on two alternate realities, one in which his wife died in the crash and one in which his son died. Says Isaacs about the ambitious premise: "There's no question it's challenging. We've got a bunch of very experienced writers who have written things from HBO shows to ''[[The X-Files]]'', to ''[[24 (TV series)|24]]'' and everything in between. And they are challenged. All of them have said that it's the hardest job that they've ever had. But sometimes that's a good thing. If it comes easily, that they could write in their sleep, I personally wouldn't want to act – and I think the audience wouldn't want to watch."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.channelguidemagblog.com/index.php/2012/02/24/jason-isaacs-new-nbc-series-awake |title=Jason Isaacs on his new NBC series, 'Awake' |first=Karl |last=Paloucek |date=24 February 2012 |work=Channel Guide |access-date=5 March 2012 |archive-date=1 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301141926/http://www.channelguidemagblog.com/index.php/2012/02/24/jason-isaacs-new-nbc-series-awake/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
