Jason Isaacs' rich, aristocratic voice for Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films conveys menace and haughtiness. In contrast, his real voice is much more laid-back, even carrying a little bit of his London upbringing. He has said that using an exaggerated posh drawl helped to convey Malfoy's elitism and dislike of others. Lately, for example, playing Captain Lorca in Star Trek: Discovery, he has given himself over to different cadences, really displaying his versatility in voice work to find the character.
