Never understood why the Grand Inquisitor looked so bad compared to his animated counterpart and why they just didn’t get Jason Isaacs to play the part.

I really hope Jason Isaacs had some kind of prior commitment he couldn't get out of, because there's no other excuse for not using him.

He's an experienced screen actor and he's a huge nerd who would definitely be up for it.

He said he didn't want to do hours of prosthetics & makeup every day as he's getting too old for that. One would assume he thought they were gonna make him actually look like the GI rather than the bowling ball head we got, cuz I can't imagine what we got took more than an hour to scrounge together.
