Jason Isaacs stars as Cary Grant in the new TV series “Archie,” which is now available on BritBox. Despite his fame in Hollywood, there were still many aspects of the charismatic actor that remained unknown to the public.

Isaacs stated, “I am not Cary Grant.” And the fact is, neither was Cary Grant, that is the main idea.

Despite appearing in over 70 movies, his most significant role was that of Cary Grant, a persona he developed and adopted. Despite being known as a leading man in Hollywood, he was actually born in England and grew up in poverty under the name Archibald Leach. According to Isaacs, Grant essentially created the character of Cary Grant as a means of escaping his true self, advancing his career, and confronting his inner struggles.

Last year, “Sunday Morning” was being filmed in Spain while “Archie” was in production. According to Jeff Pope, the show’s creator and writer, Cary Grant was known for his roles in screwball comedies and as a charming romantic lead early in his career. However, Alfred Hitchcock saw something in him and cast him in more sinister thrillers. This story delves into what Hitchcock saw in Grant and is a real-life thriller.
