Let us hope that Jason Isaacs will always be around to appear on The White Lotus.
Because so far, the Harry Potter alum has served up a spellbinding performance as Timothy Ratliff—the family patriarch whose world is slowly crumbling after an illegal financial venture comes to light, causing him to turn to his wife’s Lorazepam to cope.
It is during the show’s recent Mar. 9 episode that, in his drug induced stupor, Jason’s character accidentally lets his robe fall open to reveal his genitalia in front of kids Lochlan (Sam Nivola), Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook). But no, that wasn’t Lucius Malfoy’s actual wand.
“That wasn’t his real penis,” Sam told TV Insider in an interview published Mar. 13, while Sarah further confirmed, “It was a prosthetic.”
And, while the actors’ reactions in the show are ones of horror at seeing too much of their dad, Sam and Sarah fondly recall the day on set.
“It was really funny,” Sarah explained. “He was very excited to do it. I think he took pride in the prosthetic.”
To which Sam echoed, “He’s like, ‘It’s my fake d–k scene today!’”
