Oscar Isaac

was so great in the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis. Will his next role involve music?

-

—Eudie P., Salt Lake City, Utah

A: Music is very much a part of Isaac’s life. But he doesn’t sing in his latest role, in the HBO miniseries Show Me a Hero, which concludes tonight. He stars as Nick Wasicsko, a young mayor of Yonkers, N.Y., who fought during the late 1980s for the desegregat­ion of public housing, sparking a heated racial crisis. In December, Issac, 35, will appear in the highly anticipate­d Star Wars: Episode VII as Rebel Alliance resistance pilot Poe Dameron.

A: For now, Rush Hour 4 is just a rumor, but who knows? Chan, 61, loves making movies—he’s made more than 120. His latest is Dragon Blade, in theaters Sept. 4 and also available on-demand. It’s a historical action-drama about the war in 48 B.C. between the Romans and Chinese over the Silk Road. (Go to Parade. com/jackiechan to read our interview with Chan.)
