His first major film role was playing Joseph in ''Film/TheNativityStory'', which led to supporting roles in movies such as ''Film/{{Robin Hood|2010}}'', ''Film/BodyOfLies'', and ''Film/Drive2011''. His lead role in Creator/TheCoenBrothers' ''Film/InsideLlewynDavis'' brought him to further prominence, which he then parlayed into landing a prominent role as Poe Dameron in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' sequel trilogy, first appearing in 2015's ''Film/TheForceAwakens''. In addition to other major franchise fare (''Film/XMenApocalypse'', ''Film/Dune2021'') and other action works, Isaac also has a penchant for lower-key, more psychological dramas, such as ''Series/ScenesFromAMarriage2021'' and ''Film/TheCardCounter''.
