On July 17, the official Facebook page for Star Wars Rebels gave a teaser video of the primary antagonist, and the voice actor was revealed as well - none other than Jason Isaacs. More commonly known as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, Isaacs also portrayed Colonel William Tavington in the Mel Gibson film The Patriot.
Pablo Hidalgo of Lucasfilm Story Group was quoted saying that, "When the Inquisitor shows up, it means something is significant," so this can hint Kallus will be the one doing most of the chasing, and when things reach a climax or breaking point, Isaac's character will appear.
Having previous villain and complex character experience, Isaacs seems an ideal choice to voice this Imperial character. He does not go so far as to call the Utapaun a villain, however, stating in the video that he's an "unpleasant character" and the title of villain "depends on (the viewer's) point of view."
We've heard somewhere that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view, so that is still to be determined here. Star Wars Rebels is slated to debut in fall of 2014 on Disney XD.
