The film was directed by Scott Z. Burns and premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2006, and aired on HBO in 2007. Isaac next wowed audiences with his performance as Joseph in New Line Cinema's Christmas drama, "The Nativity Story," which chronicled the arduous journey of Mary and Joseph, a miraculous pregnancy, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. It was the first film ever to premiere at the Vatican. The film was directed by Catherine Hardwicke and co-starred Academy Award nominees Keisha Castle-Hughes and Shohreh Aghdashloo.

A Juilliard-trained actor, Isaac garnered superb reviews playing the title role in "Romeo and Juliet" with Lauren Ambrose, directed by Michael Grief and in the musical revival of "Two Gentlemen of Verona," adapted by John Guare and Mel Shapiro both productions for the NY Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park program.
