Not sure if just one additional language makes one a polyglot, but as there has been threads about Tony Blair and Hugh Laurie I take the liberty of posting a link to an interview with Jason Isaacs, also known as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.

BBC Mundo has a written article -
Habla el malo de Harry Potter (and a link to the recorded interview in Spanish).

Of course, I just thought (and felt) that this section was more intended for discussing people with several languages (Mezzofanti, Kato Lomb, Ardaschir, Barry Farber et.c.), even if just one extra is good enough. :)

Anyway, I enjoyed listening to Jason Isaacs' Spanish, and understood most of the interview (although there were a lot of words I didn't know). I think he (and the reporter, whose nationality is unknown to me) spoke with a clear Spanish accent (to my ears).
