I read that as soon as he was cast as Lucius Malfoy, the first thing he did was run out and buy all the Harry Potter books then available, and immediately read them.
News Jason Isaacs Joins Star Trek: Discovery as Captain Lorca

I am very pleased by this. Good choice. 
He's an actor with a great deal of screen presence.
I agree with the poster above that I'm kinda expecting him to be killed off by the end of the series though (bearing in mind that this is the first Star Trek captain who isn't actually the series' lead, as compared to Number One being the audience identication character.) But that could just be me being overly cynical. Maybe.

I think it's a typo. He's Captain L. Orca, an amphibious humanoid from the ocean world Pacifica.
Shame on U.
Yeah, that article was hilariously bad, especially in describing safety stats. "While air travel is still the safest way to get to your destination, crossing an ocean on a boat sure as shit ain't second." Apparently, because "between 1995 and 2011, according to CruiseJunkie.com, a whopping 165 persons went missing".
Now here's some of the other stats you asked for: Odds of being killed on a flight = 1 in 29.4 million per flight. Train fatalities = 700 out of 650 million passengers = 1 in 0.9 million per year. Motor vehicle = 1 in 9000 per year.
Now based on the 165 figure, we have about 10 missing per year from 1995 to 2011, out of 20 million cruises per year, so odds are 1 in 2 million per cruise. But that's sure as shit nowhere near second place, right, Cracked?
Jason Isaacs in Star Trek...
"Shall I give you a lesson, sir, in the Prime Directive? Or perhaps your sons..."

Come to think of it- he'd make a good Garth of Izar, as well...
I'm still holding out for Rommie spy and the whole captain thing is a red herring.
He could definitely pull off Garth level crazy. I think that's why they told us his name right away so we wouldn't froth at the mouth over the possibility and then burn down the internet when we find out he's not.
I want spies too, but not the captain. I think he's gonna be wearing red under his gold shirt. Killing main characters is trending these days.
If they wanted a very killable British guy they should have gotten Sean Pertwee. Dude seems to die in everything he's in.
And he was in one of my favorite horror films ever, along with Isaacs... Event Horizon!
I'm really excited for this casting. This is great. The cast is shaping up very nicely.

He already has a job, raising Bruce Wayne.
Isaacs could have been the Cardassian who brought down Dukat, beating him at his own game.
If I remember correctly in the XXIII century the Cardassians are peaceful and do not have bad relations with the federation, it is a republic that promotes poetry and art.
The famous Cardassian Writer Iloja of Prim finished his years living in vulcan
Speaking of poetry, Captain Lorca's (presumable) namesake, Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, was killed by Fascists at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. I wonder if Captain Lorca will suffer a similar fate…
A civil war in the federation?
Not necessarily.
An attempted coup? Similar to turkey?
