This man should have 5 Oscars by now. Just think of all the incredible roles he's had, including one's in just okay movies that his performance elevates.
I like the fact that i can watch The Dark Knight knowing Gary Oldman could play all of the characters himself... alot of people who haven't seen Gary's previous work might not understand this, but Heath's Joker, although amazing, has quite a bit owed to Gary.
Look at how many actors without a US accent they had starring in The Dark Knight acting with a US accent... Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman.
Ok, why does every interview with Gary Oldman about the Dark Knight seem to brush over the fact that he arguably gave the best performance in the whole movie. I think the reason that Gary is so underrated is that he is just so seamless that you can't see the edges of his character, and you almost forget that he's actually acting. I don't want to sound like a pretentious prick (any more than I must), but I think that crafting Gordon would have been much harder than the Joker. <3 Gary!
strikes me as the college professor type. seems like he's super awkward outside of acting but great in character (teaching/lecturing vs talking in passing for professors)...that's just how he strikes me personally..
@MacMarija Based on the point I was making your comment doesn't make sense. I'm saying he can't be that great if he fails in marriage that many times. The wife not letting him go means she's probably the good one trying to make the relationship work instead of giving up with divorce. And I like him just fine, he's actually one of my favorite actors, but I know nothing about him as a person other than he's bad at marriage.
@MsHarryPotter1998 i didn't know he was Sirius either! It blows my mind! I have always known him for Commissioner Gordon in the Batman movies!! I just found out that he is Sirius and I'm in shock right now!
Gary Oldman is an amazing actor, one of my all-time favorites. Plus, he's got what is probably the absolute best American accent I've ever heard on an actor. The man is a chameleon.
If he's never even been nominated for an Oscar the motion picture world has really gone to shit. Gary Oldman is one of the greatest actors i've ever watched grace the silver screen. His ability to transform into any sort of role is incredible. The academy awards have shamed themselves for never including this man as one of it's nominees, let alone winner.
You know why Gary Oldman is awesome too? He seems like someone who analyzes his characters WAY more than other actors. He dives into the character (much like Heath did) but he has done such a great VARIETY of roles. I personally like his villains (Zorg from Fifth Element and Stansfield from Leon) but he can play the 'good' guy equally as amazing. The scene where his family is held hostage (Dark Knight) makes you literally think that his family is held hostage because of him alone.
He has always played the bad guys, but now he has become famous in the main stream for playing two really good hearted characters....Sirius Black and Gordon
I think Gary Oldman is so underrated purely because he's so flippin' amazing at making such unique and believable characters. So much so that I doubt most people even know that he's the same person when they seem him in different movies.
When I saw his name in the credits for Black Ops I was amazed. I then watched Leon and realised he was in that as well. This bloke has got serious talent :D
Gary Oldman can act cirlces around heath or anyone in ''The Dark Knight'', respect to heath, but if heath deserved an oscar (because he died cough cough), Gary deserves about 6.
heath ledger did in the movie what gary oldman used to do when he was younger. he completely transformed himself like a chameleon. he was like a younger version of gary oldman, but too bad.
@FullOutRunner I really didn't expect him to be British or Reznov. I was really suprised. Also, did y'know Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans) is Alex Mason and Ice Cube is Bowman? they get loads of celebs for games now :)
@urbangekko yeah i know, I never expected it but my brother told me it sounded like sam worthington so I looked it up and there it was! I think Arnold Shwartenegger or however you spell it should play a voice actor.
@rohankn Yeah, it's a crime that this guy has never gotten one. But what matters is the fact that he KNOWS damn well that he's better than 99.9 percent of the actors in Hollywood, and so do we :)
I cannot believe he's never even been nominated for an Oscar... He's a great actor, every movie I've seen him in, he nails the role. Even The Fifth Element, he was superb. His performance in Leon was especially scary.
It's funny that he says he doesn't tend to get lost when other actors have said they get lost in Gary oldmans performance!
