Gary Oldman talks Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Kermode and Mayo

[frogtastic1000]

is gary oldman still in character?

[slewis]

Hated the film, LOVED the performances.

[Spaceman2921]

@slewis

But it was a good film...

[ReeceJackson]

Brilliant interview and insight into the film

[PatriotCondor]

I'm so ticked. They aren't showing anywhere in the Seattle area. I checked online, and no one has it listed anywhere. I guess I'll have to wait for Blu-Ray. :(

[13mysticmeg]

Gary Oldman & Mark Kermode should do the show together...two intelligent characters :)

[mesmiths]

Leon!

[JONATHAN3034]

Does anyone else find this interview incredibly awkward when Simon asks Gary to briefly outline the Cold War for listeners. He clearly doesn't know enough about it and tries to bat it away by saying he was more interested in girls and Bowie at the time but Simon tries again! The way he fumbles to start sentences that he has no clue about finishing is probably one of the most difficult things I have watched recently. Just listen to the pause when he first has a stab at it and says... er, yeah.

[andross637]

@JONATHAN3034 Gary Oldman has always been hesitant in interviews, especially when politics are involved. Everyone knows a bit about the Cold War, be probably just isn't comfortable talking about it.

[YouAreAllReallyBorin]

No doubt about it Oldman is one of the more interesting British actors..... but that film was so bloody awful!! Check the BBC series which is SO much better.

[andross637]

@YouAreAllReallyBorin Bloody awful my scrote. Super film.

[myviperroom]

Esa voz!! *_* i <3 you Gary!!

[hairychris444]

Interested to see this. The TV series with Alec Guinness is well worth picking up too.

[Mankind081]

07:25 Gash Chamber

LOL

[alsybroth]

Don't feed the trolls. End of.

[oneworldfamily]

3:51 did Gary say 'longevidy' aka Smashy and Nicey?!

[TarLar7]

@themenaceanish I could say the same thing about Kubrick then

[TarLar7]

@nixsogutstudios He's English u silly cunt

[acepeeter]

he's a great actor, but what a boring bastard

[shawndimery]

Hey its Mason Verger!

[TheKlink]

The thing with glances is that nobody's ever truly sure of all the meanings loaded into them. Or I don't anyway.

[TheInceptionLover]

Gary Oldman - One of the best things to come out of Britain (:

[themenaceanish]

@TheInceptionLover Shame he doesn't live in Britain nor does he care about your shitty country LMFAO!

[themenaceanish]

@TheInceptionLover Is that so? I hate to break the party dude but he's lived here in America for the past 30 years XD. He's as english as President Obama lmfao! You brits really are funny lol!

[lordtufty]

3 LADs

[rumleech]

Has the intensity of someone like Oliver Reed but tempered with the precision of an older generation of actors (Geilgud. Richardson, Guinness). I'd pay money to watch Oldman mowing the lawn.

[TheHappydead]

one of the finest actors ever, even if the films 'meh' Gary is always great

[Caspar33]

Great post. What is so admirable is the lack of performance. 'Getting the job right' seems to be the only concern. Just saying it as it is. And on screen an extraordinary and unique actor.

[degsbabe]

@themenaceanish

hey A**hole-thats what the native americans(indians) said about the likes of you.

We don't want you here!!!

[ActionMirror]

Kathy Burke is SO GOOD in Nil By Mouth! I'm looking forward to seeing her again in Tinker Tailor

[antoireland09]

leon

[69crafty]

Give him an Oscar! Lord knows he deserves one.

[nixsogutstudios]

Lol garys British accent is crazy good but he is American and dats DAT even if this movie is about Wales on Scotland.

[SimplyDustinHoffman]

@nixsogutstudios

Gary Oldman is British.

[MrBusalot]

@nixsogutstudios Wow

[Filmzie]

@nixsogutstudios

I weap for your life. It's about England idiot, and Gary is as English as they come. Hence his accent.

[djeremybolton]

I love Gary Oldman, think he's a brilliant and all, so don't get me wrong here -- but aren't they ladies frames he's wearing? Actually, the whole outfit he's got on there, if you squint to blur out the moustache it could well be some middle aged bingo lady sat next to Kermode.

[chanceie12]

Lol at comment from american a few pages back , sure he lives in america what good british actor wouldnt that is where 80% of the movies he stars in our shot .. and if he really didnt give a shit about Britain why does he do indie british movies for pennies for??

[SurinderismCinema]

"Possibly the best British actor ever?"

Try possibly the best screen actor ever!

[MrBronzefonz]

Gary has also had a problem he has done fantastic roles but they do get sidelined by other actors in the same film Leon- JFk- Batman for example.  In Hollywood you get the felling to them he is the greatest supporting actor where us in the UK see him as the greatest leading actor

[Kretek]

Gary Oldman and Tomas Alfredson, this need to be trully a great movie. I cant wait to watch this movie.

[ThorFan4Life]

I see he has the Gordon mustache back. YES

[SharkTheBruce]

Gary Oldman can not be touched by any actor for true greatness. The kind of greatness only an British actor could produce.

[Kretek]

@SharkTheBruce And you are? Oh yes, British. How humble human being you are.

[SharkTheBruce]

@Kretek and proud

[Kretek]

@SharkTheBruce Yeah. I can see that.

[RandomHL]

In the dictionary, under Chameleon you will see a picture of Gary Oldman : D

[MrBronzefonz]

From South London and a Millwall fan 100% pure class 

[ThePurpleView]

Probably the coolest man ever.

[SpeedFreakNO]

@ThePurpleView And possibly the scariest, when he wants to :)

[Regenmacher175]

Commissioner Gordon talking to Batman and the Joker.

[donteetpeople]

Yes, Gary Oldman is British. He's lived in America for two decades yet still has a British accent.

[TheInfinityParadox]

Oldman is rocking the Commisioner Gordon moustache.

[LaStr8JacqEtte]

As Gary is a true British legend.

[themenaceanish]

Gary Oldman is NOTHING like Marlon Branda lol! Now Brando was a true American legend.

[Mavarik]

@themenaceanish but gary oldman is english......

[MrBronzefonz]

Could you say that he plays Smiley like Brando played Vito Corleone where it is delivery of dialogue instead of open mannerisms

[outerlimits007]

I have to go see this!

[Radioheadhead90]

GUYS!!! Do not respond to "themenaceanish". He is a troll, and a bad one at that. Just go to his channel and read the channel comments posted there for proof.

[aeropagitica]

It doesn't matter where Oldman lives, just that he acts in material that is available to lots of people, as his acting is of a very high calibre.

[WarlordRising]

Fine actor. I think this will be his moment. He's had many. Alot of them in the 90s, but this should/could be the film that gives him alot of awards.

[Siriusiana]

Great interview with the great Gary Oldman! :)

[MrBronzefonz]

Tinker Tailor Solider Spy plot spoiler : Dumbledore dies

[degsbabe]

Long, long overdue that gary oldman recieves a MAJOR award for his acting ability and his contribution to art.

Born and bred in the UK as i've been - i,ve felt my nationality meaning less and less.

Given the chance- USA here i come!!

[themenaceanish]

@degsbabe Please don't come here. I know how you brits are all lovey dovey about us Americans and it's actually quite pathetic lmfao!

[sprucemoose18]

@themenaceanish Gary Leonard Oldman (born 21 March 1958) is an English actor and musician. From Wikipedia, my friend.

[themenaceanish]

@sprucemoose18 Lives in Santa Barbara, California, The USA! LOL! Funny how most british actors who made it big here live here :D I can understand why they would wanna leave your shitty country XD.

[sprucemoose18]

@themenaceanish Well if they made it big in America, they likely would live in America, as it means more work for them. Doesn't really have anything to do with hating the home country if you think about it logically.

[themenaceanish]

@sprucemoose18 Michael Jackson made it big all over Europe and around the world, did he move to Europe and live there? LOL!

Best example is Stanley Kubrick. The greatest director of all time made American movies and made it big here but lived in britain for the later part of his life.

[sprucemoose18]

@themenaceanish Michael Jackson was a singer, and singers, especially those that sing in English, are well known all over the world. Actors are a different matter, because a majority are only well known in their home countries, A list actors being the notable exception. Yes, most actors would live in America mainly because most of the really well known ones worldwide are American, plus America has a lot of directors and the money to make many films regularly. This, of course, benefits an actor.

[HillierSmithStudios]

Gary Fucking Oldman....enough said

[Blink182Omar]

Wise. Gary's wise.

[themenaceanish]

He's not british, he's American.

[Meursault1942]

@themenaceanish He was born in London...

[themenaceanish]

@Meursault1942 Who gives a shit where he was born, he lives in Amerca and has done for the last 20 years. He doesn't give a shit about britain XD.

[joshlovescranking]

@themenaceanish I hope your a troll.



[Meursault1942]

@themenaceanish When your work is done predominately in America, then it makes sense to live there. You seem a little bitter, as if he's actually offended you.

[themenaceanish]

@Meursault1942 LOL! He hasn't offended me :D I'm just saying he lives here in the States now and loves it here. He doesn't give a shit about his native country lol!

[Meursault1942]

@themenaceanish Should've known you were American...

[ExtremeBogom]

@themenaceanish

What are you on man? Gary is Brit through and through.

[RadioDetuned]

@themenaceanish Grow up, and get out more.

[lordtufty]

Gazza!
