The Book Of Eli - Gary Oldman Interview

[GuiltyBlackGuy]

I thought Oldman made a fantastic enemy. Anyone have a movie title suggestion for another role he is played as evil? idc how old lol

[Eduard392]

@GuiltyBlackGuy stansfield in the professional, drexl in true romance, state of grace

[GuiltyBlackGuy]

@Eduard392 thanks ill check them out

[TriggerTheT]

I don't like to see him as the villian, although he played the part well. I loved Denzel in his part.

Gary Oldmans next to get his Oscar...

[knut761]

It suprises me that so many don't know he's English, myself am "suprised" over the fact that the Englishman hasn't recieved any Oscars yet.

[thesteve120]

He looks a bit like Eric Clapton.....no bad thing, also my favorite actor, among the best my nation has to offer

[Tianoevanova]

Mr. Oldman has a tendency to play bad guys whose dark adventures end in tragedy. Other than that, we love him because he´s fucking crazy!

[SpiderXxPirate]

haha I've commented on this so many times. But I finally got around to watching this movie (loved it), and Gary as Carnegie was just so . . . I freaking hated him. I hated his voice, his facial expressions, his limp - and then I see this interview and it's just the polar opposite. What a fantastic actor <3

[SpiderXxPirate]

I swear to god that wonderful scarf of his is sewn on to his neck or something! But what a beautiful, talented person he is <3

[GrizBearman]

Gary Gordon Carnegie Sirius Oldman!

[camp168]

Gary Oldman is a GENIUS!!!

[HolouisePetrucci]

I'd tap that.

[EmilyBlack01]

I think that Gary Oldman should have played Haymitch Abernathy from the Hunger Games.

[konradfat]

Get everyone...

"Everyone?"

EVERRRRRYOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!

Oh and i love Zorg :D

[BorisTheBladeful]

best actor

[rsims3rd]

lol victor reaznov

[AbominableBunny]

Amazing how he played a really good good guy but he was able to play a really nasty bad guy with no trouble at all.

[abdullah007ism]

he is reznovs voice in call of duty world at war!!

[MPmrbigusdickus]

Man Gary old man is a living legend.

[ImGhastly]

This film has SUCH resemblance to Fallout 3. It's like he's Colin Moriarty.

[WarrIORcAt76]

he is one of my favourites!!!! better than robert pattinson and taylor launter or whatever his name is by far!!!!!!! go gary!!! ps i like ur laugh!!!

[Exodusdharma]

In the movie Leon, playing one of his best roles.

[DantePierotti29]

talk about ANY performance in the last 20 years...Gary can surpass them ALL. Sure, he can be surpassed in ONE role or film, but watch Dracula, JFK, True Romance, Dark Knight and Immortal Beloved....he is the best and most versatile actor on this planet.

[Brawls05]

@DantePierotti29 Don't forget "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead"

[miscaltc]

@DantePierotti29 Indeed. He is one of the best. I love how Oldman gets so into the roles he plays that you forget he's acting. That is true talent. Nice mention of Immortal Beloved, btw, he was fantastic in that one.

[DantePierotti29]

@miscaltc The funny thing is you see some actors of his caliber saying that they "transform into the character", but I've seen interviews with Oldman where he basically says "Any actor who says that is full of it".....so the fact he plays these characters so amazingly and is his normal self the second the second the cameras cut is just amazing to me

[miscaltc]

@DantePierotti29 I agree. I wonder if he's kind of referring to how some actors let fame get to them. I love how humble he is: he's very talented but he isn't arrogant about it. Seems like a nice guy who's very down to earth, even willing to laugh with the interviewer, which is very refreshing.

[DantePierotti29]

@miscaltc I really don't know who he's referring to, I love how even before he starts the interview he asks how everything in Canada is and everything. He deserves an Oscar. For some reason, to make a comparison, he reminds me of the band Rush...one of the best in the world yet ignored. Rush has always been ignored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gary has always been ignored by the Academy....yet each are masters of their craft with an enormous fan base.

[miscaltc]

It's sweet how he does that - shows he's thinking of other countries. Academy: I think they're pointless, imo. Many of the best actors get overlooked for whatever stupid reason (politics, nepotism). Sadly, I haven't listened to much Rush. I've been meaning to - just never had the time, they do Canada proud though. (They're huge here) I'm wondering if it's because both Gary as an actor and Rush as a band haven't sold out yet that they're ignored. Who knows...

[sgauden02]

Gary Oldman is one of those actors who's good at just about ANY role. He's done a VARIETY of roles throughout his career.

[Renegadeairsoft]

I loved him in the professional to

[youneekk]

Harold Camping was RIGHT about May 21, click on my channel to see...

[batrama310]

Scary Gary

[MicheleTheEchelon]

I love him <3

[renrakali]

"kung fu" LOL

[RWT683]

Wow, he acts almost all his roles in a baritone, American voice. Can you imagine if he only used his native accent? He would be a totally unknown actor. At any rate, he's one of the versatile actors out there.

[SuperAPRoject]

GAry Oldman, simply THE BEST!!

[hawkman2111]

@SuperAPRoject Yea he is!!!!!!!!

[misscarly12]

Funny how this video focuses on Gary's character in the movie while half of these people here are busy maundering about Global Warming. tsssssss.

[weeny321]

NO COMMISIONER GORDON, DONT KILL ELI. BATMAN NEEDS YOUR HELP IN POST APOCALYPTIA

[miladamilyway]

GARY OLDMAN is a Republican and he does not believe in Global Warming even though the icecaps are melting. I personally showed him once an article about environmental destruction and he dismissed it as "Propaganda" If you don't know the man, don't post anything here like you do.

[Siriusiana]

@miladamilyway Personally? Prove it or it didn't happen. If you cant prove it, dont pollute the air here.

[freereg29]

HES BRITISH? he sounds gay. hes freaking manly in book of eli and dark knight WHAT THE FUCK

[misscarly12]

@freereg29 YES he IS british, Now what's wrong? Don't be a racist!

[freereg29]

@misscarly12 his voice is

[myownruin187]

Hes askes if he can say the wors pimp but kets the fuck word roll right out! Lol great actor definatly one of my fav!

[511Garcia]

@miladamilyway shut up

[ArmenianBeatboxer]

@miladamilyway seriously shut the fuck up

[espada9]

@miladamilyway: The Earth has been in a cooling trend for the last decade, the SOUTHERN Ice cap (Antartica) is GROWING, not that any of these FACTS will convince you from drinking the globalist kool-aid. I doubt you even have a scientific background (I do). Silly mindless lemming.

[TheCardolan]

@miladamilyway he didn't say that. he commented on how he got annoyed at how people yell "global warming" every heatwave and every cold period. He also mocked a goverment idea to combat global warming by painting roofs white so they reflect more light back (which is insane as a way to combat global warming). I too get annoyed at morons who yell global warming every time it snows for more then a week

[ErikNorseman]

I had to favourite this for the first 30 seconds alone. I love that we've gotten to the stage where people can just laugh off the theory of global warming. I don't think it helped those people much to rebrand it to "climate change" either; people realise that a changing climate is natural. The world is always moving in or out of larger or smaller ice ages.

[LisaSpringfield]

He looks younger here than in Batman.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

He looks like Thom Yorke xD

[thecleaner084]

@Mr11MUSICMAN are you drunk!?

[timemperorable]

worst interviewer EVER!!!

[Insulinwax]

This interviewer makes me nervous. At 8:00 she's is trying to squeeze in as many words as possible without breathing and Gary looks at her like "wow, stop talking" and interrupt her with his calm voice. It sounds really comical when he's talking so slowly and she's the exact opposite.

[Edude117]

@TheSnoop105 I still can't believe that this guy played Zorg in The Fifth Element. Jeez, he can do a killer country accent. I mean, I thought he was an American untill I saw this video!

[ghsc29]

I just don't get why this man didn't get an oscar...? or maybe he's too good for that

[MrFisherman17]

Get off my plane!!!

LOL

[eddyk3]

I've only ever seen Gary play american or russian characters... this is the first time i've heard his British accent.

[karadan100]

Yeah right. The rap party for Harry Potter will be one hell of a gig.

[twilightzonicstars]

This interviewer just needs to STFU.

[mjb785]

@twilightzonicstars I know right! "you were in Spider Man?" STFU dummy!!!

[asskickingness06]

this man is badass, hes even wearing the same jacket as the movie poster!!

[EradicationStation]

@asskickingness06 no hes not, lol

[kramer727272]

The best character actor that ever lived!

[MrCube111]

I love this guy.

[jmcorakitty]

That would be one Fuck Off Party! XD

[jmcorakitty]

That would be one Fuck Off Party! XD

[Incognita90]

oh God!! 52 years and still is sexy!! 

[coldbloodedboy11]

he played reznov in COD :O

[BeppeOwnage]

@coldbloodedboy11 he didnt play as him. he did reznovs voice acting.

[coldbloodedboy11]

@BeppeOwnage Dude? U no what i ment...

[johnytaff]

cant remember his screen name in the film leon but he was a bad ass in that too great british actor born to play baddies

[ShockwavesFTW]

STEP EIGHT: FREEDOM!

[lilolzers]

his name isn't gary oldman. HIS NAME IS VIKTOR REZNOV AND HE WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE.

[TheRabbit223]

he sounds like tim roth (cal lightman on fox's "Lie to Me"

[TheRabbit223]

the best villian gary oldman ever played was drexle in true romance... he was a fuckin nut in that movie. people who seen true romance know what im talkin about..

[Slakrrrrrr]

@ szewei85 don't forget Reznov!

[macjunky123]

@GJL4011 I see what you mean

[bluessingerr]

please God give me Gary Oldman.

[GJL0411]

His hair, facial hair and glasses reminds me of Johnny Depp for some reason

[TheRabbit223]

@GJL0411 yea i can see  what you mean... he kinda does look like johnny depp as the way johnny looks in "the tourist" only difference in hair color and obviously johnny depp is johnny depp and gary oldman is gary oldman, they are two completely different actors though.

[TroyArn]

actors are puppets. they do what they're told, and they'll pretty much believe whatever they're told to believe. not surpising since their job is to behave with certainty about shit they know literally nothing about. in the world of art, oldman is a legend. in the real world, he's a fucking idiot. go figure.

[gow75]

@TroyArn and you know this how????????????

[RapIsDeadly]

Global warming! lmao Has anyone seen Al Gore lately?? What a fucking faggot he is for promoting his idiotic false conspiracy. Now the key word is "climate change."

Don't believe these gangster politicians. They're out to fuck you in the ass by charging more for power supplies and to start up these dumbass "green" companies.

[BridgeDubstep]

one of the best movies ive ever seen!! good actor too!!

Liked it so much i made a DUBSTEP track out of it.... check my page if thats your thing!!

[hyperburger]

My name is Viktor Reznov! And I will have my rrrrevenge!!!

[fordmike]

It's Zorg!!!

[enerjon777]

@TheSnoop105 for real.

[ffinfinity1]

wait a sec? HE HAS A BRITISH ACCENT!?!

[Siriusiana]

@ffinfinity1 he IS British, so yeah.

[1337ASM]

@Siriusiana British people are always the villains. Batman Begins, The dark knight; Die Hard etc

[m00kyst]

@ffinfinity1 Yes he is one of the most successful British actors around, mainly because he is huge in holywood. Not every great actor is American lol

[milocrmgb]

@ffinfinity1 Um.... yeah. He's from England.

[ffinfinity1]

@milocrmgb Thanks for being the like 5th person to tell me -,-

[namxw]

Best line was in "Hannibal Lector" when asked why he let Hannibal cut off flesh from his face and feed it to the dogs, "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

[oceancity8324]

oh my god, how does he go from THIS voice to the character in The Book of Eli.

[Ryeder69]

most amazing method actor of all time.

[Siriusiana]

@Ryeder69 He is not a method actor, never stays in character. But I agree with you on the rest of your sentence :)

[Romanticvampyre6]

AAhh..he's loosing his english accent...

[Thebestever441]

@Romanticvampyre6 you can't lose an accent

[Romanticvampyre6]

@Thebestever441 I think you can. When a person,for example, is growing and living in the same region his accent forms affected by the surrounding people. I think it's the same when a person lives for many years in other country, his accent also can be influenced.

[Thebestever441]

@Romanticvampyre6 After puberty, it's impossible. That's why there are Chinese people talking exactly like an American. It's in your brain forever after puberty.

[tranquilityjoe]

bad joke, one of many overrated actors, definitly no brando

[IronicSoul999]

@tranquilityjoe Brando is Brando, a god actor who never actually learned his lines (and for the cheap shot had an eating problem), Gary Oldman actualy becomes his characters, as well unlike Brando went for more smaller and usaual roles, which is harder to compare to Brando's leading role movies.

[daryagurl]

Omg it's Sirius Black. Haha he's really cute.

[TheDayfornight]

you fuckin cocksucker you've been livin off an influence vile puss ridden cunt

[TheDayfornight]

LORDS OF THE URBAN JUNGLE

[fpascale789]

he looks like hes wearing his same costume in the poster behind him

[fpascale789]

he looks like johnny depp here

[Siriusiana]

Is he the cutest man or what?

I love that naughty laugh at 3:02

[urbangekko]

Thumbs up you REALLY didn't expect this bloke to be British. I mean srsly, I'm from London and I had no idea. And what I really didn't expect is for him to be Reznov in Call of Duty 0_o

[opmike343]

EEEEVEEERYYYYYOOOOONE!

[sk8erdude180x2]

reznov

[cheyla38]

I love the Beatles t-shirt

[beatriz15272]

[rentonPL]

[specialness16]

5:21 what a stupid interviewer

[surferdudette19]

Gary rocks as Sirius Black, so much that the character, however fictional, was profoundly endearing.

[SandboxDemocracy]

@surferdudette19 holy balls. i didnt know he played Sirius o.O

[surferdudette19]

@SandboxDemocracy dude.. xD well now ye know !

[SunshineeSue]

he is a GREAT actor!

[szewei85]

haha love this dude a lot...hope he still got great russian accent inside lolz...like him s ivan the terrorist in air force one

[IHRIBlackAce]

@szewei85 Yes, his role in Air force one is my favorite! I agree!

[MateiDark]

@szewei85 In Black Ops he is Victor Reznov so he still does have that great Russian accent!

[bigbosssolidsnake10]

@szewei85 He plays an awsome russian charactor in the new Call of Duty. I thought he would be russian in real life it was so good.

[szewei85]

@bigbosssolidsnake10 haha that is freaking cool...i m going 2 check it out...i didnt focus the voice acting bcoz i was busy shooting enemies haha

[bigbosssolidsnake10]

@szewei85 Vitkor Reznov is the char

[szewei85]

@bigbosssolidsnake10 haha yes i check dy...it was in mission 2 where he help the player escape the russia prison...awesome yo haha

[40Pacino]

@szewei85 Don't know if you play Call of Duty, but he plays a kick ass russian dude in two of the games. You can't even tell it's him. That's how awesome he is. Anyway, he's one of my favorite actors

[szewei85]

@40Pacino yeah that is cool bcoz he also is in my favorites too hehe xD

[SheSaidSheWas15]

@szewei85 Hes a voice actor in Call of duty, of russian character Ivan Reznov, amazing voice

[szewei85]

@SheSaidSheWas15 haha yeah i know...long live REZNOV xD

[MiyuGoreLivingDead]

si sooo fucking upsetting that even SANDRA BULLOCK have an Oscar and GARY don´t... the american film industry as gone to waste...

[dawz08]

EEVVVERRYYYONNEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[vaton]

@dawz08 jjajajajaja nice Leo the profetional

[gunterdak]

How come Gary hardly ever plays characters with english accents?

[notrllyamoviejunkie]

Gary Oldman is wearing hipster glasses, a leather jacket, and a Beatles t-shirt. How am I supposed to function coherently?

[viciousbloodbath]

That's cool. I got to see Gary Oldman while he was wearing that Beatles shirt! He is one of the greatest people you would ever meet, in person. Noting but great things to say about him. And in addition, he delivers some of the most brilliant performances caught on film; of Any time period. Anybody who knows anything, with his kind of diversity, Gary Oldman will always be one of the greatest actors of all time.

[settings99]

The Oscars are a joke. Why? Gary Oldman (which to me is one of the top 3 greatest actors living) has never been nominated. Even in the 90's which was to me the decade of his best performances. The Scarlet Letter, Bram Stoker's Dracula, True Romance, The Professional, Immortal Beloved, Hannibal? Still no nomination? How can I take the Oscars seriously?

[Andybato]

@settings99 I agree with your statement about the Oscars. To me, it's all about politics and is a popularity contest. Even I'm an American and I find the Oscars way too slow and too limited on their winners and selections, respectively speaking. Although I'm a proud citizen, the artistic sense of America (at least in the mainstream sense) has gone to waste.

[pacsayss]

he was awesome in the fifth element *****

[jonnazz3]

Gary Oldman is a terrific actor. he is the only actor that makes me cringe in his roles. Brilliant and a stunner with it

[Jawz1240]

he is now the voice of Resnov again in black ops! :)

[tornadoguitarclutz]

@Jawz1240 resnovs in black ops? wtf? sorry not a gamer
