Oldman is one of those rare actors that's never full of himself and realizes movies are what they are for the most part, just a job. One that he happens to be very very good at but he knows at the end of the film he's still just Gary Oldman, playing someone else. One of the truly great character actors of his generation.
I agree. When he thanked America for giving him "livelihood" at the Oscars, I was kinda taken aback because you seldom see that kind of humbleness in Hollywood stars. He loves his job, excels at it, enjoys it and is grateful for it. Down-to-earth and awesome guy.
His ability to work just sink his soul into literally any role, no matter how dumb or how much he hates it, he is gives it his all and brings us absolutely legendary performances.
I find it fascinating how so many great actors have completely different approaches to playing a character on the one hand you have someone like Daniel Day Lewis who never breaks character even when he’s not shooting and on the other you’ve got Gary Oldman whose just Gary playing a character but they’re both amazing.
Gary Oldman as 'Drexl Spivey' is one of his top favorite characters! He accepted to part on hearing " "you play a white guy who thinks he's a black pimp. " I'll do it!" I keep replying that part over and over.
I think Smiley WAS hands down his best performance. He carried the whole movie by just being quietly menacing with the slightest eye movements and subtlest nuances in his voice. it was mind-blowing. Far more difficult than other crazy psycho villain / famous historical figure roles which are, at the end of the day, not that hard to pull off for an actor of his chameleon skills.
The upshot is he finally won an Oscar, for his incredible performance as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. The downside is this should be like his 5th or 6th Oscar win and should have had multiple Oscar nominations going back to the 1980s. Oldman should’ve won for Tinker Tailer, but The Artist seemed to be the favorite that year. That is if we thought the Academy Awards were truly honoring the best in film every year.
You have to campaign in order to be nominated for an Oscar, like running for office. It's self driven. I don't think Oldman really cared too much about it back in the day. Now that actors are like 'brands' and surrounded by yes men, their people campaign for them and so everyone is nominated for anything these days it seems.
I've watched it a few days ago and I didn't even realize it was him until I saw the credits. Weird to think about, since he didn't even wear any make-up or nothing.
When I went through his Filmography, I realized that there were several movies I've seen where he's in it, but I didn't even recognize him. That's how good he is.
The second time I saw True Romance I saw Gary Oldman in the credits and was like "huh, he played Drexl ... are you kidding me". I just didn't recognise him cause I just saw the role. That's how good of an actor he is.
Some of the most memorable performances in cinema history but if he stopped you on the street and asked for the time I doubt you'd recognise him. Extraordinary acting talent.
When people ask me, "What's an example of someone fabricating a bullshit comment in a desperate hope for likes in the TH-cam comments section?" I just direct them to you.

@@josephcarl4167 :) exactly. If you need Tom Hardy to tell you how great the greatest actor in film is than you may need to catch up on your film education lol.
@@josephcarl4167 I think Hardy can disappear into roles and characters too. I don't know if he'll ultimately prove to be quite as good as Oldman, but Hardy is super talented.
I was shocked when I heard that. There have always been actors who don't like rehearsal and prefer to act in the moment, but I thought they were the exceptions. Watch old Inside the Actor's Studios interviews. A lot of the featured actors love to rehearse.

State of Grace. Amazing performance by Gary Oldman. Love that film. Came out the same year as Goodfellas and got overshadowed but it's still a great film.
By far the best actor of this generation. When he plays a role, he truly becomes the character. You forget that you are watching Gary Oldman and just see the character. How he doesn't have an Oscar is beyond me. Far too many actors with Oscars that are just playing caricatures of themselves.
It's kinda ironic that someone who has built his incredible career by making people forget he's British finally won the heart of Academy members by playing the quintessential British icon
One of the most humble, honest and down to earth actors in the world....I'm surprised he got to this age with the his own issues through life. Others would have left us by now. Watch the making of Dracula and see how much he puts into his roles. And how he gets to an emotional state in scenes. Simply amazing
Many of you mention his overlooked role in 'Leon:the Proffesional' which was one of his great performances, but another one most people forget about or haven't really seen is a 1990 movie called "State of Grace" with Sean Penn. Oldman gives a fantastic performance in that movie as well. he makes for a great 'bad guy'
I adore this man so darn much, he's such an inspiration to me. But the moment Sirius Black appeared on the screen with 'Enough talk Remus, c'mon lets kill him!' my heart skipped a beat! I love Sirius Black so much and if it wasn't for that role I wouldn't have known the genius of Gary Oldman so I'll always have a mega soft spot for Sirius.
After your sharing that very personal memory I have to tell you that I had directly opposite experience. If it wasn`t Gary Oldman I wouldnt have gone to the movie theatre for the Prisoner of Azkaban and I wouldnt have discovered a whole world of Harry Potter. Cause I lived so far away from England or english speaking counries that I missed all the hype about those books. But Gary Oldman on the other hand was always a big deal to me. God bless him
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING SIRIUS BLACK! THATS THE ONLY REASON WHY I CAME TO WATCH THIS VID! MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE ASKING WHERES LEON?!?! I LOVE SIRIUS SOOOOOOO MUCH
Gary Oldman is one of the best actors and is completely underrated. I couldn't tell you half the movie he's been in because he is so often unrecognizable.
This man is too good for the Oscar. A true natural. A supremely gifted actor who becomes his roles. And, he has that "just a workin' bloke" thing that makes his achievements all the more impressive.
I LOVE this man's work. I just have to disagree with him on SID AND NANCY. Yes, Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungeon were a mess, but Gary's performance as Sid is brilliant.
My opinion of the movie as a whole is mixed, but he was great in it. I totally understand his disinterest in looking back at work he did decades ago, though. To him he probably just sees a much less experienced and inferior version of himself now.
In my opinion, Gary Oldman is one of the all-time greats. This piece should have been much longer, and included a number of other roles in addition to the ones he touched on.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, is one of those slow burns. I think I loved that movie the most out of all the others, although I'm a sucker for slow burns, namely Solaris, and No Country for Oldmen. A film that moves along so slowly, almost like molasses. i cry inside every time i'm reminded that I never got to see Star Trek The Motion Picture in Theaters.
"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" is one of my favorite movies. I'm most impressed by Gary Oldman's George Smiley performance. I have read John le Carre's books, and Oldman is George Smiley.
Gary Oldman is definitely one of the best actors of our time, he can cover an endless array of different roles and be intense enough, but not too much, weird enough, but not too much, and always, absolutely always, believable.

The movie was very inaccurate as a story which ruined it, but he was INCREDIBLE as Beethoven, I loved him! No one could have portrayed the composer better.
@@klavdiya9821 Yeah it was innacurate because no one really can make a good biography from a life of a composer that born in 1770 so yeah but i agree the fact that his acting is beyond the cloud on the sky
Exactly my thought!! The scene where he describes the carriage being broken down... Oh man, that scene to this day is still the best visualization of the power of music
This is such a cool to see. I've actually been a fan of his since before I even saw him in a movie, lol. That's because I started bingeing movie review books when I was a preteen, and I noticed an actor named Gary Oldman who always got amazing reviews. In my late teens I finally got to start watching his films, starting with True Romance. And it was like a dream come true when he played my favorite Harry Potter character, Sirius Black.
Hands down, my favorite actor... Sad they didn't talk about STATE OF GRACE he killed it in that movie.... To kill a movie not using your accent is next level
This guy is an absolute legend of an actor, probably the best of his generation. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in Hollywood who doesn't really have a good word to say about Gary Oldman - he's the role model, the benchmark that most young actors who are starting out aspire to be. He's able just to disappear into whatever character he's supposed to be, I remember Jason Isaacs said he was a Chameleon because he could take on almost any role and never really look out of place. He's like the Freddie Mercury of motion pictures, with a brilliant sense of humour as well.
Was this the whole thing? I wanted to hear something about my favourite Gary Oldman role, "Jackie" in the movie State of Grace. Fucking amazing. In a cast that consisted of Ed Harris, Sean Penn, Robin Wright, John C Rielly and John Turturro, Gary stood out front and center. Yeah he does that in many films but this movie came out around the early 90's.
Cant believe they did not mention Jackie Flannery , from State of Grace... One of the best and most accurate Character performances of all time ... and what made me a HUGE FAN of Gary Oldman, when no one had hardly heard of him yet .. This man is one of the BEST Actors of our Time .. and since DDL retired, possibly THE Best Living Actor ..Each character so completely different .. I am such a Huge Fan I cant even put it in words ..
Oldman is one of those rare actors that's never full of himself and realizes movies are what they are for the most part, just a job. One that he happens to be very very good at but he knows at the end of the film he's still just Gary Oldman, playing someone else. One of the truly great character actors of his generation.

His ability to work just sink his soul into literally any role, no matter how dumb or how much he hates it, he is gives it his all and brings us absolutely legendary performances.
I couldn’t have said it better 👌🏼
I find it fascinating how so many great actors have completely different approaches to playing a character on the one hand you have someone like Daniel Day Lewis who never breaks character even when he’s not shooting and on the other you’ve got Gary Oldman whose just Gary playing a character but they’re both amazing.
Tony Scott: "Look he's a white guy who thinks he's black, and he's a pimp."
Gary Oldman: "I'll do it."
Fucking legend.
Gary Oldman as 'Drexl Spivey' is one of his top favorite characters! He accepted to part on hearing " "you play a white guy who thinks he's a black pimp. " I'll do it!" I keep replying that part over and over.
This story has been told many times and is still funny
He said the same thing an interview in the 90s for the movie too lol
His performance as Drexl in True Romance, although short, is one of the best performances by an actor.
I loved that too
And no Leon? Thats criminal.
my thoughts exactly. with some of his best lines
"I like these calm little moments before the storm..."
Steve Sharples Well it's official... Yahoo doesn't like Mozart.
Steve Sharples he was scary as Clarence Boddicker in Robocop imo
It's not that great
His performance is legendary in it, whatever you think of the film.
This dude only recieved 1 Oscar nomination for what wasn't even his best performance. That is proof that the Oscars are broken.
I think Smiley WAS hands down his best performance. He carried the whole movie by just being quietly menacing with the slightest eye movements and subtlest nuances in his voice. it was mind-blowing. Far more difficult than other crazy psycho villain / famous historical figure roles which are, at the end of the day, not that hard to pull off for an actor of his chameleon skills.
Well he’s now an Oscar winner!
The upshot is he finally won an Oscar, for his incredible performance as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.

@@LittleB2007 Possibly the best acting performance on film ever.
His performance in Leon The Professional was truly ICONIC!
I forget. What was his response in that movie when his deputy asked if he really wanted 'everyone' to come down to make the arrest?
It was great but his performance in State of Grace was better
This and "DRACULA" are good for Oscar.
Sorry 4 my english😉
I've watched it a few days ago and I didn't even realize it was him until I saw the credits. Weird to think about, since he didn't even wear any make-up or nothing.
@@DexterHaven EVERYYYYYYOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE !
This guy literally disappears into every role he plays.
When I went through his Filmography, I realized that there were several movies I've seen where he's in it, but I didn't even recognize him. That's how good he is.
His Scene in True Romance is unbelievable.
Drexl Spivey one of all time great movie characters
hes so good in everything. it makes me want to download every one of his films and watch them. even stupid a ss fifth element.
Drexel was the GREATEST BLACK PIMP in Cinema HISTORY..... NOT debatable....
I definitely wanted to hear more about Drexl. That was awesome acting.
The second time I saw True Romance I saw Gary Oldman in the credits and was like "huh, he played Drexl ... are you kidding me". I just didn't recognise him cause I just saw the role. That's how good of an actor he is.

Stimmt❤
Gary Oldman is one of my favorite all time actors. That guy can act anything
He's such a great actor that it's almost scary. It's crazy to witness his unbelievable range.
It is literally impossible to pick 1 favorite Gary Oldman role. He never dissapoints or fails to leave an impression.
Well, prick up your ears wasn't impressive...
For me, that would have to be Bram Stoker's Dracula and The Scarlet Letter
Me : Huh they missed Leon, did anybody else notice
Answer: EVERYONE
EVERYONE waited for that .
I was also waiting for his portrayal of Beethoven in "Immortal Beloved."
Criminal.
I've crossed oceans of time to thank you for this comment.
what do you mean 'everyone'?
I completely fell in love with Gary Oldman after watching Immortal Beloved. And yes - they missed his incredible performance in Leon too ..
Love Gary with the long hair, it just seems to emphasize his eyes
I truly believe actors like Gary do not realise just how great they really are.
When Tom Hardy says Gary is his fave actor, then you have to take notice. Brilliant actor.

Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors, humble, professional, and iconic.
Gary Oldman as Jackie Flannery in State Of Grace was my favorite.
Hands Down my favorite actor, this dude can do anything. State of Grace was an awesome underrated movie.
One of the greatest actors of all time, his diversity in his characters are unbelievable
State Of Grace. My favourite Gary Oldman performance and one of my favourite films of all time. It’s a classic.
He never disappointed me! So many of his roles that I would classify as great. In fact, it's kind of scary how many times he just nailed it.
State of Grace. Amazing performance by Gary Oldman. Love that film. Came out the same year as Goodfellas and got overshadowed but it's still a great film.
This guy's full potential hasn't been tapped in a long time.

Pete his best role ever was as an estate agent. A mr Clive Bisle........BEXI !!! BEXI!!!!
Gary himself said on 'The south bank show' years ago that his performance in State of Grace was in his opinion,his best.
That was epic, I loved Jackie ♥
Agreed. Him as Jackie was the first Id really seen of him as a kid. I always show State of Grace when I want people to see him at his best.
3:12 His reaction to hearing The Fifth Element is considered a cult classic always makes me laugh
I don't think he likes it. He laughed about when asked about the finished product
Loved him as Zorg in the Fifth Element, so classic
I adore this man so darn much, he's such an inspiration to me. But the moment Sirius Black appeared on the screen with 'Enough talk Remus, c'mon lets kill him!' my heart skipped a beat!

And his sense of humour!!! OMG he is lovely and such a talented actor - to what seems like a walk in the park to him.
I can't believe he doesn't like 5th Element. His role in that movie is * * * *ing amazing.
And the *5th Element* itself is one of the greatest SF movies of all times.
The fact he hated the movie was in fact perfect considering his character was working to destroy the universe. His contempt showed.
I know right! Zorg is probably one of my favorite villains.
This man is too good for the Oscar. A true natural. A supremely gifted actor who becomes his roles. And, he has that "just a workin' bloke" thing that makes his achievements all the more impressive.

Love him and love his work, for me 'Tinker Tailor' is the best.... Such an engrossing movie, love popping it in the DVD on a rainy day.....

The first time I saw Gary Oldman was 1990 in "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" with Tim Roth and they become two favorite actors.
«Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead» one of his finest, but no mention.
Hardly anyone even k ows the movie, even though it is timeless and in my eyes the best Hamlet interpretation by far.
"Sid and Nancy" is one the greatest films ever made, Oldman nailed it, one of thee best acted role ever...He became Sid.
The range of his acting abilities is unfucking believable.
ROMEO IS BLEEDING was the movie where I got captivated by Gary Oldman.
Thank you for the comments, love support you showered on me ,I hope you never stop.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone in Hollywood who doesn't really have a good word to say about Gary Oldman - he's the role model, the benchmark that most young actors who are starting out aspire to be.
He's able just to disappear into whatever character he's supposed to be, I remember Jason Isaacs said he was a Chameleon because he could take on almost any role and never really look out of place.
He's like the Freddie Mercury of motion pictures, with a brilliant sense of humour as well.
Was this the whole thing? I wanted to hear something about my favourite Gary Oldman role, "Jackie" in the movie State of Grace. Fucking amazing. In a cast that consisted of Ed Harris, Sean Penn, Robin Wright, John C Rielly and John Turturro, Gary stood out front and center. Yeah he does that in many films but this movie came out around the early 90's.
Cant believe they did not mention Jackie Flannery , from State of Grace... One of the best and most accurate Character performances of all time ... and what made me a HUGE FAN of Gary Oldman, when no one had hardly heard of him yet .. This man is one of the BEST Actors of our Time .. and since DDL retired, possibly THE Best Living Actor ..Each character so completely different .. I am such a Huge Fan I cant even put it in words ..
Gary Oldman, Zorg hands down was your greatest character you ever played. Embrace the madness that is Zorg.
I agree. I still can't believe he didn't like the movie.
Every journey begins with a single step
This is step one!!
STATE of GRACE was awesome

My favorite movie of all time because of Gary Oldman
