I insist that Gary returns to the role of Smiley Immediately
One of my generation’s greatest actors.. how he does it is fascinating to me..
Probably the most modest actor I have ever seen being interviewed. Thanks for this. Great interview.
As a serious amature actor myself......This man is one of the finest actors of our time.. tremendous character and ironically got turned away from RADA....
Gary Oldman,, my hero. Still being himself even trough all the madness. And Tbh .. he's a good lad & great actor. He prooved this so many times. Gary is one of those rare actors ,that touched our hearts. Thank you for sharing this and please let Gary know , he's being loved. Big hugs , Patrick
Gary Oldman one of the best! He's just great!
A brilliant actor I've been watching all my life. He is one of the best in modern history, and he, thankfully, is more of a person who likes pretending than he is a celebrity superstar.
What an icon! 'Nil by Mouth' is the best British film ever made in my opinion. Amazing performances and filmmaking. Been a fan of it since the VHS days. Thank you to the BFI for this and the restoration.
That scene of him auditioning badly from Peter Pan is priceless. I always love seeing great actors act terribly on purpose, when their character is TRYING to act, then they have to immediately act well as the character himself. Seems so tricky, so when they pull it off brilliantly you know this actor is the real deal.
Gary Oldman is something rare. Amongst this shower of shit celebrities he is just a stand out. Brilliant actor. And from what I see, a brilliant guy
Regarding Gary's first few minutes of this interview..some of us get that click moment of what one is meant to be in life, later than others..I was 28 when I knew I should be a tanker driver..He was lucky to have a realization so early..but no luck in his success I believe..just a hard working very talented and passionate professional of his art..I like all his work. Regardless of the quality of the movie, his performances always shine..
Legend. As good as we’ve ever produced in the UK
Master of his craft. One of the best actors of evil in history of film, his character in Leon...
What a consummate actor. Tinker, Tailor... was a great performance however I discovered him in Sid and Nancy.
Gary you legend, great actor.
A very talented actor.
I'm impressed that he stopped chasing supermodels and started dating appropriately. He must have undergone therapy to actually connect with himself. A mark of self respect. He looks like he could knock two lumps out of a passerby though.
Nil by mouth on blu ray finally
Excellent BRITISH actor
Thank you for this! loved every second.
Did anyone else catch the Smiley shout out in Slow Horses?
I didn’t expect this transatlantic accent
Like the old school long haired Gary
I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you.
Wonderful, thanks for this.
Dracula movie is my favorite. I also like True Blood.
great interview and chat.
Gary Oldman.
Brilliant !
I liked him in The Professional
More! 👏😃
Awesome hair dude.
20:05 - Jim from Coronation Street!!!
Gary bought Beethoven & Churchill to life for me. No idea how he captures the characters he plays but I appreciate whatever Magic he does.
So Gary, couldn't get any interest in dysfunctional realtionships. Swept under the carpet with everything else
Interesting interview, but the guy doing the interview is a bit of a film snob. I enjoy all aspects of cinema from exploitation to art house, all are valid in the World of movies.
By the way may e fix the title, there should read "conversation" i assume.
Love gaz
thumbs up from me...
Evening commissioner
no one has seen the firm
Someone who hasn't worn very well
Very boring, predictable questions, at least for the first 15 or 20 minutes. We know most or all of this already. I write as one who first saw Oldman at the Royal Court in 1985. It's a shame, because I'm sure Oldman has a lot to say if asked some interesting questions. Perhaps it gets better, but I'm out.
Proof that actors without words written for them are so inarticulate in real life....
What dullness!
