No question, a great actor. I love his performances. My most favorite of his is from Air Force One no matter how many times I watch that film (awesome flick btw.) Gary always does it for me, I never find him bored. Very good performance as a terrorist.

I'd love to see him do more movies! he makes a good villain, I want more !

YAY

100% YAY - An excellent, excellent actor, and being the self-confessed Harry Potter freak that I am, I'm over the moon with his casting for PoA :)

with films like Leon, True Romance, Air Force One, Dracula and especially the upcoming Harry Potter and Prizoner of Azkaban it's difinetly YAY.

He was the best thing about the "Demi Moore" version of The Scarlet Letter, too!

Jumps in the boat also! :D Very YaY! And looking soooooo foward to him in Azkaban!

Favorite line in The Professional:
Norman Stansfield: Bring me everyone.
Benny: What do you mean "everyone"?
Norman Stansfield: EVERYONE!

It is utterly amazing how he is able to change the way he looks from movie to movie. Compare his look from Bram Stoker's Dracula to The Fifth Element. Compare his look from The Contender to Air Force One. And then there is Hannibal as well. Just an AMAZING and BRILLIANT actor! A HUGE YAY!

YAY!


Love his style of acting. I'd love to see him in more roles like Air Force One, he did a tremendous job on that!

This guy is a great actor. He's one of the best bad guys around. I read some where that he uses a different accent in every single movie he's done.

Yay. Great actor, and one of the most versatile out there today.

OK, this man is truly an ACTOR. He is birlliant. He can be convincing with any accent, any character and any performance.

I just think about how DIFFERENT he is in each movie.
Sid & Nancy
The Professional
The Fifth Element
Immortal Beloved
True Romance
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

those are just off the top of my head, but he's so different in each one. I love it!

Big Yay! One of my favorite actors, and he absolutely rocked as Dracula. Oldman is not only a great actor he is a frickin chameleon also, he actually looks like a completely different person in almost every one of his roles.

A MASSIVE YAY.

Incredibly talented, diverse and entertaining. Amazing work in Sid and Nancy, True Romance, JFK, Dracula, Immortal Beloved, Meantime, State of Grace, The Professional, The Contender... the list just goes on and on.

He's awesome.

Big yay.

He can sink into any role and act the hell out of it. He was so convincing in True Romance as Drexl Spivey, I really thought that was his nationality! That was the first film I saw him in, and he's continued to impress me with his tremendous range and chameleon-like ability.

YAY without a doubt. Whether he's playing a russian terrorist, or a white jamaican pimp, the man is the ultimate in villaineous performances. Loved him in every movie I've seen.

Very true, I was amazed how a British actor could slip into that kind of character, amazing. He's awesome.

I saw JFK on Saturday the 30th...oh man, what a film! 10/10

So I'm bumping this, I think he did a great job as Lee Harvey Oswald, I love this guy more and more within every film I see in which he stars. One great actor.

Yay.

Arguably the greatest actor of the past two decades.


For you Gary, it IS white boy day.

Gary Oldman kicks ass! Loved him as Dracula. Loved him as a villain in AIR FORCE ONE. Hell, I even loved him as Dr. Smith in LOST IN SPACE! Arguably one of the better character actors of our time.

I just watched Bram Stoker's Dracula...



WOW...What a performance. :D



It was weird watching the two opposites (Oldman and Reeves)..one is a masterful actor and the other, well the other needs to go back to playing bass. :cool:

Has this guy gotten a Nay yet? Holy balls, I don't think he has.

Such a gigantic YAY I don't know what to do with myself.

JFK, Air Force One, Léon, Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead, True Romance, Sid and Nancy, The Contender, Immortal Beloved...

the man has a nearly perfect track record for great performances (we forgive for Lost in Space), and manages (even when he's supposed to be coked up, tripping, on happy pills, a murderer, an idiot, a pimp, an insane musician or just plain nasty) to be one of the most appealing characters in any flick.

Sometimes gets too hammy in his roles, but still, a great character actor, who's delivered atleast a couple of stand-out performances (and many good ones) in his career.

So with reservations, i'll give him yay.

One thing puzzles me, why wasn't Gary nominated for an Oscar for his performances?

Who needs to be shot? :D

Yay. He was perfect in BRAM STOCKER'S DRACULA. I'm looking forward to him as Sirius in HARRY POTTER 3.
