Gary Oldman

Versatile is perhaps the perfect word to describe Gary Oldman. He has been known for his method of acting, which garnered praise from pretty much everybody. While he has played a diverse array of characters, that was not the case in his early career. During this time, his acting credits were often of anti-social characters. While typecasting can break an actor’s career, this instead became a boon for Oldman. He started to hone his acting skills in his early years, which became his most significant asset later.

Today, Oldman is a sought-after actor due to his ease of molding into any character and acting passionately in said roles. He has portrayed countless characters over the years, from Gordon Brown to Winston Churchill. Thanks to these, he has won numerous awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and three BAFTA Awards. In addition, his films have grossed over $11 billion, making him a very bankable star.
