Gary Oldman on his favorite roles 

Gary Oldman is one of the best actors in the history of cinema, beyond question.

One of the best actor ever! so underrated...

EVERYTHING he does is Gold. Underrated and Genius.

We all know our favorite two roles of Gary Oldman were Drexl in "True Romance" and Stansfield in "The Professional".

He was the best as Drexl!

Romeo is Bleeding is an underrated gem of a film. The acting in that film was spectacular, particularly by Oldman.

he look so calm this age..he was just a beast when he was young..for me he is one of the 90's icons

Surely it should be Sir Gary Oldman by now. Hands down the greatest actor of all time, I can't even recognize him in most of his films. Nobody's Baby is next on my Gary Oldman watch list

True Romance was something else. His transformation to Drexl is insane.

My twenty seven year old stepson who loves Tarantino movies was absolutely stunned to learn that Oldman played Drexel in True Romance. He is indeed one of the best ever

Wouldnt it be hilarious if he just shouted "EVERYONE"!! :D

I must simply say, he has NEVER disappointed.

He’s done so many diverse roles in his movies...love him as Dracula. He was also excellent in the movie The Contender; Fifth Element; The Dark Knight movies; as Sirius Black, too.

My favorite actor in the world. GARY OLDMAN! Why because he's awesome no matter what role he plays :)

One of the most criminally overlooked actors ever to grace the big screen! Gary Oldman is right up there with the all time greats in terms of ability and dedication, watch the behind the scenes of Dracula to give you a little insight into his work ethic he actually hired a singing coach so he could learn to drop his voice a whole octave to give Dracula that deep haunting voice and carried a photo album with him on set with pictures of his son in it to inspire the emotion he gave to the really deep and powerful scenes. Then we have Drexl and Stansfield to name a few, if you had never seen him play Drexl and someone came to you with the character then told you who they were planning to cast for him you'd probably laugh your arse off! then you watch him and just think ......WOW

EVERYONE!!!!

tumbs up for true romance

He is great in everything and is a chameleon but I have to say, His performance in Bram Stokers Dracula was nothing short of phenomenal! I have watched this many times and every scene was just amazing!

Can't believe this guy is "Drexl" from True Romance. What an actor.

I played Lee Harvey Oswald in a theatre production about his interrogation and it was easily my favorite role of all time and part of that was the intrigue of studying the character of who he was and then trying your best to channel that while trying to model your mannerisms and speech on what little video and audio footage you could find, so I definitely understand where Oldman is coming from.

IMO The most versatile actor working today. Genius.

State of Grace is a movie which I absolutely love, yet I don't see many people talk about it. I guess it's not that well known, but Gary Oldman is on fire in that one (like most of his roles).

The Firm and Dracula are my 2 favorite Gary Oldman films.

Gary Oldman is such a good actor that I wouldn't know if he was acting in this whole video.

Oswald was the role with which he caught me forever. Since then I am his fan.

I loved him as Sirius black in harry potter

When I first saw JFK, Gary Oldman wasn't well known, and there wasn't internet, so although Oswald's face was known, you couldn't actually see it that often unless you had books, which I didn't. Well, I thought Oswald's parts were all stock footage from the period! Even today I think his performance is absolutely spot on. What a great actor he is.

you guys need to chill out. Gary Oldman's a fantastic actor. Everyone stutters a bit when they talk- especially British actors (with the exception of Daniel Radcliffe, my lord that boy can talk fast!). Whether he stutters or not, that doesn't change his ability to act well. I don't know about anyone else, but frankly, I'm disgusted with how rude and childish some of the comments below are. Calm down, guys. Geez, it's just an interview....

Jackie in State of Grace. Fantastic!! Thanks Gary

You need to watch the original 'The Firm' for one of Garys best performances.

STATE OF GRACE, this film is one of greatest mob fims ever released and Oldman (and the rest of the stellar cast to be fair) absolutely nail it, if you have not seen it, do yourself a favour this weekend!!!!

for me it's Dracula

For my this guy is easily best actor currently working on hollywood

True Romance is such a great movie. I hope to see it again someday.

I love GARY OLDMAN so much.🥰🥰

and he was good as James Gordon in the dark knight trilogy

Oswald, Beethoven, Drexl, and he was perfect as Sid Vicious.

Immortal Beloved. Should of won an SAG award for his portrayal of Ludwig Beethoven.

Gary 0ldman is a Absolute Genious . Who cannot be surpassed. Ever .. Gary can turn any, film into a masterpiece .. He is the best ..

some good choices there from Gary, my personal favourite is Leon.

Best Dracula.

Having working for many famous people as an Artist, I have to say Gary Oldman is on my top 10 list. He has the savvy! He can grab hold of the character( s) for any and every part and make you believe in that character. Not all Actors can do this. I love him ! ~jvw~

He's Gary Oldman. He can speak the way he wants, smile... People are going to watch him anyway because he can act...

I think his role as Stansfield in "The Professional" is something out of the world. I loved that role 😍😍 EVERYONE.....

Mr. Oldman is my favorite actor...his characters always hit it out of the park.

truly the best actor I have ever had the pleasure to watch in a movie...under rated unfortunately by American Film Association. ...they wouldn't know real talent if it slapped them square in the face....Gary Oldman is King of the screen. No American actor even comes close...and I'm American.

Romeo is Bleeding is absolutely awesome. Gary is tremendous in that role.

He didn't mention Jackie in State Of Grace. In an older interview, he ranked it as one of his favorite roles and said that there was nothing wrong with Jackie that a hug couldn't fix. I think of that every time I watch the film. I love that character. His performance in Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead is also one of my favorites. He and Tim Roth had such chemistry in it that Tarantino had talked about making a movie starring them. I'd love to see them do more together.

I dig hearing him talk

In The Professional he was so great

Why are some people saying he's underrated? He's quite well known for being one of the greatest actors around. He's not some unknown who's had some good roles. He's got the kind of reputation and acknowledgment he throughly deserves.

He was so good at playing Oswald I thought they just put actual footage of Oswald.

amazing actor you are i love all your work

He was amazing in this movie !!!

Jackie Flannery in State of Grace is his most underrated role, that and his role of Bex in the Firm

I was aware of Gary Oldman and saw True Romance twice before I realized he was in it. He was similar playing Sid Vicious. He's the only actor I can think of (Di Niro maybe?) that truly becomes the character he plays.

Just too good to be true !!! He is always awesome in any acting roles !!! Brilliant ! Love forever Mr. Gary Oldman !!! You are and always be my NUMBER ONE actor of all times !!!! xoxoxo

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy hands down. Should have won an Oscar for the role. Outdoing the great Alec Guinness reprising the role of George Smiley . I was gobsmacked

he is my all time fave actor..true pure talent...

One of the best actors ever!!!!!!!

Gary is a phenomenal actor and is underrated.

Look at this guy, then watch the Drexl scene from True Romance. Come back and tell me Gary Goldman isn't a genius. I expect no replies.

God Heavens!! I really love this masterpiece called "Leonard Gary Oldman"!

As a kid, I would watch the beginning of Dracula, and not even realize it was a movie. Oldman was sick as Vlad the Impaler

Him and Mark Strong are my two personal favourites of all time

Nobody ever really mentions it, but I loved his role as Ben Chase from Criminal Law. That was such a good movie.

JFK is one of my all time favorite movies, and Gary was tremendous as Oswald.

Oldman downloaded Oswalds ghost... it was supernatural , so smart, to act a sketch of a slip of a man

Gary Oldman is the ultimate chameleon. I agree with the part of Drexel. And compare that to his role in The Fifth Element as “Zorg” And it’s seriously MIND BLOWING, the amount of talent this man posses! Very talented actor. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Brilliant film. Brilliant performances. Loved this film so much, so I am mystified why they are not doing the sequel, Smiley’s People???

Love Gary! He plays the best villain. He brings a realism and authenticity to his characters, no matter what the role really, an intense dedication to the craft that keeps me engaged and enthralled. My favs growing up: Sid and Nancy, Dracula, The Professional, True Romance, the Fifth Element, Hannibal, the Book of Eli, and last but not least, Lost in Space. ❤😎💀

Films have gotten actors to play Oswald and you never think it comes close until Oldman's version. Spot on.

well said... I have even said, I would love to work with this guy, Gary Oldman is an amazing actor, whether it was Dracula, Air Force One, Harry Potter, doesn't matter what movie, when he's in it, he brings everything he has to the role... so he stutters when answering a question... who cares?

You folks should also check out his amazing performances as Joe Orton in Prick Up Your Ears and Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy (aka Love Kills). They were the first two I saw him in and made me an instant fan.

One of my favourite rolls he played was a very small one in an episode of friends where he is an actor that's working with joey its so funny!

"Immortal Beloved", such a great Gary ! as usual of course

Definitely one of my favourite actors, an actor's actor too...he and Danial Day Lewis are really something else. There are some incredible actors...we are very lucky....

Fifth element he was the character. My favourite by far.

my favourite roles of his are Sirius Black and Norman Stansfield, and Dracula is up there too.

Very talented man . He metamorphisizes into these characters like few actors can . They should have put some padding on him for THE CONTENDER . Make him look like a real congressman-thick and rich.

Gary has NEVER been mediocre! I honestly think he's the single greatest living actor on the planet. Best performance in a sea of exceptional performances? Jackie Flannery in State Of Grace. I'm not even sure he was acting!

Scrolled through dozens of comments. Not a single mention of his Mason Verger role is perplexing.

Gary Oldman can play anything and make it work. The Producers would be like: Hey Gary are you able to play a 6ft Humanoid Shark with a Mexican accent who stops WW2 Gary Oldman: Yes. *wins Oscar*

Drexl really showed us his range

For me personally, his best role was Mason Verger in Hannibal. “CORDELL!!”

A dream of mine is to just to shake his hand and say Thanks for everything. That´s it, that´s all.

I absolutely loved him as jackie in state of grace...that was a stand out performance.

My favorite performance of Gary’s would have to be “state of grace” as “Jackie Flannery” amazing...

Loved him as Winston Churchill in The Darkest Hour as well

Is he wearing the same sort of "friendship bracelet" on his left wrist in real life as Drexl in True Romance?!

Kudos to gary for answering professionally. That was a stupid question to ask at that time. i

He also played voices in Call of duty world at war. The mans got skills no doubt!

A wonderful actor indeed.

Sexiest man alive, and insanely talented! Checkout young Gary in Track 29...obscure and super intruiging. From Sid Vicious to Sirius Black, I mean, come on!! Wonderful.

why doesnt anyone speak of romeos bleeding...i think hes unreal in that.

The Firm

Who loves Gary Oldman? EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Leon, sublime....

Drexl is my fav!!! He is amazing...

no Dracula? c'mon, he was the best vampire of all times
