# Gary Oldman

> He's the actor other actors study - the one who's been Sid Vicious, Dracula, Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirius Black, and Winston Churchill without ever quite looking like himself. Oldman doesn't inhabit roles; he erases the seams.

## Bio

Oldman started in London theatre in 1979, cutting his teeth with the Royal Shakespeare Company before his film debut in Remembrance (1982). He broke through playing punks and playwrights - Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy (1986), Joe Orton in Prick Up Your Ears (1987) - then crossed into American films as a gangster in State of Grace (1990) and Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK (1991). The 1990s made him a go-to for villains: Dracula, a crooked DEA agent in Léon, a hijacker in Air Force One. He spent the 2000s in franchise work - Sirius Black across the Harry Potter films, Commissioner Gordon in the Dark Knight trilogy - before winning the Academy Award for Best Actor as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour (2017). He wrote and directed Nil by Mouth in 1997, earned Emmy nominations for a drunk guest spot on Friends and, since 2022, for playing the slovenly spymaster Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses. King Charles knighted him in 2025.
