Something wrong?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.

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.
