Gary Oldman
I feel that Gary Oldman is one of the BEST actors we have today...and is it only me or do you feel that he his underated? he doesn't get paid much for one, and he gets all the sideline roles...he looks like a damn good leading guy, whatcha think?
Gary Oldman's one of my favourite actors and yes I think he probably is very underrated. He's played some cracking parts over the years. I was laughing at him in The Fifth Element last week. When they did the docudrama about the creation of Doctor Who I would really have liked him to play William Hartnell (I thought that as far back as Lost in Space actually), but it wasn't to be.

These are the roles he should have got an Oscar for. I'd have said Dracula personally.
I agree , but i personally fancy him as the bad buy in leon , he was down right sinister and threatening a perfect role

Oh yeah he was excellent but with Dracula there was so much more to the character beyond that aspect alone. And Smiley is like a masterclass in character acting.
Yup he was superb indeed

I particularly liked listening to his thoughts about how he approached Smiley. The thing about the character "assuming the temperature of the room he was in" and also the allusion to his being like the spider at the centre of a web. So there's that knock on the door and he just inclines his head to one side softly, like "I'll get it later".
Like the way u noticed this , yes i totally agree, its the character he portrays he does it uniquely

I’m particularly fond of how that certain something in Gary’s eyes comes into play for Smiley. There’s always been some hint of malice he can never shake off (which hurt his performance as Jim Gordon, imo), but it’s totally apt there. Beneath the thick glasses you can see someone ruthless and it suddenly makes sense why he, more than the other elders of The Circus, who have earned Control’s trust. The only outward show of that confidence is probably the bit where he’s grilling Esterhase and the plane gets closer and closer and closer and he never once turns to look.
I also liked the detail of setting his glasses right next to himself in bed. He sleeps completely still!
