Ironically, the reason why Gary doesn’t get more accolades is because people legitimately don’t even know it’s the same guy in all these movies, he’s just that good

I’m convinced that Gary Oldman is not an actor he’s a medium channeling real people.

I love Gary Oldman because he really keeps under the radar, he doesn’t hog the spotlight, he’s a professional who’s determined and dedicated and so every time I see a movie of him I know I’ll just get an absolute delight, he’s so captivating, and more importantly so consistent. He can do method acting and impersonate real figures like the best and he can create entirely unique fictional baddies or good guys (the former are always memorable as hell). I mean ffs when I heard he was playing Truman I thought it was fantastic, and for all of three lines he completely nailed exactly what I was expecting from the stories I heard of Truman and Oppenheimer’s interaction from documentaries

He always looks unrecognizable

Finally realizing what a transcendent actor Gary Oldman is. I've appreciated his various roles for over two decades, but I wasn't able to associate the roles with the actor until now. I attribute this to the fact that the guy's acting ability is so diverse & elastic; all of his roles are completely different. Are you telling me the villain from 5th Element and Commissioner Gordon are the same guy? The second reason I've had difficulty spotting Oldman in the past is because he looks so damn generic and forgettable. You would never notice the guy in a crowd, which is a total asset if you're a professional chameleon. Anyway, I feel embarrassed I've never given this guy the credit he deserves. What an insanely talented actor.

This was rather how I came to be a Gary Oldman fan myself, everyone keeps calling him a chameleon but I'm convinced he's a changeling, doppler, shapeshifter, whatever. It was looking up these incredible characters and seeing his name over and over again; then I started looking for it.

It's pretty amazing - I can't even recognize his voice with some of the characters he potrays. Gary Oldman is kind of a Daniel Day-Lewis but more of a risk taker isn't he?

1:57 - OMG I had to rewind this clip just to check if the dude was actually Oldman. What a shapeshifter.

What an incredibly talented actor. It speaks to the shallowness of Hollywood that this man isn't treasured more.

It's a god damned shame that he has only one Oscar to his name. He's one of the few actors who you KNOW, but still melts into each of his roles. It's never Gary Oldman playing Gary Oldman. He's so good I have absolutely NO IDEA what he's like IRL based on his performances. DDL is another one of those. These kinds of actors deserve the Untouchable award.

Fascinating. I love when he played villians, one of the best in history of cinema like Norman Stansfield and Dracula, and less known but amazing role of Drexl Spivey.

There's just something about an actor who can emote just with their eyes. It conveys so much more than words alone. 👌🏾

Watching this, it's actually hard to believe this is all the same guy. Oldman's ability to completely transform into the characters he portrays is astonishing. I think he's the greatest actor working today.

I remember first seeing him way back in 86 when Sid and Nancy came out. Absolutely mesmerized by his performance. I was a Sex Pistols fan at the time and couldn't believe how well he channeled Sid. Been enjoying his performances ever since, especially those crazy characters he did in the 90s!

from Sid Vicious to Winston Churchill - hard to imagine an actor that could embody that range.

A masterclass actor that simply has no (or few) parallels. I love every movie he's been in. Every. Single. One.

dare I say this, I think he might be MORE versatile than Daniel Day-Lewis, despite the constance of that name being drawn up when anyone considers versatile actors. He is phenomenal of course, don't get me wrong! One of my other favourites indeed. But seeing these films, and some of the minor ones I'd never heard of, I have never quite seen an actor so poised in confidence and consistency as Gary Oldman.

Gary Oldman is SO talented he literally disappears in EVERY performance because he’s THAT GOOD! G.O.A.T.

I cant count how many times ive watched a movie for the first time, not knowing the cast, and never realized it was Oldman until half way through. Like damn, Gary got me again!

He does one thing in every performance: he lets the moment carry him, rather than pushing the scenes hard. He’s discovering the moment with us, and his truthful work is perfect for villains, heroes, fools, and victims. This video is beautifully edited, by the way. Great work, Chameleon Cast!

I think most great actors usually have 2-3 standout performances where they're unrecognizable and completely transcendent but Oldman almost does it every time. I can't say his movies are necessarily the best but even DDL is more repetitive in his speech patterns than Oldman is. I can't think of a more versatile actor than Gary Oldman.

Man of a thousand faces. There have been times when I didn’t even recognize him, he’s so good. 🥰

He deserved a Oscar's nominee every year since 1986.

Gary Oldman has been my favorite actor since the second film I saw him in, many years ago, (when I almost didn't recognize him and realized just how good he is). I was thrilled that he finally won an Oscar. He deserved to win a long time ago, but he's so damned good that people don't recognize him from one role to the next. (The character actor's curse) His body of work is just staggering. Thanks for this.

One of if not THE most underrated actor of all time

Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman may in fact be the best living actors at this present moment. Gary has provided us with so many memorable characters, it's almost like a "pilgrimage" whenever you go back to old movies he was in to appreciate them. For me, as a slightly younger person - my 'Mecca' of Gary is Agent Stansfield from "The Professional". I can't imagine what my movie-going life would be like today without seeing him in that role. What a fantastic actor.

That he can go from the dark knight to true romance is crazy

You missed Gary Oldman in The Scarlet Letter, with Demi Moore. It's one of my fav.s. Great collection though. Several I have yet to see. Love you Gary!

Most actors have a certain "shtick" or "programme", their personal range of different speech patterns and body language patterns, they chose from and if they play a different character in a new movie, who is similiar to one they played in an earlier movie, they will play them in a similiar way. There are even some great actors who do that, f.e. if Leonardo Dicaprio (whom I admire a lot for his intensity and who does have a rather wide range himself) goes "ape shit" in a movie, he will look very similiar to him going "ape shit" in other movies. He does it well, always very convincing, but always in a similiar manner if his characters are similiarly constructed. And then there are actors like Gary Oldman, who, even when he plays a similiar character to one in his earlier works, he will always come up with an entire new character every time, a new idiolect, a new speech pattern, a new body language, new mimics. Sometimes I didn't even recognize him at first, when I went to a movie with him in it without knowing the cast, even though he's one of my favourite actors. He always surprises and impresses me in everything I see him in.

HE'S IN MY TOP 5 ACTORS!!!

It's Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman Best actors of all time . Both can speak so many accents flawlessly and perfectly. Great method actors. It's never a dull moment with G man
