Gary Oldman is without a doubt one of the best actors of modern times. He has played lots of different parts in a variety of movies all of them in one way or another quite special. From real funny parts (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) to the serious and sad part of Ludwig Von Beethoven (Immortal Beloved) and from realism as Lee Harvey Oswald (JFK) to fictional horror as Dracula (Bram Stoker's Dracula). More recently Gary Oldman made his directorial debut with Nil by Mouth, a movie he also wrote.
This all shows the versatility in the characters and the work of Gary Oldman, often referred to as the chameleon.
