Gary Leonard Oldman (born 21 March 1958) is an English actor and filmmaker who has resided in the United States since the early 1990s, well known for his portrayals of dark and morally corrupt characters. He found fame in roles such as Sid Vicious in Sid & Nancy and Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK, which led to his most successful, and arguably best known, leading role as Count Dracula in 1992 blockbuster Dracula. In addition to Dracula, Oldman is well-known to audiences as the villain of such films as State of Grace, True Romance, Léon, Air Force One, The Fifth Element and The Contender.2 He is also known for his portrayals of real-life figures: as well as Vicious and Oswald, he portrayed Joe Orton in Prick Up Your Ears and Ludwig Van Beethoven in Immortal Beloved. In recent years he is recognisable as heroic characters such as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter film series and James Gordon in Christopher Nolan's reboot of the Batman film series.

Acclaimed for his on-screen diversity,34 Oldman has been referred to as an "actor's actor"56 and has been cited as an influence by a number of younger actors.789101112131415 Referred to by The Guardian as "arguably the best actor never Oscar-nominated,"16 Oldman has been nominated for, among other awards: a Primetime Emmy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, three BAFTA Awards (winning two), three Saturn Awards (winning one) and the 1997 Palme d'Or.17 In addition to leading and central supporting roles in big-budget Hollywood films, Oldman has frequently acted in independent films. He also directed, produced, and wrote the award-winning Nil by Mouth, a film partially based on his own childhood.18

Contents

Early life

Oldman was born in London, England, the son of Kathleen Cheriton (28 Nov 1919 - ), an Irish-born housewife, and Leonard Bertram Oldman (21 May 1921 - Oct 1985), a former sailor who worked as a welder.619 Oldman has said that his father was an abusive alcoholic who left his family when Oldman was seven.20 Oldman was an accomplished singer and pianist as a child, but gave up music to pursue an acting career.21 His inspiration was Malcolm McDowell's performance in 1970 movie The Raging Moon.2223 In a 1995 interview with Charlie Rose, Oldman said: "Something about Malcolm [McDowell] just arrested me, and I connected, and I said 'I wanna do that'."24 Oldman retained his love for music, however, and can be seen singing and playing piano in the 1988 movie Track 29, and tracing over pre-recorded versions of Beethoven's music in Immortal Beloved. Oldman attended the South East London Boys' School on Creek Road (A200) in Deptford, leaving school at 16.

Career

Sid & Nancy and foray into American cinema

Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious in Sid & Nancy.

After graduating from Rose Bruford College in Sidcup, Kent in 1979, Oldman spent almost eight years in theatre. During this time he appeared in several minor roles in films such as Remembrance (1982) and Morgan's Boy (1984). In 1986 he won his first starring role as the Sex Pistols' ill-fated bassist Sid Vicious in the 1986 motion picture Sid & Nancy. The role launched Oldman's career and paved the way for work in Hollywood. Oldman's performance was highly regarded by many, perhaps most notably ex-Sex Pistols vocalist John Lydon, who despite questioning the authenticity of some parts of the film, said of Oldman in his biography: "The chap who played Sid, Gary Oldman, I thought was quite good", and later called him a "bloody good actor".25 Oldman reportedly lost considerable weight for the role and was briefly hospitalised.26 After coming to prominence for his portrayal of Sid Vicious (which was later ranked #62 in Premiere magazine's "100 Greatest Performances of All Time"),27 Oldman increased his profile during the mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s via starring roles in cult films such as Prick Up Your Ears (in which he played his second real-life portrayal: troubled playwright Joe Orton), Criminal Law (which marked Oldman's first use of an American accent), The Firm, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead and State of Grace, with Janet Maslin referring to his work as "phenomenal" and Roger Ebert calling him "the best young British actor around."2829 In late 1988, he starred opposite long-time hero24 Alan Bates in We Think the World of You, and alongside Dennis Hopper and Frances McDormand in Chattahoochee (1989). Oldman moved to the United States in the early 1990s, where he has since lived.30

Mainstream success in the 1990s

In 1991, Oldman starred in what was at that point the most significant role of his career as Lee Harvey Oswald in Oliver Stone's JFK. The following year, he starred as Count Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's romance-horror blockbuster Dracula. A commercially successful film adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel,31 it was a major box office success worldwide, and spawned various merchandise and video games.3233 Oldman's performance is regarded by many as a staple of the horror genre, and was recognised by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films as the best male performance of 1992, who awarded Oldman the prestigious Best Actor award.34 The film established Oldman as a popular portrayer of villains in American cinema;2 he later played a violent pimp in True Romance (1993), a corrupt DEA officer in Léon (1994), a sadistic prison warden in Murder in the First (1995) and a futuristic corporate tyrant in The Fifth Element (1997). Oldman also displayed a skill for world accents; along with the Transylvanian Count Dracula, Oldman played German-born Viennese composer Ludwig van Beethoven in Immortal Beloved, and Russian terrorist Ivan Korshunov in the 1997 blockbuster Air Force One. He also appeared as the Devil in the 1993 promo video to the Guns N' Roses single "Since I Don't Have You".35

2000 and beyond

Oldman appeared opposite Jeff Bridges as zealous Republican congressman Sheldon Runyon in The Contender (2000), in which he was also credited as a producer. He received a Screen Actors Guild award nomination for his performance. In 2001, he starred opposite Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal, as Mason Verger, the only surviving victim of Hannibal Lecter. Oldman reportedly spent six hours per day in the make-up room to achieve the hideously disfigured appearance of the character.36 It marked the second time Oldman had appeared opposite Hopkins, a personal friend who was part of the supporting cast of Dracula. Oldman received an Emmy Award nomination for two guest appearances in Friends in 2001, appearing in the two-part episode "The One with Monica and Chandler's Wedding" as Richard Crosby, a pedantic actor who insists that "real" actors spit on one another when they enunciate, leading to the famous spitting scene between Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) and himself. Oldman agreed to appear in the series after meeting LeBlanc on the set of Lost in Space in 1998.

Oldman later landed a major role in the Harry Potter film series, playing Harry Potter's godfather Sirius Black. Oldman and star Daniel Radcliffe reportedly became very close during the filming of the series.37 In 2005, Oldman starred as James Gordon in Christopher Nolan's commercially and critically acclaimed Batman Begins, a role he reprised in the even more successful sequel The Dark Knight (2008). Oldman co-stars with Jim Carrey in the 2009 version of A Christmas Carol in which Oldman plays three roles.383940 He had a starring role in David Goyer's supernatural thriller The Unborn, released in 2009.4142 Oldman's second film project of 2009 will be to co-star with Denzel Washington in The Book of Eli.43

He has also participated in the creation of The Legend of Spyro games produced by Sierra Entertainment, playing as the voice to the Fire Guardian, Ignitus.

Filmmaking

In 1997, Oldman directed, produced, and wrote the award-winning Nil by Mouth, a movie partially based on his own childhood.18 Nil By Mouth went on to win the BAFTA Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film (shared with Douglas Urbanski) and also the BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay, the Channel 4 Director's Award, and an Empire Award,which? and was declared by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts as one of the one hundred best films of all time. Recently,when? Nil By Mouth was listed by Time Out as number two of the top 50 best British films ever.

Oldman and producing partner Douglas Urbanski formed the SE8 GROUP to produce Nil By Mouth. The company also produced The Contender, which also starred Oldman. He was also credited as a producer. Oldman has finished his latest screenplay, Chang & Eng, co-written with Darin Strauss, based on the author's book of the same name; SE8 Group will produce. In September 2006, Nokia Nseries Studio44 released the Oldman-directed short film Donut, with music by Tor Hyams. The film was shot with an N93 in order to promote the phone. Oldman also directed the music video for "Red Rover", a song from Jewish rap group Chutzpah's second CD Hip Hop Fantasy, shot entirely on the N93. Juliet Landau made a 25-minute documentary about the making of the video.

Theatre

Oldman won a scholarship to the Rose Bruford College, where he received a BA in Theatre Arts in 1979. He had initially applied for enrolment into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, but was refused entry. Oldman told Charlie Rose in 199524 that he was told to "find something else to do for a living". Rose, surprised, asked jokingly, "Have you reminded them of this?", to which Oldman replied that "the work speaks for itself." Following his graduation from Rose Bruford College, he later studied with the Greenwich Young People's Theatre and went on to appear in a number of stage plays including The Pope's Wedding, for which he received Time Out's Fringe Award for Best Newcomer of 1985–1986 and the British Theatre Association's Drama Magazine Award as Best Actor of 1985.

Music

Oldman has had a keen interest in music from an early age. He is a proficient pianist and stated in a 1995 interview with Charlie Rose that he would rather be a musician than an actor.24 Oldman sang and played live piano in the 1988 movie Track 29, and traced over Beethoven compositions in 1994's Immortal Beloved. He also tutored Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe on bass guitar.45 Oldman appeared on Reeves Gabrels' album The Sacred Squall of Now, performing a vocal duet with David Bowie on the track "You've Been Around".46

Popularity and influence

Oldman has long established a cult following among film fans.3047 He is known for playing the primary antagonist in a number of popular motion pictures,248 which has seen him referenced in popular culture. MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch aired a match between Oldman and Christopher Walken, citing their portrayals of many memorable Hollywood villains.49 Oldman's portrayal of Count Dracula was also spoofed by Jim Carrey on Fox comedy series In Living Color.50 His portrayal of Sid Vicious in Sid & Nancy was ranked #62 in Premiere magazine's "100 Greatest Performances of All Time",27 while his portrayal of Stansfield in Léon was ranked #43 in the Online Film Critics Society's "Top 100 Villains of All Time."51 In 1993, Oldman had a cameo role as the Devil in the promo video to the Guns N' Roses single "Since I Don't Have You"35—he also played the Devil in the 2002 BMW short Beat The Devil, alongside Clive Owen, James Brown and Marilyn Manson.52 On popular video sharing website Youtube, Oldman is the subject of a number of tribute videos. In contrast to his often dark on-screen roles, Oldman's affable real-life demeanour has been noted,30 and he was recently named as one of Empire magazine's "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History."53

Three years after acting together in Lost in Space, Oldman shared scenes with Matt LeBlanc during his appearance on Friends, where Oldman's character insists that "real" actors spit on one another when they enunciate, culminating in a memorable "spitting" confrontation between he and LeBlanc. Oldman's performance was well-received, resulting in an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.17

Oldman has influenced many younger actors, including Brad Pitt,7 Daniel Radcliffe,8 Shia LaBeouf,9 Christian Bale,10 Joseph Gordon-Levitt,11 Johnny Depp,12 Chris Pine,13 Jason Isaacs14 and in particular, Ryan Gosling, who has cited Oldman as his favourite actor.15 Oldman has garnered critical acclaim for his diverse performances and portrayals of real-life historical figures34 and is noted for his avoidance of the Hollywood celebrity scene,354 often being referred to as an "actor's actor".56 Film critic Roger Ebert has long been a fan of Oldman's work, hailing him as "one of the great actors, able to play high, low, crass, noble",55 while Janet Maslin has called him a "phenomenal" actor who "since Sid and Nancy has taken on a string of new accents and dramatic identities with stunning ease."28 Oldman's portrayals of eccentric villains have occasionally polarized critics.56 He has recently stated, however, that he seeks to play more reserved roles at this stage in his career.3057

Motion pictures starring Oldman as leading actor or supporting co-star have grossed over $2.3 billion at the United States box office, and over $5.7 billion worldwide.58

Personal life

Despite numerous lead and supporting roles in major Hollywood productions, Oldman is intensely private with his personal life and is known for his stance on celebrity and the ideals of Hollywood, once stating that "being famous, that's a whole other career. And I haven't got any energy for it."30 Oldman was born and brought up in London, England, but moved to the United States in the early 1990s.30 He currently resides in Los Angeles, California with his young family.59 His problems with alcohol were well known during the early 1990s. After a string of alcohol-fuelled debacles he checked himself into Marworth treatment facility in Waverly, Pennsylvania, for alcoholism treatment in 1993.60 In subsequent interviews Oldman acknowledged his problems with alcohol and called himself a "recovering" alcoholic on a 2001 interview with Charlie Rose.24 In 2001, former wife Donya Fiorentino claimed that Oldman had a drug habit and abused her,61 a claim which was investigated by the family courts, child custody evaluator, the police, and Los Angeles city attorney. Oldman was awarded legal custody of their children; Fiorentino was granted short court-monitored visits. Today, Oldman lives a teetotal lifestyle and attributes his success in beating his addiction to Alcoholics Anonymous, and has since publicly praised the organization.62 On 31 December 2008, in a private, formal ceremony, Oldman married Alexandra Edenborough in Santa Barbara, California.63

Oldman has been married four times:

He has three sons: Alfie (b. 1988) from his marriage to Manville, Gulliver Flynn (b. 20 Aug 1997) and Charlie John (b. 11 Feb 1999) from his marriage to Fiorentino.64 His sister, Laila Morse, is also an actress, best known as Mo Harris in the BBC's long-running series EastEnders.
