We love Gary Oldman... the dude always gives a movie stealing performance. With that being said no one other than Samule L Jackson wears a hairpiece to complement his character better then Oldman. Thats a second place finish you can be proud of (Sammy L is the king of the wigs, hands down!!!) Check out this cool print by Derrick Eads and click here to buy some of his work. Thanks to /film for the tip. Great stuff... check it out!
Underrated by who?! He's amazing!
ReplyDeleteTommy, a anybody who the top 5 best actors of the last 25 years are, and almost nobody will put Oldman. You wll get a ton of Hanks, Pitt, Clooney, Depp & some others... but you very rarely will get Oldman despite the fact that he should be right up their with those guys. He is remarkable. And his use of hairpieces is rediculous, no?????
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way as Tommy when I first read your article....but, it's true. Our circle of friends will probably name him in the top 10 actors of our time...but, mainstream America will probably have to be reminded he exists after they rattle off their top 10 which probably just includes the usual suspects.
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a upcoming article...top 10 actors!
I've been a big fan of his for years. I guess you guys are right... as far as mainstream audiences go, they'd probably pick a Tom Cruise-type before Gary Oldman. But we know the deal.
