Gary Oldman was born in March 1958. The father drank without drying out, and when the boy turned seven, he left the family. Gary has an older sister, Maureen, who is also an actress, performing under the name Layla Morse. At first, the actor was fond of music and playing the piano, he even thought about becoming a musician, however, inspired by the play of Malcolm McDowell, he decides to try his hand at acting.
After graduating from drama school in 1978, he goes to work at Greenwich Young People's Theater, which will last almost 9 years, and over the years Oldman will receive several awards: Best Newcomer and Best Actor. Work in the cinema was marked by a small role in the series, and in 1982 the first film with Gary Oldman was released - Reminiscence. However, the real breakthrough will be his portrayal of the notorious Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy's tape. The picture and, in fact, the acting of the actor itself will be highly appreciated by critics, and the final success (as a bonus ? “golden ticket” to Hollywood) will bring him the role of the British gay playwright - Joe Orton in the film Priggle Your Ears.
Having played in many popular films to this day, such as, for example, We think only of ourselves, Chattahoochee, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead and The state of frenzy, the actor at the beginning of 1990 moved to the USA from England, where he was born and lived all this time ...
Here, on a new land, the next stage of the actor's popularity begins. In 1992, he plays Dracula in the film of the same name - the film adaptation of the work by Bram Stoker, for whose image he was awarded the Saturn Prize, winning the Best Film Actor nomination. The subsequent roles of Gary Oldman can be described as the embodiment of damn bad guys: this is the role of a corrupt cop in Romeo, and the image of a pimp in True Love, and the main antagonist in the Fifth Element, and, of course, one of the brightest images in the collection of Oldman's villains - the role police officer in Leon. Despite the fact that the actor succeeds in complex images of negative characters, he periodically abandoned such roles, playing positive characters, such as, for example, the image of Sirius Black in Harry Potter and George Smiley in Spy, Get Out!
The actor has a number of awards and nominations, including an Oscar (Spy, get out!)
