I have even more respect for this man after this interview. He's just 100% genuine without any of the pretentiousness we've come to expect from actors.
This gives me hope in pursuing one of my dreams which is to become a voice actress. :'> I'm an English major with theatre and drama subjects. I'm most likely going to end up a professor but I really want to give life to characters one day...through voice or writing..like Gary. ;w; He was a shy and quiet child too..ahh Gary my love I understand u///u
Retkiapina - you're absolutely spot on. He IS a very interesting person, as far as he lets us know...... and I think he is the best English-speaking actor alive. Brando always played Brando to some extent, but Gary Oldman plays the parts and in elaborating them, loses his own identity (at least as much of it as we understand from good interviews). One thing that does bug me is the way The Scarlet Letter has been practically wiped from his filmography. He plays this part so beautifully......
I think in small venues, audience reactions always seem a bit over-the-top. Thanks for posting this Oldman interview. Since becoming a cinephile, Oldman has been my #1 favorite thespian.
He is Mark Rylance. Just an interesting trivia: he played the lead in the movie 'Intimacy', but the director originally wanted Gary Oldman for the role.
I'm English and he cracked me up on the Cream joke, but yes the Americans do tend to be obsequious or maybe it's they're are more vocal with their enthusiasm not sure.
......even if the script has been criticized for so deviating from Hawthorne's book. As a woman of around the same age as Oldman, I would love to see him in another sensitive and sensuous role.....The best part of this film? (no, really, there are too many best parts)....is when he withdraws from kissing Hester for the first time ("Nay, we could both be hanged for this")...sizzling...one of his best roles - many critics were too influence by Oldman and Moore's previous film roles (the idiots!)
Why is it a shame? So everyone is supposed to live a pristine life, never make any mistakes, be perfect all the time. Well I guess Pacino is a shame also because he had a drinking problem. What about Robert Downey, Jr.? Without drugs and booze all movies would suck.
Possibly and probably the greatest actor of our time.
His intensity on screen is unbeatable IMHO. His humility here is BRILLIANT!!

This is THE BEST Gary Oldman interview I've seen. Major props to the interview, fantastically done!
He's like one of the old movie stars of yesteryear. A great talent and a very intelligent man.
Mesmerizing actor and speaker.

I'm guessing that the only thumbs-down on this video is because of the volume level
WiseGuy5674 hahaha especially since there is still only one downvote.

Mark Rylance is an astonishing actor, was lucky enough to see him in 'Jerusalem' as Rooster. love this
outstanding and so brilliant
I love Gary´s impersonations, hi is hilarious!!! :)
Hes very mesmerizing
He is Mark Rylance.

He was actually wearing this same outfit when he was doing voicework for Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2! o-o
another lovey
gary is my favorite..he looks like quite a handful !! a bit of a bad boy ..but isn't that why we love him?!
I'm English and he cracked me up on the Cream joke, but yes the Americans do tend to be obsequious or maybe it's they're are more vocal with their enthusiasm not sure.

despite the thick skin i would fully believe he is a very sensitive sweet person.
Drexl? What's a Drexl?
Says something if it was his best work though, ay!
If he's not tired of playing musicians, I think he's a dead ringer for Eric Clapton.
Yes

It's a shame he did his best work on the booze.
the interviewer looks like a female version of Kevin Smith
09nob and what is wrong with that?
looks like never entirely forgot the gay playwrite... lol
Americans...
Such a pretty, personable, open host. If she would lose about 200 lbs. she would get more work.
