ABOUT GARY OLDMAN:
Earlier this year, at the 2011 Empire Awards, Gary Oldman was honored with the Icon Award for Achievement. An acclaimed presence in motion pictures for 25 years, he is regarded as one of the foremost actors of his generation.
Mr. Oldman is known to millions the world over for playing Sirius Black (Harry Potter's godfather), Commissioner Jim Gordon (Batman/Bruce Wayne's crime-fighting partner), Dracula, Beethoven, Pontius Pilate, Lee Harvey Oswald, Joe Orton, and Sid Vicious, to name just a few of his iconic characterizations whose ranks George Smiley now joins.
Over the past 18 years, the U.K. native has appeared in 11 movies that have opened in the #1 position at the box office. As part of the two most successful franchises in movie history, he has appeared in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates, respectively; and Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises (opening in 2012). - Zábava
I love every interview done by Jenelle, she's fab.
Yes. She seems so positive person :)
Yeah she's a good interviewer. She feels like a fan without gushing.
I couldn't agree MORE! I love her! She is so passionate and so caring! xxx
She is so comprehensively prepared and then add to that her sparkling good nature! She's just the best!
Helps them relax.
When I grow up, I wanna be Gary Oldman.
When I grow up I wanna be interviewed by Janelle.
Yes...Gui Oldman😛
Gui Porto me too, except I’m 47.

That role has been taken. No way you're topping that.
Jenelle is just brillant. I've seen Oldman in another interview and he was extremely unconfortable because of a crap interviewer. Here he is being so relaxed and funy.
Yes! She's so welcoming and has a natural warm to her... I really enjoy her interviews
I have never seen her in an interview. It is a fine art. She is good at it. I have done interviews on Internet radio, as the interviewer, and it is harder than one thinks it is to pull off. In this case, she has a fantastic guest, who has had a long distinguished career.
Does anyone know what he says at 4:08? He is imitating his mother. Thank You.

"oh, you're his hero"
Imagine waking up one day, and realizing you're Gary Oldman. He's been playing you all this time. He's that good.
LOVE this guy .... "One night, Juliette forgot to appear at the balcony" .... Almost fell off my chair laughing at that one !
"I've crossed oceans of time to find you."
Wow, that is good.
The best "ACTOR"....whorshiped by his peers, admired by the fans, respected by the film and theathre comunity. LEGEND
He's an actor's actor, isn't he? Of all his roles, Sirius Black is my favorite. and it is hard to come up with a favorite. Oldman is consistently the best actor in any project.
Felipe Arce maybe worshiped by fans, admired by peers? he is a legend..
Gary Oldman is a REAL DEAL!!!! What a pleasure watching this. It is no accident he has executed such masterful performances,
"Well, what do I do? I'm 500 years old and I'm dead. So they put me in a coffin."
Greatest. Out of context line. *Ever.*
Ah, Gary Oldman, one of my favorite actors of all time.
I love how honest he is about auditioning. ❤ He seems so down to earth and sweet. One of my favorite actors. He's pretty funny too.
He's cheekier than I knew.
One of the best interviewer I have ever seen, she knows what she is doing and is totally prepared for it.
Jenelle Riley is wonderfully disarming and perceptive.
When he describes the audition process, and how he hired someone for his own film, we see something special. Casting folk bullying actors to "get something" from them? Awful, really--his kindness shows through. Only a great interviewer can get such a story.
This should be required viewing for all budding artists, because most of us encounter far more discouragement and disparagement than we do encouragement or support.
Unless you’re over 50 and want to start acting 😂
How many knew he played Mason Verger in "Hannibal" alongside Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore. Very underrated role...outstanding actor, definitely in my top 3
I agree, one of his best roles!!! I couldn't believe it was him.
The interviewer is so great, she's so lovely and calming . Really great interview
Great interview. This man made me become an actor. I really appreciate the in-depthness of this interview, no pretentiousness. Gary Oldman is one of the best.
Great interview. Lovely relaxed interviewer. She let Gary talk. Hilarious at times. Like an evening at the theatre.
rare depth & scary brilliance on screen
Mr.Gary Oldman is in my personal catalog of the most extraordinary actors and actresses.
I can only dream that I was able to act like one of them.
After state of grace. I was telling everyone he would be one of the greatest actors of all time. He did not disappoint and im glad people finally have realized.
State Of Grace, such a powerful film, he steals the show in a film full of great actors
Wish they'd had a chance to discuss _Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead_ but he's just done so many wonderful performances it's difficult to mention them all. Must say Jenelle interviews so well that it appears effortless. Thoroughly enjoyed this!
It blows my mind that NONE of the interviews I've watched even bring up Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
See, their are straight talking people in this world.
Good interview, good presenter.
When Mr Oldman is in a movie,you know its gonna be a great film.
Welllll??🤔...don't get me wrong, I love 😍Gary Oldman...BUT have you seen Stephen Hopkins 1998s 'Lost in Space'?! Not even Gary Oldman or William Hurt could "save"😒 that movie....
I've seen this video probably 10 times and still can't get enough ... so in love with him! His charisma is irresistible
Why is this man so cool?
still haven't gotten over his part in Air Force One. Scarred me as a kid. But even then I thought..."wow this guys brilliant." Especially when I learned he wasn't Russian.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a moment in any of Oldman’s performances which hits a false note. If I see his name in the cast, I’m watching it, regardless of my interest in the subject matter. His talent is THAT great!
Brilliant,Wonderful Interview!
my very favorite actor of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s great really let’s them speak great questions etc bravo
He’s a marvelous craftsman and a pure actor. By far the greatest British actor of the last 40 years. Day Lewis has been way more selective hence the aura, but try (like Caine, Oldman, DeNiro, Pacino, Hackman) to be consistently great and to show something special - pretty much every time - across 70-80 films. It’s way easier to be brilliant once every 5-7 years.
Best interview of Gary Oldman I have ever heard !
This generation 🙄 if lucky enough and appreciative enough to see this man's talent r very fortunate he's a one of a kind...he makes amazing movies and a pleasure to listen to...
I didn't want to see this because it's so long but I'm glad I did. It is a great interview and Oldman is funny and genuine and candid.
“They’re my great accomplishments “ that’s EVERYTHING - just everything ❤️
So proud of his Oscar win! :)
Garry Oldman is one of the best actors ever.
LEGEND! ...One of my most fave interviews with him!
His acting reel is amazing. It was shown during award’s season for Tinker. One of the best I’ve ever seen.
Wish they had a better audio mix. Other then that. Very fun interview.
Gary is such an amazing dude.
Gosh, he has such a lovely smile. Good to know that now and then, an actor can actually be successful thanks to his ability to act. Fuck all the bullies who suppressed him.
A true genius of the acting profession - one of the best and surely the most versatile of repertoires - glad the rest of the world is now waking up to this fact.
Love Jenelle's interviews, such a pro :)
I don't know if it's me but I just have to watch a Gary Oldman movie 3 or 4 times just to appreciate the Genius of this man
Leaving aside the pinnacle of his artistry, he is one of the most exemplary human beings I have ever seen . . .
Meisner - Living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
That is what I am studying now. Meisner in my opinion is one of the best technique for any actor or artist.
One of the best actors ever
I LOVE these interviews, but I do wish there were follow-up spur of the moment questions to side comments the guests make. For instance, Gary says he'd like to stomp some of SID AND NANCY into the ground but there's no follow-up as to why or which parts. Gary is revealing some personal truths and they go by the wayside without digging deeper. Get those gems!
Gary is one of the best actors of our era. I equate him with Daniel Day-Lewis and Patrick Stewart (subject to opinion). Great upload. Thanks, SAG!
Loved Gary in 5th Element
Such a pleasure to have Gary Oldman, thanks to SAG for having him, thanks to him for sharing, and thanks to the Interviewer
I totally enjoyed both of them. I wish that she would interview me.
knowing where the landscape is here or here, yeah i understand completly
He seems like a great person (only few mintues into the video). I have never seen him in interviews and Kevin Bacon and they are both phenomenal in terms of personality. Collin Farrell was a shocker too!!
Jenelle's interview of Colin Farrell is the one that I constantly go back to, haha
@@tomandlucy100 Saaaaame!!
He is just THE BEST
Gary Oldman is such a fantastic actor, he plays so many different characters so versatile man!
This guy played Drexl on True Romance..believable wanna black gangster but amazingly convincing.
44:45 = pure gold
one of the best actors EVER!!!
Nice to see Mr. Oldman relaxed and having a good time with the audience
This is a great conversation, bringing out some humour and honesty in Gary. He’s super relaxed and clearly enjoying it. Lots of laughs. Quite unvarnished and not under the weight of an upcoming production, by the looks of it fantastic 👌
I love him in State of Grace.
Superb interview and remarkable actor
Great interviewer! Janelle, fantastic !
She was so lovely. What a great interview. Who knew Winston Churchill was coming up.
I loved his role in the professional. He was fantastic.
He is just a wonderful human being.
God knows my neverending love for this outstandingly amazing genius Man.
Bow down to him!❤️❤️❤️
Listening to this with headphones it hits me. He sounds eerily like bloody David Bowie.
Great interview (as always) but the volume levels are all over the place... I had to crank my speakers up to 10 to follow the interview - until the audience came in laughing in twice the volume. No fun to have to follow an interview while also juggle with the volume buttons every time he makes a joke.
He is amazing! Loved him in Friends, among all his movies! such a great man!
He was great in The Professional.
+Bruce Gooding He's been in great in everything I've ever seen him in. Seriously, not just good, GREAT.
His brief screen-time in True Romance was an unexpected treat. I never would've expected him to pull off a dread-locked, scar-faced wigger haha...
Yesss that’s the film I’ve always remembered him for.
Leon is amazing. Not sure why they renamed it for the American market.
Gary Oldman was just so unrecognisable in "Nobody's Baby"...he can be such a chameleon. 👌🏻😍
Very good interview
44-45.10. What an incredible actor is this man...
The best actor of my generation 👌👌
Nil By Mouth... now thats a hard watch for me personally for so many reasons. He is a genius.
LoL. "My Lord!"
It'd be the usual bullshit...My Lord'! xD
Gary Oldman carries the tradition of Clift, Brando and Dean - just great in "Sid & Nancy" and most exceptional in "State of Grace" - a very humble & funny person as well.
He's so cool
Only if I could meet him :(
Interviewer brilliant as always. Tinker Tailor is an excellent film and Gary did it justice
Somebody needs to cast Gary Oldman in a pure comedy. He would be great.
The sketch from the guy in the wing, Hilarious👏
Great interview, wish they would have talked about how he got involved with State of Grace and what that experience was like being one of the first films since he moved to the states. Also, wish someone would ask him about Drexl!! Lol someone ask him where he found that guy!
The Romeo and Juliet anecdote!
NIL BY MOUTH was brilliant.
I watched so many sag aftra conversations but I'm telling it's the best one out of the rest
Best actor alive today.
he was fantastic in state of grace
One of the scariest powers good actors have shown me is their ability to draw on uncomfortable experiences, take them out of context and insert them where needed.
Sadly, I don't get to see it often. Only on the cutting room floor really and even then it is implied. It's remarkable. I couldn't do that and keep a straight face. While editing I do draw from the well of horrors but I don't have to look like I'm in pain. I can simply be in pain and empathize to more accurately communicate the feeling. The computer doesn't judge and all the producers and directors care about is what they wanted. They don't care how I got there.
have been trying to remember if I have ever seen a better interviewer /moderator.
no.
they got to repeat that now...right man in very right place,gary o.
!😉he was almost as scary in the professional as DRACULA!😅😉☺great ACTOR!!//HES hilarious !!!
November 3rd... Sirius’ birthday 😭 #stillbitter
I concur with your sentiment.
Such wisdom here..
LEON! THE BEST
That scarf tho...
