Biography

Early life

Oldman was born in New Cross, London, England, the son of Kathleen, an Irish-born homemaker, and Len Oldman, a former sailor who worked as a welder.[9][10] Oldman has said that his father was an abusive alcoholic who left his family when Oldman was seven.[11] Oldman was an accomplished singer and pianist as a child, but gave up music to pursue an acting career.[12] His inspiration was Malcolm McDowell's performance in 1970 movie The Raging Moon.[13] 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.'"[14] 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. , New Cross is a district on the north tip of the London Borough of Lewisham. ...

Theater

Oldman won a scholarship to the Rose Bruford College, where he received a BA in Drama in 1979. He had initially applied for enrollment into Britain's prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, but was refused entry. Oldman told Charlie Rose in 1995[15] 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.

Film Career

1980's

After graduating from drama school in 1978, Oldman spent eight years in theater. During this time he appeared in several minor television films such as Remembrace (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, called Oldman a "bloody good actor".[17] Oldman's performance was ranked #62 on Premiere Magazine's "100 Greatest Performances of All Time."[18] Following roles in British films Prick Up Your Ears (1987) and The Firm (1988), Oldman's first foray into American cinema came in 1988, playing a troubled young Boston lawyer opposite Kevin Bacon in Criminal Law.

In 1991, Oldman starred in what was at that point the most significant role of his career as alleged Presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald in Oliver Stone's JFK. The following year, however, Gary Oldman would become a household name. In arguably the most famous performance of his career, he starred as lovesick Transylvanian vampire Count Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's romance-horror blockbuster Dracula. By far the most commercially successful film adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel[19], it was a major box office success worldwide, and spawned various merchandise and video games.[20][21] 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.[22] This led to major roles in films such as True Romance (1993), León (1994), Murder in the First (1995) and The Fifth Element (1997). Oldman also displayed a skill for accents, most notably in his performances as Ludwig Van Beethoven in Immortal Beloved, and Russian terrorist Ivan Korshunov in 1997 blockbuster Air Force One.
