Gary Oldman: A Life in Pictures

20 December 11

_{The full length Gary Oldman interview video is available to watch now on BAFTA Guru.}

On the 18 September, actor Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) discussed his career in film in a special Life in Pictures interview.

From his visceral portrayal of Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, to his compelling Lee Harvey Oswald in Oliver Stone's JFK, Gary Oldman is able to metamorphose into a broad range of roles. His career has spanned three decades with huge critical and commercial success. His directorial debut, Nil by Mouth, earned him two BAFTA Film Awards.

Nil By Mouth is an emotional well that I have been drawing on for years.

In this video - available to watch in full on BAFTA Guru - Oldman talks about getting rejected from RADA, why Bram Stoker's Dracula is a romance rather than a horror film, and discusses at length his various critically acclaimed performances.
