Gary Oldman has been in many blockbusters, including Harry Potter and Batman, but a lot of people don’t realize how many other roles he has played in famous movies. He’s played some of the most versatile roles and complex characters, and he transforms himself into those characters so well that sometimes you don’t even realize it’s him!
- Air Force One
Often overshadowed by Harrison Ford in the lead role, Oldman brilliantly played the villain and hijacker, Ivan Korshunov. The Russian accent sounds so real! - Dracula
All of the makeup and costuming in this one made him even more unrecognizable as the infamous vampire, Dracula. - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
A spinoff of Hamlet; Oldman stars as Rosencrantz alongside Tim Roth as Guildenstern in this clever tale. - The Book of Eli
While he still looks like himself in this movie, you probably didn’t notice he was Carnegie since Denzel Washington, the lead, took up most of the screen time. - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Super-intelligent talking apes and a virus that has knocked out most of the human population? We guess that’s a pretty big distraction from noticing Gary Oldman.
