About
Gary Leonard Oldman is an English screen and stage actor, filmmaker and musician. He rose to prominence in Britain after playing Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy, and Joe Orton in Prick Up Your Ears, for which he received a BAFTA Award for Best Actor nomination; those performances led pre-eminent film critic Roger Ebert to describe Oldman as "the best young British actor around".
