Because Gary Oldman began his acting career in British theatre, his acting style was filled with intense emotional representation. As a result, people believed he didn't possess the qualities typically expected of a leading actor. However, it was his commitment and transformation for every role—whether that of a hero or a villain—that helped him develop a reputation as one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood. He has worked in several great blockbuster films, including Darkest Hour, JFK, Dracula, The Dark Knight Trilogy, and many more.
