Gary Oldman: His best performance?


Is this Gary Oldman's best performance ever? Or is this the best Dracula performance?

reply

The Contender.

Best Dracula without a doubt.

As far as I'm concerned, Oldman's been amazing in everything he's ever done... he needs more work... would love to see him work with Tarantino again.... which reminds me... nothing beats his acting in True Romance... he's always brilliant

I'd say best Dracula as well. Gary Oldman not only gave it his best in this performance, he also resembled Vlad the Impaler more than any other actor who played Dracula. Also his old man version, despite the costumes, is the creepiest version of Dracula ever, especially with all the wonky stuff that happens around him (i.e. his shadow moving all by itself)! Bela Lugosi may be the most iconic, Alucard from Hellsing may be the scariest, Orlock from Nosferatu may have the most visually unsettling appearance, and Christopher Lee may be pure evil, but Gary Oldman's performance of Dracula as an old man is creepy as hell!

Gary Oldman was amazing as Dracula. It's hard for me to say which of his performances is my favorite because his characters are so different and he embodies each one. I totally disagree about Oldman being unattractive. He brings depth and sensitivity to his characterization of Dracula along with chivalry. I swoon every time I watch it.

No, and no.

Hell yes .Better than the Batman movies. He was great as Gorden, but he was SICK as Vlad Tapes III or Dracula.

Since it's one of my favorite performances of all time, I would have to say that although I like everything Oldman does,, I think this was his best!!
