Biographical Notes in German: 2018 Golden Globe als bester Schauspieler in The Darkest Hour
Geboren wurde Gary Oldman am 21 März 1958 in London, England. Der Sohn eines Schweißers und Schuhmachers gewann ein Stipendium und konnte so Schauspiel an der Rose Bruford Drama College studieren, wo er 1979 sein Studium mit einem Bachelor of Arts abschloss. Nach dem Schauspielstudium verdiente er sich als professioneller Bühnenschauspieler sein Geld - und etliche Auszeichnungen bei zahlreichen Produktionen in London.
Nach Auftritten mit der Royal Shakespeare Company und in einigen Fernsehfilmen gab Oldman 1986 in Alex Cox' "Sid & Nancy" sein gefeiertes Leinwanddebüt als Musiker Sid Vicious und wurde prompt zum besten Newcomer des Jahres gekürt. Seinen Ruf als intensiver Charakterdarsteller festigte er im Jahr darauf mit seiner Darstellung des schwulen Dramaturgen Joe Orton in Stephen Frears' "Prick Up Your Ears". Kurz darauf siedelte Oldman nach Los Angeles über.
Die amerikanischen Kritiker hatte er bereits überzeugt, als er 1991 in der Rolle des mutmaßlichen Kennedy-Attentäters Lee Harvey Oswald in Oliver Stones "JFK - Tatort Dallas" seinen ersten großen Kinoerfolg feierte. Oldman, der selbst in extremen Kostümen oder Make-ups (etwa als Fürst der Dunkelheit in "Dracula", als weißer Rasta-Gangster in "True Romance" oder als futuristischer Waffenhändler-Hitler in "Das fünfte Element") nie sein Format als Schauspieler verliert, zählt mittlerweile zu den meistbeschäftigsten Charakterdarstellern Hollywoods. Zu seinen jüngeren Kinoerfolgen zählen "Lost in Space", "Hannibal" und der Hit beim letzten Sundance Festival "Nobody's Baby". Auch als Regisseur hat sich Gary Oldman bewährt. Mit großem Erfolg stellte er 1997 bei den 50. Filmfestspielen in Cannes sein Regiedebüt "Nil by Mouth" vor, wo der Film im Wettbewerb lief und die Hauptdarstellerin Kathy Burke den Preis als Beste Schauspielerin entgegennehmen durfte.
