I love how immediately humble he was once he saw the vision.

[Sammysgrl]

I’m glad he turned it down. Johnny Depp was perfect.

Gary Oldman, what a treasure. One of my favorite actors

[DarkSpade]

I love his calm attitude when speaking, it's contagious.

[brandonsalisbury]

Gary Oldman is awesome! His character as the corrupt officer in Leon the professional is easily one of the best villains in film!

[shuggiemcg]

The fact he's humble enough to admit it is simply wonderful! He's such a great actor!

[CCBTL]

I love that he recognised his mistake.

[joycediggs]

I can't imagine anyone but Johnny Depp in the role. 😊

[kalphil]

His performance in True Romance blew me away.

[AtZero]

Absolute Legend... His Range is almost unbelievable, Sid & Nancy, Immortal Beloved, True Romance, The Professional, plus more and more, we've been blessed with his talent...

[matthewemerick]

Loved him in "The Professional". When he says to bring him everyone in the crazy scream, chills. Great actor. A perfect Jim Gordon to boot.

[andrewellington]

My favorite actor. Hands down, unquestionably one of the best ever.

[anarchywellness]

Love who he is and his range is second to none. A true legend

I got Gary’s Dracula tattooed on the back of my right arm.
When he all dapped up wit the hat and glasses on.
Did an awesome job In Dracula

[khalidamajoud]

Greatest actor of all times, imo. Even in the not so good films he has starred in, he was absolutely perfect.

[FP]

Thankfully he did a movie he didn’t want to do as a favor because Mr Zorg is one of his great characters

[barbarabudde]

I'm extremely amazed he didnt get an oscar nomination for his extraordinary portrayal of Dracula!!!! What a superb performance!!!!🎉🎉❤❤

[joshboncoeur]

He seems like a nice, down-to-earth guy.

Ya gotta love Gary. I always would have liked to see a double-billing of a film starring Gary Oldman and Daniel Day Lewis. Thise two actors in the same film would set the screen on fire.

Thank you Gary for passing on this role, so Johnny could play Edward. I couldn't see anyone else play Edward. It was a huge milestone for Johnny and Tim.
