The Harry Potter films have been graced by some of the top luminaries of the British acting world--Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and the incomparably versatile Gary Oldman. In the Potter films he plays Harry's godfather Sirius Black, but outside the potterverse he has portrayed characters as different as alleged Kennedy-assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
What are some of your favourite Oldman roles/films? He also does videogame voicing and both filmed and print advertising, as his face seems to capture that quintessential not-really-bad Bad Boy look. Are there any of his ads you particularly like, as well? In this thread we will look at this complex Man of a thousand faces for the 21st century, and enjoy an actor that the camera really loves!

Hehe, you finally got your wish, Jamie! 
Unlike many people, I do like him as Sirius. Yeah, he's older than the character's supposed to be, but so is all the other actors in the films!
I also love him in Air Force One, The Fifth Element, and The Scarlett Letter. Well, those are really the only films I remember him in; sadly I haven't seen more of his stuff. 
I haven't seen State of Grace yet, but I find that he looks the hottest there:
He's a fabulous actor, very funny I think. Its kinda sad that OotP will be his last HP film, unless of course, we get Sirius in the seventh book. We'll wait and see.

What Gary Oldman appreciation fest would be complete without Sirius Black? From the wallpapers on the WB OotP website --
Here in the Galleries.
They have made a real change in his appearance in this film, which is as Jo says, that Sirius had been a handsome man, wasted by his years in Azkaban.
Recovered nicely here, I think! Yummy!
