Gary Oldman brought intensity and depth to Sirius Black, the wrongly imprisoned godfather with a dark past. The role was just one of many in his long career—he’s appeared in over 50 films and is renowned for disappearing into every character he plays.

From villains in True Romance, The Fifth Element, and Air Force One to his turn in Léon: The Professional, Oldman is a master of transformation. His portrayal of Sirius Black deserves a place among his finest.
