Gary Oldman

Oi oi! Gary is an authentic Londoner who was born in a bow bell. Initially, like all Londoners, he aspired to become a Pearly King. But, due to pearly corruption in the upper echelons of the pearly administration, he found himself ostracised and fell into acting, developing a niche for shouting manically in an East European accent. It was a talent that made him a hot property in Hollywood for nearly three decades.
