Gary Oldman because he can play virtually any character and you don't even know it's him. He's been in a ton of films and he is very diverse. Good looking too, IMO.

Gary Oldman. Wouldn't have even known he was Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movies had I not seen his name. (in response to post above me)

Same with True Romance. I was like 5 minutes into his scene before I realized it was him. I only realized it cause I had seen his name in the opening credits.

Even if you did know it was him, he is so great that it would be like watching a different person. That is how I feel about Daniel-Day Lewis. Each movie is like watching a different version of the same man. Sometimes it's like night and day.

Harris isn't very versatile

Oldman is one of my favorite actors. Love his character in the Professional.

Ed Harris in a move role is...Ed Harris.

Gray Oldman on the other hand, is a hell of an actor. He can play virtually any role and you would see a different person playing that role every time.

He was a hell of Vlad Dracul in "Bram Stoker's Dracula".

+1 and his character "Zorg" from "The 5th Element"

I don't understand how Oldman hasn't even had an Oscar nod yet in his career. I loved him as Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK.
