Born in London in 1958, he began his career in the theater, where he showed his talent and passion for acting.
The British theatrical tradition is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the world, boasting names such as Shakespeare, Marlowe, Shaw, Wilde and many others. British actors train in renowned schools such as the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art or the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where they learn the techniques and nuances of acting on stage. Many of them begin their careers in the theater, where they try their hand at classical or modern plays, dramatic or comic, and engage with live audiences.
Gary Oldman graduated in 1979 from the Rose Bruford School of Speech and Drama.
His first major role was as Sid Vicious, the leader of the Sex Pistols, in the 1986 film Sid and Nancy.
Since then, he has worked with famous directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, Oliver Stone, Christopher Nolan, and Joe Wright. He has won numerous awards and honors, including an Oscar for his performance as Winston Churchill in The Darkest Hour in 2017.
