Academy Award Nominee Gary Oldman

synathroesmus:

“I’ve been very lucky at what’s happened in my career to date, but playing something as far from me as possible is an ambition of mine, anything from a mutated baddy in a comic book action thriller to a detective. If anything, I’d like Gary Oldman’s career, he’s the perfect example. I’d love to have a really broad sweep of characters, to be able to do something edgy, surprising and unfashionable.” – Benedict Cumberbatch, 2005
