Master Of Disguise

Hmm, that actor looks familiar, maybe I've seen him in a TV show? I'll just take a look on IMDB and AAAAH IT'S GARY OLDMAN I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

From now on I am going to assume that every vaguely familiar actor I can't immediately identify, be it middle-aged white dude, little girl, swarthy black dude, Asian femme fatale, Star Trek redshirt, rubber monster, wisecracking CGI fish, Muppet, or any other possible animate thing on screen, is Gary Oldman. I will probably have a 95% chance of being right.

My brother has this theory that Gary Oldman is objectively the greatest actor in the world, because no matter how many of his movies we see, we still have NO IDEA what he looks like. Now THAT'S some acting.

And not only that, he completely changes his mannerisms with every single role. I can't even imagine what it's like to be a guy that has portrayed Dracula and Commissioner Gordon and Jean Baptiste Emanuel Goddamn Zorg all within one lifetime. That's amazing.
