Gary Oldman Considers His Acting In Harry Potter Film Medioker

Legendary actor Gary Oldman considers his acting in the Harry Potter franchise to be a medioker. He called his acting in the film different from his standard acting due to several things.

Gary Oldman played Sirius Black in four Harry Potter films, from the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in 2004 to the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2007.

"I think my acting is midoker there. Maybe if I've read his book like Alan (Rickman) I got the outline, I know what's going on," said Gary Oldman in the Happy Sad Converted podcast.

"To be honest I think I can play differently," he said.

"I'll tell you. It feels like everything, if I sit and look at myself in something and say 'Oh my God, I'm amazing' it's going to be a sad day, because you guys want to make things even better going forward,' he explained.

On the other hand, Oldman is very grateful to be able to get a role in the Harry Potter franchise and Dark Knight. The series of projects saved him when he had to support his children after the divorce.

"At 42 years, I divorced and got custody of my children. It was difficult because there was an industrial shift where production was carried out in Hungary, Budapest, Prague, Australia, all over this place," Oldman said.

"Thank God for Harry Potter. I explained - two films - Batman and Harry Potter - they saved me because it meant at least to my job to get as much money and be at home with the kids," he said again.

Meanwhile, Gary Oldman last acted in the film Oppenheimer and starred in the Slow Horses series.
