Chilly Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Love Gary Oldman. He should have an Oscar for all of his amazing acting roles.

Though I did just read a crazy fact: because of the Harry Potter movies and the Dark Knight trilogy, Gary Oldman is the highest grossing actor of all time. How is that possible?

KD in CA Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Gary Oldman is the highest grossing actor of all time. How is that possible? This is how.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt1W0F0yObg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ouch... Though I did just read a crazy fact: because of the Harry Potter movies and the Dark Knight trilogy, Gary Oldman is the highest grossing actor of all time. How is that possible? I thought I had read the same thing about Samuel Jackson recently. Thanks to his willingness to take on even the most minor of roles, he's been in an endless list of big time money makers. The Star Wars prequels, Ironman 1 and 2, the Avengers,... you can go on and on with that list. And he'll wind up in all of the Marvel movies moving forward, so the money will keep on growing. Maybe he gets passed over for Oldman though since he's done a lot of uncredited roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ouch...

Highest grossing actors? What does that even mean? Oh and I'm proud to say I never heard of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does his roles so well and blends in so well, you sometimes don't even know he is playing the role. He has a ton of cool roles in a ton of cool movies. I forgot to add the Professional which had a young Panaquin (The Black Swan fame) in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SelmonSmith6378 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Awesome, AWESOME vid man. Gary Oldman is my favorite actor. The Proffesional, Dracula, The Book of Eli. The guy's the BEST! And after watching this little clip from Kazaam, his reaction seems justified. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D70cPxYHb0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I guess it changes over time...I remember reading the same about Patrick Stewart some time ago. I'd also expect to see someone like Hugo Weaving thanks to being in movies like the Lord of the Rings series and the Transformers series that raked in a ton of money. It really is a pointless ranking though since movies tickets today cost about twice as much as they did even ten years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 And the Matrix. He's gotta be up there. And look at all the movies we're talking about here with the actors that have been mentioned: Star Wars X-Men Lord of the Rings Transformers Harry Potter Batman Avengers ... It all comes down to who is the king to all the nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
