Gary Oldman
Born: 1958
Crazy Cockney method acting doesn't get more intense. Oldman killed his girlfriend for Sid And Nancy, rose from the grave for Dracula, shot a president for JFK and, well, was a bit evil for Air Force One. He is, however, one of Britain's and now Hollywood's most powerful screen presences, even in heavy disguise - see Hannibal! Oldman has used Hollywood shite to fund his dream projects. His gritty directorial debut, Nil By Mouth, owes its existence to blockbuster nasties such as Lost In Space. Nice one, old man.
