He is the best actor ever because he can play any character ever and truly capture an audience, even in a small role. See True Romance for instence he plays a pimp with dreadlocks and is in it for like 10 mins but still is the first character that comes to mind. And also Leon AMAZING: "Bennie, bring me everyone. " "What do you mean everyone? " "EVERYONE! "
Brilliant is the word I would use to coin Oldman, simply brilliant. He has played Dracula, Lee Harvey Oswald, Beethoven, Sid Vicious! The diversity of these characters is testament to the versatility of Oldman. Choosing his best role is a little simpler than Lewis. #1- Stansfield, Leon #2- Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK

Gary Oldman is so underrated. He is more versatile than half the actors mentioned above, and has so much talent that on the screen he can keep you captivated film after film. He needs to get an Oscar, he is amazing and I love him!
When you're watching a movie and you can't quite place that guy but you think you've seen him before, it's Gary Oldman. If we're talking pure acting ability and not popularity or perfect looks, Gary Oldman is simply in a class of his own. Drexel : "It ain't white boy day, is it? "
Gary oldman is the best actor ever! I can't believe his this low, or maybe people just don't know about him, but he is AWESOME! Why did they put Jared Leto up there? What's wrong with you people?
Oldman is the most underrated actor on this list. By far my Favorite. Very versatile actor who can play any style of character from Beethoven to Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg.
A man who deserves an Oscar for every performance given. He is so great in his roles most of the time you can't even tell its an actor playing him. He needs to be higher.

I like gary oldman and daniel radcliffe.. their godfather-godson relation in Harry Potter was outstanding... it was just like they were real father and son... O:-)
Versatile. Understands the roles he plays amazing. Gary Pldman, Jean Reno and Natalie Portman what a combination! Oldman in Batman? Is it the same guy?
This guy is brilliant. Every time I see him in a movie I don't see an actor in the roll at all. He becomes completely lost in his part in the story.

Why is his man not number one on this list? He can out-act everyone. EVERYONE! Enough said.
can play anything, so diverse! He went from Harry Potters Sirius Black to Batman's Gordon and played both of them diverse from each other
One of the greatest actors of all time, so good that he disappears into character making some his deserved notoriety obscure.
Anyone who knows anything of acting knows gary he is the Michael jordan of acting by far the most range. Period.
Gary Oldman is such an amazing actor, and he has been in so many memorable films. He deserves to win this!
he's a cool actor as the acting he did in harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban was awesome
The only reason Oldman is not number one is because people don't recognize him in his films.
Ridiculous to be below Hollywood and Bollywood box office types. A genius.
So many different roles. Never knew it was him until I read the creadits.
How is this man at least not in top 10?! Seriously he was Sirius Black!
Such diverse roles - from terrorist to dracula to Sirius to Policeman
The best living actor! A chameleon end of discussion!
I simply love him. I want my husband to be like Gary
And also Leon AMAZING:
"Bennie, bring me everyone. "
"What do you mean everyone? "
"EVERYONE! "
