What is this master chameleon best known for?

I'd say Leon the Professional and The Dark Knight movies.

Both remarkable performances that was overlooked by the Academy.

Should have at least been nominated.

These two roles are his peaks.

Sid Vicious in Sid & Nancy.

Gary is such an excellent actor that many answers are acceptable.

You could even say Drexl in True Romance. The options are abundant.

He can di some very good work when he wants.

I really like Oldman, but I feel his character in Leon is wayy too over the top. Not his fault, he's written that way, but I don't really like such characters.

It's those pills that make him that way, he's actually a really good guy.........
