Gary Oldman appeared in the «Harry Potter» film franchise as Sirius Black, but looking back on his performance, he believes he could have done better.
Gary Oldman is taking issue with his work in the «Harry Potter» film franchise.
Oldman, who played the role of Sirius Black in four of the series’ eight movies, was discussing his experiences filming the beloved series in a new interview when he admitted, «I think my work is mediocre in it.»
Josh Horowitz spoke with the actor for the «Happy Sad Confused» podcast, and when he admonished him for the critique, Oldman doubled down.
«No, I do,» he said. «Maybe if I had read the books like Alan . . . if I’d got ahead of the curve a bit, I would have played . . . if I’d have known what’s coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently.»
Earlier in the interview, the subject of fellow «Harry Potter» star Alan Rickman came up. Rickman, who played the role of Professor Severus Snape in all eight movies, was famously the only actor who had been informed early on of his character’s fate by author J.
