Gary Oldman first reached American audiences in 1986 with his gripping title role in the docudrama Sid and Nancy. His portrayal of Sid Vicious earned Oldman critical acclaim and established his penchant for playing "troubled" characters. Oldman mined this talent with roles such as Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK, the dark prince in Dracula, a drug dealer in True Romance, and as a corrupt DEA agent in The Professional.
