Out of the many characters Gary Oldman has played in his career, Zorg from The Fifth Element may be one of the most memorable. Gary Oldman's long and vaunted movie career has earned him three Academy Award nominations with one win, one Emmy nomination, and three Golden Globe nominations with one win. A true chameleon, Oldman disappears into his roles, sometimes putting on a heavy disguise and transforming into a real person like in Darkest Hour, and sometimes just changing his movements and voice like in Léon: The Professional. It's hard to argue the actor's considerable talent, though that doesn't mean Oldman has escaped all controversy.
