He has a lot of choices and I may missed a few, but my first thought was
Zorg - The Fifth Element

you musta thought it was white boy day ...What about Drexl the Pimp in True Romance? Signature role - maybe. Memorable- hell yeah.
"EVERYONEEEE!!!!"
This is what I though of.What about Drexl the Pimp in True Romance? Signature role - maybe. Memorable- hell yeah.
And Oldman goes on to play Winston Churchill about 25 years later! This actor has some serious range.Nah, it ain't white boy day
I tell this story often. I remember sitting down to watch True Romance with someone who'd never seen it before. Being Los Angeles, we're tuned in to the film industry, so I had mentioned that this was an all-star cast that would be way to expensive to assemble in the modern day. The opening credits list Gandolfini, Pitt, Walken, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Samuel L Jackson, all big names today.
Right when Clarence leaves for LA, the friend I'm watching with noted who among that great cast is dead so far in the film... "So that's it for Samuel L Jackson, Dennis Hopper...?" I said "Yeah, and Gary Oldman too."
"Wait, I missed him, who was he in the movie!?"
I turned and flatly said "...the pimp". The look of complete shock on her face as it clicked was priceless.
Years later, I'm watching with someone else who'd never seen the movie before. Right at the same point, when Clarence's convertible is driving cross country, I pause to tell the story. Halfway through, the person I'm sitting with says "Wait, Gary Oldman was in the movie already?!" I couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, that's exactly what the other person said last time. He was the pimp!"
"Holy ####### ####!"
DDL, but it would have been great if Gary played his right foot.My left Foot
I never fully appreciated the work of Philip Seymour Hoffman until I saw him in "Along Came Polly". Not the best movie, but he was hilarious in it.State of Grace

Hoard is multivariate calculus compared to Tanner's addition function.Is Tanner the only one that can do that schtick?
I'd add "Romeo Is Bleeding" with Lena Olin.Don Quixote said:Lots of good roles. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy probably deserves a mention.
This might be the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me.rockaction said:Hoard is multivariate calculus

Great in that and Boogie Nightsnorthern exposure said:I never fully appreciated the work of Philip Seymour Hoffman until I saw him in "Along Came Polly". Not the best movie, but he was hilarious in it.
First thought that came to mind for me.I'd add "Romeo Is Bleeding" with Lena Olin.
"Do you want it with the arm on or off?"
He still be pimping.northern exposure said:And Oldman goes on to play Winston Churchill about 25 years later! This actor has some serious range.
Lemon Patties - no more important "t"There’s no more important “r” than when googling “Gary Oldman”
