Reply to comment by Bubbagumpredditor in What's your favorite example of an actor who completely disappeared in their character with the least amount of makeup or visual effects? by mikebalsaricci

I think he was in a lot of movies that no one knows about, because he can

Cause much of the audience, like me, doesn't find him memorable.

Fascinating, can you give an example of a movie he was in that you didn't find memorable?

I don't find any of them memorable with the possible exception of Zorg in The Fifth Element. But he was especially boring as Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula. But I know I'm right because he's never given leads these days. At most he'll play the villain or some secondary character role.

Lol he's one of the leads in a fantastic TV show at the moment.

If you aren’t finding Gary Oldman’s role memorable, I think you are just smoking too much.

He was excellent and the best part of Dracula

The film was too dark. Oldman was supposed to be a romantic figure and he wasn't. He wasn't even scary.
