I was watching the Fifth Element on AMC with Director’s Notes one night. He’s so good with accents and dialects, he mistakenly lost his normal accent and had to work with a voice coach to get it back.

craigstephent 2 months agoFun Fact: When the staff of DC Comics saw a sneak preview of BATMAN BEGINS, they were freaked out by Oldman’s performance, because his look and mannerisms bore an uncanny resemblence to longtime Batman editor Archie Goodwin… who had died not long before the movie was made!
