Gary Oldman calls his own performance in “Harry Potter” “mediocre”

Gary Oldman is not a big fan of his performance as the character Sirius Black in the “Harry Potter” saga. In a new interview, the actor called his performance in the saga “mediocre” and stated that he would have played the role in a different way today.

“I think my work is mediocre at this,” commented Gary Oldman on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, in an episode published on Thursday (29).

Then, the actor said that today he sees how he could have performed differently. “Maybe if I had read the books like Alan [Rickman]if I had been ahead of myself, if I had known what was coming, I honestly think I would have interpreted it differently,” he said on the podcast.

Gary Oldman played Sirius Black, Harry Potter's godfather who was a wrongly framed prisoner. His appearances occur in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (2004) and “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” (2007).

During the interview, Gary Oldman also criticizes his performance in “Bram Stoker's Dracula”, from 1992. “I would put everything on fire, burn it and do it all over again”, he said.
