    I’m beginning to think about Karl Urban how I think of Gary Oldman. He acts so well he blends in. You see the character over the actor.

      I looked him up on IMDB because of this comment, and I had no idea Batman’s Gordon and Sirius Black from Harry Potter was the same actor.

        These two roles for Gary Oldman are the ones that got me too. I was talking to a random person about Oldman as Gordon. And they said oh yea I really liked him in Harry Potter. I froze up for a second thinking through all the characters. Not finding him quickly so I assume he was a much more minor role. Some shop keeper or something. And then had to ask.

        “He was Sirius black!” I felt dumbstruck, my whole face went loose as I realized. And I said holy crap! “From Gordon to Sirius to John Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg. That dude has some range”

        The person I was talking to froze up and went loose faced the same as me. They didn’t know he was Zorg.

        The dude becomes. He doesn’t act.

      He really does seem to be the next generation (heh) of that type of actor. So many times I end up watching something and saying “Holy shit is that Karl Urban?” after ages of just vibing.
