Gary Oldman Video Interview On ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’
Gary Oldman, the legendary English actor, stars with Colin Firth in the film version of the John le Carré novel, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. In the film, Oldman plays George Smiley, an English spy taken out of retirement to investigate a potential mole in a senior role in British intelligence. For Oldman, the process of discovering and developing his character was an intricate one. “You know, you draw on really what you can, you use a bit of your own life, and a bit of the book, and I met with John le Carré, and you use a little of him. You piece it together like a jigsaw. Actually, it’s like a Rubik’s cube, you want to get all the sides lined up,” remarks Oldman in the interview.
