Happy birthday to Gary! We put my cat to sleep last week, and his name was Sirius Black. He was a black cat that strangely looked like a dog. I called my mother Bellatrix when she said she was putting him down. Naturally, she didnt understand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY OLDMAN! Sirius Black is my favourite :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 08:18:56

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY!!! I love all your movies. You really are a great actor. Oh and i absolutely love you when you went on the tonight show with Conan months ago. Youre so funny! :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 08:29:33

Happy Birthday! Oldman is a great actor except for the fact that he looks NOTHING like Sirius should have! Come to think of it, the only Marauder that was cast correctly was Timothy Spall as Peter...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 08:36:00

Happy Birthday, Gary!! I loove you, and you play the BEST Sirius Black ever! You play the role perfectly, and sometimes I think the character was based off of you! =D Happy Birthday again!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 08:36:12

Happy birthday to one of the greatest character actors ever. In fact, youre so bloody good (in Ron words!) at disguising yourself into your characters that when I saw you as Sirius Black the very first time (in flesh and blood, in the Shrieking Shack scene in PoA), it never occurred to me that this is the same actor who portrayed Dracula, Lee Harvey Oswald, Sid Vicious, Beethoven, Ivan Korshunov, Richard Crosby (in Friends, for which Gary received an Emmy nomination), and a variety of other characters. (I couldnt believe that the actor who portrayed Lt. Jim Gordon in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight was in fact yourself!!). Also, you are one of those few actors who have worked with the best of the best in the US film industry as well as the British film industry. The fact that youve never (thats right, never) been nominated for an Oscar, only shows that youre too good for the Academy.

@wazlibsgirl Why do you have to state negative comments while wishing someone on their birthday, of all days? You have the remaining 364 days of the year to whinge and moan and complain about the fact that Sirius Blacks physical appearance in the films was not matching with his physical appearance in the books (but not on Gary Oldmans birthday). There is a world of difference between the physical appearance of a particular HP character on screen and the portrayal of that character by a particular actor. Are you saying that Gary Oldman was badly cast as Sirius Black, just because Sirius physical appearance in the book did not match with his physical appearance on-screen? A characters physical appearance in the movies has nothing to do in relation to the portrayal of the character by a particular actor. Remus Lupins physical appearance in the films did not match with his physical appearance in the films. But in the films, David Thewlis beautifully brought out the kindness, gentleness, and the emotional support (practically family) that he was turned out to be for Harry. The relationship between Harry and Lupin, and later between Harry and Sirius was so sweet, loving, and genuine in PoA (as if both of them cared for Harry like their own son), despite the fact that the physical appearances of neither Lupin nor Sirius in the films resemble their physical appearances in the books. Btw, how dare you judge a person by their looks??

Happy Birthday, Gary Oldman, you are great as Sirius! @ponderwithjmill, sorry about your cat. And sorry that your mother does not understand the ways of us Potter fans.

@harryathogwarts yes you can he comes back from the dead with the stone when harry finds it in the forest... >.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 14:22:16

narayandivya06101988 It is not a negative comment. When I read Rowlings works of art, Sirius, Remus, and James all looked and ACTED very differently than their movie counterparts. Perhaps you are being a bit too critical as pertaining to my statement. I am not downplaying their skills but rather how they fit the role.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 15:00:54

oh my god i absolutely LOVE sirius! If I had a choice over meeting harry or you i would immediately choose you no questions asked! I agree with Jinxfoot45 I think that sirius was modeled after you! You were made to play him but whyd you have to go and die? when I read that in the book I cried all night! How old is sirius in the movie? Anyway happy birthday!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 16:30:23

such an old man..

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 17:33:37

Heres to a great actor who made me cry when he died. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. Mieschief managed. :)

Combined message for our favourite Marauder actors: David Thewlis bday March 20, and Gary Oldman bday March 21...you Marauders do go together after all!! Watching your interview on the PoA DVD makes me wonder if the two of you were destined to play Sirius and Lupin!! That interview is complete b.a.d.a.s.s.!! Not to mention, just like the marauders, the two of you are very good friends in real life too!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-21 20:33:20

Happy Birthday.. it is my birthday today also.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-22 12:51:47

Happy Birthday Mr.Oldman! You are an amazing actor!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-22 16:30:31

HAPPY B-DAY GARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant believe your 52! i thought you were 40! wow 52!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-22 22:34:54

Further proof that Sirius and Remus are meant for each other. :D God, those two are sexy for their age. Marauders for life.
