From the Batman franchise to his role as Count Dracula, Gary Oldman has proven that he is one of the greatest dramatic actors to ever grace Hollywood. Most recently, his performance as Jackson Lamb in Apple TV+'s "Slow Horses" lit up the screens and earned him a Golden Globe nomination. Given the popularity of the show based on  Mick Herron’s "Slough House" it has been renewed for six seasons, meaning fans will get two more seasons of Oldman action.
