53. Gary Oldman in conversation with Stephen Colbert

This is a compilation post, because I just discovered that recently—six months ago—Stephen Colbert did a wonderful interview with (interview-shy) Gary Oldman, and it exists on YouTube in several segments. And I will want to watch them all again, because . . . Gary Oldman! Gary Oldman's laugh! Plus, Colbert is a terrific interviewer, and Oldman was in form. So, here you go. Maybe not in order, I can't tell. I hope I caught them all.

And of course, the Colbert Questionnaire:

And finally, here's another, related, interview with several of the Slow Horses cast and Colbert:

That's enough. I'm waiting until all the episodes of season 5 of Slow Horses drop, and then you know I'll be binge-watching. It's a wonderful series of books, and the filmic rendition is perfect.
