IF this is an inappropriate topic 
for this group THEN a whole 
gaggle of us is guilty of being 
OT!  <wink>  If you go back 
through the archives you'd find 
loads of posts debating the 
casting choices, especially that 
of Black and Lupin.

Before I do that, I am curious 
to know: out of all of Oldman's 
movies, which ones have his 
distracters seen?  I can think 
of at least two that defied the 
'conventional wisdom' that 
fuels the practice of type-
casting that characterizes 
Oldman's filmography.
