Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy birthday to actor Gary Oldman!

My scene that I love features Gary Oldman as Harry S Truman in Oppenheimer.  Oldman doesn’t get a lot of screentime in Oppenheimer but he shows what a brilliant actor can do with a small role.  His casual dismissal of Oppenheimer’s guilt is one of the strongest moments in the film.  (And, for those of us who found Oppenheimer, as a character, to be a bit self-asborbed, it’s a cathartic moment, as well.)
