Gary Oldman is celebrating his 68th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-director Gary Oldman (Batman Begins, The Fifth Element, Immortal Beloved, Léon: The Professional, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 68th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Oldman, a cultural icon

Born in London on March 21, 1958, Gary Oldman's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Oldman's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Gary hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gary Oldman as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 68.

Happy Birthday, Gary, you're the best!
