Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Apple TV+'s adaptation of Mick Herron's spy series Slow Horses has been almost universally praised by critics, most acknowledge that the key to the show's success is Gary Oldman's performance as Jackson Lamb. As the foul-mannered and flatulent head of Slough House, Lamb is both thoroughly unpleasant and undeniably charismatic.
Related Slow Horses Season 4: Renewal, Cast, & Everything We Know The hit Apple TV+ series Slow Horses is coming back for an explosive fourth season, and there have already been several exciting updates. Slow Horses Proves How Good Gary Oldman Is At Playing Heroes Although Jackson Lamb can be extremely unpleasant, he is fundamentally a heroic figure – frequently stepping in to save the day, however reluctantly.
Gary Oldman's Had Some Great Hero Roles, Despite Starting Off As A Villain Close There's no doubt that most of Oldman's most recognizable early roles were as villains. However, while these performances helped raise his profile, he's actually had great success playing heroes too.
These performances, combined with his portrayal of Jackson Lamb, prove just how varied Oldman is as a performer. While his most famous villains have become notorious for their almost cartoonish levels of evil, his heroes arguably highlight a greater range as an actor. Sirius Black, for instance, is clearly a very different type of character from Winston Churchill, requiring a completely different approach.
