Here, Murphy describes inhabiting the man behind the atom bomb and why he always delights in working with Nolan.

The Happy Sad Confused podcast is the end-of-year gift that keeps on giving this week. This week, the podcast’s guest was Academy Award winner Gary Oldman (“The Darkest Hour”).

As recently covered in a conversation about “Batman Begins,” Academy Award winner Gary Oldman (“The Darkest Hour”) was recently on the Happy Sad Confused at 92 Street Y In New York. In the selection we covered, Oldman revealed that he was up for a villain role in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman’ movie but was sick of playing villains, and through his agent, they suggested Commissioner Jim Gordon instead, one of Batman’s most trusted allies.

Harry Potter film franchise was not up to his own standards. Oldman played Harry’s godfather Sirius Black across four of the films, starting with 2004’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and winding up with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2007. But now, in an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he has said that he is not especially proud of his contribution to the films.
