Gary Oldman On The Joys Of Playing “Flatulent Slob” Jackson Lamb In Apple TV+ Spy Drama ‘Slow Horses’

EXCLUSIVE: Gary Oldman has found “great joy” in playing the Falstaffian, flatulent-sharing, British espionage operative Jackson Lamb in Apple TV+’s Slow Horses, which has just launched season two. Meanwhile, the Harry Potter star confirmed he will play Harry Truman in one scene in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Lank-haired Lamb plays the operative in charge of a host of lost causes exiled out of harms way to Slough House where they wind up defending the realm from harm.

Season two is based on Herron’s second Lamb story Dead Lions, which finds Lamb and his motley crew investigating the curious death Dickie Bow, played by Phil Davis (Vera Drake, Trying).
Oldman believes that a comparison can be made to John le Carré’s George Smiley and the 64 year-old played the wily Smiley in director Tomas Alfredson’s Oscar-nominated Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which was based on le Carré’s 1974 book of the same name.
“It’s that ruthlessness and it’s also perspicacious,” he adds. “You are always three or four chess moves ahead of the opponent. He has that sort of mind but outwardly his cover is being a sarcastic, bitter, flatulent slob. But I love the fact that he’s publicly offensive and that’s the great joy of

‘Return To Seoul’ Review: A Delicate, Penetrating Character Study
Davy Chou’s “Return to Seoul” is a fast one for the books, a film that (contrary to so much of contemporary cinema) delivers exponentially more than it promises. It begins as a modest, observational slice-of-life drama and slowly transforms into a movie about the lies we tell ourselves — about who we are, what we feel, and what we need.
