10 Famous Actors Who Always Seem To Die In Every Movie

3. Gary Oldman

LeonNotable Deaths Include: Sid and Nancy, Prick Up Your Ears, State of Grace, Leon, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Fifth Element, Leon, Air Force One, The Book Of Eli, True Romance, Lost In Space, JFK, Hannibal, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Gary Oldman never really had a chance, did he? Aside from all the bad guys that the actor has spent his career immortalising, he has also taken on a fair few biopics that had to end in tragedy no matter what, assuring his death from the beginning: that's what you get when you play Sid Vicious and Joe Orton, I guess. But Gary has lit up the silver screen with some truly monstrous and brilliantly evil creations over the course of his career. For a while, in fact, he was Hollywood's go to guy for mentally unstable or insanely quirky bad guys. As his career pushed on into the 2000s, the actor made the decision to stop playing such sinister characters, taking on roles in Christopher Nolan's Batman movies and a few Harry Potter flicks. But even his turn in the Potter movies ensured that his performance would end in death (though it was one of his least violent offings). Still, it remains a pleasure to watch him get murdered over and over again. There has to be a better way to say that.
