In Mank, Gary Oldman plays the role of Herman J. Mankiewicz, famed Hollywood screenwriter who had a big role to play in the creation of the iconic movie Citizen Kane.
Over a four-decades-plus career, Gary Oldman has played a breathtaking variety of characters, from Count Dracula to Sid Vicious, to Winston Churchill.
Directed by David Fincher, Mank features a lead cast consisting of Gary Oldman, Tom Burke, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Tuppence Middleton, Arliss Howard, and Charles Dance.
Yet, in a new interview with USA Today, Oldman stated that he has never played a more difficult role than the lead in David Fincher’s new movie Mank.
