You are vastly minimizing Robin's roles.

I'm not saying Gary wasn't great, just asking you to look at another spectacular talent.

Oldman’s portrayal of the Jackson Lamb character is no less than brilliant and S5 filming has already wrapped. Can’t wait to watch!

He is compelling in every film I have seen him in, regardless of his role. He is one of the greats.
