Gary says his work as Sirius Black is mediocre

In a recent conversation with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, actor Gary Oldman openly acknowledged his own critical view of his performance as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter franchise. Oldman reflected on the possibility of altering his approach, admitting that if he had read J.K. Rowling's original books more thoroughly like his co-star Alan Rickman, he might have approached the character differently. He also emphasized the importance of not becoming complacent and constantly striving to improve. Despite his extensive filmography, Oldman hinted at the possibility of retirement after his series concludes.
