Oldman pulls out of prequel

from imdb.com
Wild actor Gary Oldman has pulled out of the next Star Wars movie because he refuses to work overseas illegally. The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban star had agreed to be the voice of evil Jedi knight killer General Grievous in Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith, but quit the production because it was made outside the Screen Actor's Guild rules. Oldman's spokesman explains, "Gary was excited and looking forward to working on the film. The snag is that the movie is being made without members of the Screen Actor's Guild. It means Gary would have been working illegally overseas. Out of respect and solidarity with the other members, he could not and would not consider violating the rules of his union."

I don't like Gary Oldman anyway. They can probably find someone better.

I think he is the best actor in the world currently acting.

Then again, he is only doing a voice over, but he does have SUCH a good voice!

I didn't care for his choice of roles during 97-98 and I haven't seen him in anything since then (other than Harry Potter).

I would prefer that they get someone with an unrecognizable voice for the Grievous role.

How about Mark Hamill?

Did anyone recognize his voice when he played the Joker?
