A tyrant (Greek ÏÏÏαννοÏ, tyrannos), in its modern English usage, is a ruler of a horrible and oppressive character who is an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or constitution, and/or one who has usurped legitimate sovereignty. A tyrant usually controls almost everything. The original Greek term, however, merely meant an authoritarian sovereign without reference to character, bearing no pejorative connotation during the Archaic and early Classical periods, though it was clearly a bad word to Plato, and on account of the decisive influence of political philosophy its negative connotations only increased down into the Hellenistic period.

Gary Leonard Oldman (born 21 March 1958) is an English screen and stage actor, filmmaker and musician. He rose to prominence in Britain after playing Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy (1986), and Joe Orton in Prick Up Your Ears (1987), for which he received a BAFTA Award for Best Actor nomination; those performances led pre-eminent film critic Roger Ebert to describe Oldman as “the best young British actor around”. Following an acclaimed turn as a football firm leader The Firm (1989), he gained international renown as Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK (1991) and Count Dracula in Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), winning the Saturn Award for Best Actor for the latter. Oldman went on to play the antagonist of motion pictures such as True Romance (1993), Léon: The Professional (1994), The Fifth Element (1997), Air Force One (1997), and The Contender (2000), for which he garnered Independent Spirit- and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
