The Oscar winner plays a brilliant, and flatulent, spymaster on Apple TV+’s new espionage show.
A couple of things worth knowing about Jackson Lamb: he is brilliant, but also slovenly and flatulent.
In fact, Oldman’s character delights in appalling those around him by loudly breaking wind.

So what is the secret of great fart acting?
“Well, you need an audience.
You know, you’ve got to have someone who can react,” Oldman says with a laugh.

“It’s a company thing, yeah.
But what is it?
“This has become very confusing,” Oldman says.
“We haven’t shot season 2.
Season 1 is twelve episodes.
We’ve shot two books, which is season 1.
So there is another six episodes ofDead Lionsto come.
There’s eight books in the series.
Since we’ve shot this, Mick may have gone off and written another two.
I mean, he’s prolific with this stuff.”
So would Oldman be happy returning to Jackson Lamb’s dingy office for more adventures?
The books are fantastic, and I’d like to revisit Jackson, yeah.”
Slow Horsescostars Jack Lowden,Kristin Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce, and Olivia Cooke, among others.
