              	<p>Scott Simon of <span class="caps">NPR</span> spoke to Gary Oldman about Hamlet, meeting John le Carré, and George Smiley&#8217;s affect on his blood pressure:</p>

	<p>&#8216;The character of George Smiley is an iconic one — longtime spy, mild, podgy, middle-aged. He blends into the fog and the old gray streets of London. [&#8230;]</p>

	<p>Gary Oldman says the offer to play Smiley came in over the transom, unsolicited — but he didn&#8217;t necessarily jump at the chance.</p>

	<p>&#8220;I did not say yes immediately, because the ghost of Guinness loomed. [&#8230; ]He was a phenomenal actor, part of the establishment, very much beloved — and was the face of Smiley.&#8221;</p>

	<p>But the opportunity was ultimately just too good to pass up.</p>

	<p>&#8220;I think I played a sort of trick with my mind, and thought, &#8216;Well, look, treat it as a classical part,&#8217;&#8221; Oldman says. &#8220;There&#8217;ve been many Hamlets, many Romeos, many King Lears. &#8230; You are constantly walking in the shadow of all the people that played the part before you.&#8221; [&#8230;]</p>

	<p>Smiley carries ghosts with him as he searches for the MI6 mole, Oldman notes: He&#8217;s haunted in a personal way by the betrayal of a friend, by an unfaithful wife, professionally by the specter of a Soviet spy he&#8217;s never able to reel in.</p>

	<p>&#8220;It must have been a very strange world to live in,&#8221; Oldman says. &#8220;In law enforcement, you&#8217;ll chase a bad guy, capture him. He&#8217;ll go through the process and go to prison. There&#8217;s a consequence.&#8221;</p>

	<p>Spies, on the other hand, often have to &#8220;turn&#8221; their targets, once they run them to ground. &#8220;He may have killed people, but you want him on your side.&#8221;</p>

	<p>The actor talked to his character&#8217;s creator — himself a former spy who put in time at both MI5 and MI6 — to &#8220;find out a little more of what George was like actually in the trenches.&#8221;</p>

	<p>&#8220;From his own experience, he described the level of paranoia, where you would always wait for the footsteps on the stairs, [signaling] that your cover was blown,&#8221; Oldman says. &#8220;It would take years off you.&#8221;</p>

	<p>Tinker, Tailor director Tomas Alfredson, a Scandinavian, brought an outsider&#8217;s sensibility to what Oldman says is a &#8220;quintessentially British&#8221; story.</p>

	<p>&#8220;It could have been more nostalgic,&#8221; the actor says. &#8220;But he wanted to make this movie about these lonely, fractured people, these casualties of this life that they&#8217;ve chosen, or has chosen them.&#8221;</p>

	<p>He misses George Smiley already.</p>

	<p>&#8220;He was good for my blood pressure,&#8221; Oldman says. &#8220;It&#8217;s always nice to be the smartest man in the room. I don&#8217;t often get to play that.&#8221;</p>

	<p>He may have another chance.</p>

	<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s whispers we may do Smiley&#8217;s People,&#8221; he confides&#8217;.</p>
