Gary Oldman has taken on several biography projects like punk rocker Sid Vicious, playwright Joe Orton and the most famous assasin in history Lee Harvey Oswald. Now the big boys are chasing him down to bring comic actor Peter Sellers back to life.

Sellers, who died in 1980, was known as one of the best. His name may not be recognizable, but it is inevitable you've seen at least one of his 75-plus movies. As Inspector Clouseau, he was always trying to get the best of The Pink Panther. Sellers not only made people laugh with his own characters, but could mimic anyone he dared to try.

Gary is taking the offer into serious consideration, because he thinks Peter Sellers is "one of the greats."
