Slow Horses’ Chris Chung Is Obsessed With Everything Gary Oldman Does On Camera, But Shares One Moment He Improvised That Helped Define His Character

October 1, 2025 - Movies

Christopher Chung, who plays Roddy Ho in Slow Horses, is a team player. Season 5 of the Apple TV+ show is just getting started as part of the 2025 TV schedule, and Ho is already key to the plot of the new season. Chung has been part of the Slough House team since the show debuted, and in a recent interview, I asked him about working with Sir Gary Oldman. It turns out it was a moment after he thought the cameras had stopped that made him truly understand his character, which in turn produced one of Ho’s best lines.

Gary Oldman Keeps Everyone On Their Toes

If you’re a fan of Slow Horses, you know just how funny Jackson Lamb (Oldman) can be. His stinging insults to his subordinates, his flatulence and general disregard for social norms have made Lamb one of the best roles in Oldman’s stellar career. The other actors of the show must deal with this by not cracking up, a task many would find impossible. Chung, who has also been part of another iconic franchise, Doctor Who, admits that it’s a point of pride not to breakL

It’s kind of like a standoff as actors: who’s going to break first? And obviously, Sir Gary is Gary Oldman, so you don’t want to ever [breakl]. Sometimes his acting is so good, I don’t know if we’ve stopped the take or not. So I just kind of keep playing as if we were continuing the scene.
