(CBS News) Gary Oldman feels very strongly about professional athletes who think they can crossover into acting as easily as they can perform on a basketball court.

The Oscar nominee apparently has such strong feelings about it that he made a PSA for a group called Actors Against Athletes Acting that aired on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

The "Tinker Tailor Solider Spy" actor keeps it together in the clip, until his rage takes over. When he finishes yelling he calmly looks at the camera and says, "See how I did that? That is called acting. You feel the emotion? I can do that. You can't."

This video is hilarious. I can't believe I am only just seeing it now...Also had no idea Gary Oldman is British! Just read an article about athletes who act.....I get it, the point is THEY CANT. But who didn't love MJ in Space Jam? There are other good ones on this list, too: http://www.web2carz.com/trends/offline/1528/athletes-who-act
