Gary Oldman isn't done apologizing. The British actor defended Mel Gibson and Alec Baldwin in Playboy and was labeled an anti-Semitic racist. Oldman apologized in a heartfelt letter but the ADL said it was insufficient. This apparently shook the former Dracula up.

On Wednesday, June 26, Gary Oldman appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to again apologize for making anti-Semitic remarks in an interview with Playboy magazine.

"I'm a public figure. I should be an example and an inspiration, and I'm an A-hole. I'm 56. I should know better," Oldman said.

Gary Oldman told Playboy that he thinks political correctness is going too far in Hollywood. The actor who played Sid Vicious in the biopic "Sid and Nancy" also defended Alec Baldwin, who reportedly made heated anti-sematic comments.

Oldman was scheduled to appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" before the controversy made headlines. The actor is on a promotional tour for "Dawn of Planet of the Apes," which opens next month.

Oldman told Kimmel that he was shocked at the controversy but understood why so many people were offended.

"I said some things that were poorly considered," Oldman said. "Once I had seen it in print I could see that it was offensive ... insensitive ... pernicious ... and ill informed. Words have meaning, they carry weight long after you've said them, and I don't condone or excuse the words I used in any context. i just basically shouldn't have used them in any context. I have deeply injured and wounded great many people."

Kimmel thanked Oldman for not canceling his appearance because of the firestorm but Oldman explained "This gives me the opportunity to say to those people (who were offended) from the my heart I am profoundly, profoundly sorry and deeply apologetic."

Oldman said he was out of his depth when answering the Playboy interview questions.

"I stepped out of my area of expertise and I just landed both feet in a hornet's nest," Oldman said.

Kimmel has also been accused of being insensitive and told Oldman: "I'm so happy someone has to apologize on this show and it's not me for once."

Goldman said that Mel Gibson's infamous anti-Semitic rant from 2006 was made worse because Gibson works "in a town that is run by Jews." Gibson disparaged Jews after he was arrested for drunk driving.

In the interview, Oldman told Playboy, "just think political correctness is crap. That's what I think about it. I think it's like, take a f-king joke. ... No one can take a joke anymore. I don't know about Mel. He got drunk and said a few things, but we've all said those things. We're all fucking hypocrites. That's what I think about it. The policeman who arrested him has never used the word n-- or that f-king Jew? I'm being brutally honest here. It's the hypocrisy of it that drives me crazy. Or maybe I should strike that and say 'the N word' and 'the F word,' though there are two F words now."

After the controversy spilled into the headlines Oldman issued an apology in an open letter to the Anti-Defamation League saying "I am deeply remorseful that comments I recently made in the Playboy Interview were offensive to many Jewish people. Upon reading my comments in print - I see how insensitive they may be, and how they may indeed contribute to the furtherance of a false stereotype."

The Anti-Defamation League did not find the apology sufficient. Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the ADL, said "We have just begun a conversation with his managing producer. At this point, we are not satisfied with what we have received. His apology is insufficient and not satisfactory."

The full apology from Gary Oldman reads:

Dear Gentlemen of the ADL:

I am deeply remorseful that comments I recently made in the Playboy Interview were offensive to many Jewish people. Upon reading my comments in print-I see how insensitive they may be, and how they may indeed contribute to the furtherance of a false stereotype. Anything that contributes to this stereotype is unacceptable, including my own words on the matter. If, during the interview, I had been asked to elaborate on this point I would have pointed out that I had just finished reading Neal Gabler's superb book about the Jews and Hollywood, An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews invented Hollywood. The fact is that our business, and my own career specifically, owes an enormous debt to that contribution.

I hope you will know that this apology is heartfelt, genuine, and that I have an enormous personal affinity for the Jewish people in general, and those specifically in my life. The Jewish People, persecuted thorough the ages, are the first to hear God's voice, and surely are the chosen people.

I would like to sign off with "Shalom Aleichem"-but under the circumstances, perhaps today I lose the right to use that phrase, so I will wish you all peace-Gary Oldman.
