Lovely news! Time Out magazine named Benedict as one of the 50 Great British actors! Here’s what they said about him:
There are few actors who can communicate genius-level abstraction with as much believability as Benedict Cumberbatch. The Londoner has IQ-ed up everything from the BBC’s ‘Sherlock’ and ‘The Current War’ to ‘The Imitiation Game’ and ‘Doctor Strange’. But his range extends far beyond playing brainboxes, as his visceral turn in Jane Campion’s ‘The Power of the Dog’ amply demonstrates. He’s magnetic as the dissolute ‘Patrick Melrose’ in Showtime’s limited series, too. Like Sherlock himself, there’s not much he can’t wrap his head around.
Years active: 2002 to now
Key films: ‘The Imitation Game’, ‘Doctor Strange’, ‘The Power of the Dog’,
We can’t say we disagree, now, can we?!!
