Which of these actors plays Sherlock Holmes on the BBC show "Sherlock"?

I find Cumbberbatch to be be a scintillating actor!

Amazing doctor and funny dude at that.

I don’t recall Cumberbatch as Hawking . I think the definitive Hawking has to be Eddie Redmaynein “The Theory of Everything “

Jeremy Brett was the most accurate depiction.

agree with Ran Jeremy Brett for me although I was brought up on Basil Rathbone

The modern take on Holmes was really good, and nice to be away from the poverty of the era in which it was first set.

Dee1, Beautiful name. I've never seen it before.

aqualung, Brett was my TV favorite and I also love the old Rathbone/Nigel Bruce films. I think several of both are available on YouTube. IIRC, most of the Rathbone films were set in WWII, but with the blackouts the foggy London streets could have been from the original era. The same was true for the lonely moors and countryside.

my sister Aisling loves him

Ran, I have to agree. Whenever I think of the original character, Jerry Brett still comes to mind

Jeremy Brett was the most authentic Holmes.
