Benedict Cumberbatch, the star of stage, television, and film, has been featured in several star-making roles on British television, most notably, the series Sherlock, for which he won the Emmy Award as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie. He is best known on this side of the pond as Dr. Strange, featuring appearances in a host of superhero films set in the very popular Marvel cinematic universe, as well as his Academy Award-nominated turn as Alan Turing in the acclaimed The Imitation Game. Akin to his numerous roles, Cumberbatch is a somewhat mysterious character himself, thoughtful, speaking in measured statements, this is not a man prone to hyperbole.
