Oh Benny Batch, such an intriguing guy. I have to say he’s by far my favorite Sherlock.
I have never watched Sherlock, but I can imagine him being good in that role…
Love him in “Sherlock” and thought he was really good in “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy”
Yeah, he was good in Tinker…although I did not enjoy the movie itself.
LOVE this guy, what a gent too. He’s got such keen intellect that makes him sexier as his looks is rather unconventional. Perfect timing here Nostra as I had just reviewed his role as Julian Assange.
Interested in that movie about Assange. Have seen a couple of interviews with him and he comes across as a cool dude.
Shit, I don’t know. I really liked him in Starter for 10 where he was pretty damn funny. I love his impressions.
Have not heard of that before making this overview. Have heard him do one impression and he was pretty good š
