This, That & All The Other

ETOnline: Your chemistry with Martin Freeman (who plays Watson) is electric. Was that connection instantaneous?

“He stepped into the audition room after a few other actors and he just elevated my game. He’s the one I wanted to play with. I knew he’d bring a level of reality and integrity and detailed performance to the character that meant I could do as little as possible to become as eccentric as possible. I could raise one eyebrow and seem like I was from another century. He gives me something for nothing in that regard.” ~Benedict Cumberbatch

You just keep playing…
