I was SO wrong about Benedict Cumberbatch.

Having only seen him in a few things, most noteble Sherlock....nice lad, I thought, not very deep tho.

Well....I am eating my words.
Just watched August:Osage County
and he stole the scenes he was in. Completely mastered an American accent, with a drawl,
among other things.
AND did not give an inch in scenes with Streep, Chris Cooper and Julia Roberts.

Good film, btw....nasty set of characters, but marvelous acting.

But I've liked him in everything I've seen. Hawking was amazing, and the television series Fortysomething (Hugh Laurie and Anna Chancellor play the parents of three problem sons) is just a hoot.

Have you seen The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug? His voice work and motion capture are frightening!

Been saving up the Hobitt films to watch them in a sequential binge.
