Which Actors Would Make A Good Sherlock?

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Well I reckon Christopher Lee, especially in his  younger day, would have made a great Sherlock Holmes!  He was such a good actor, with such wonderful poise, and a wonderful voice.

And he did  play Sherlock Holmes, more then once. He also played Mycroft Holmes in "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.

[Douglas]

Ah, thank you for enlightening me on that! I didn't know that.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

That's half the fun of having this obsession and being on this Forum. One is able to share any and all information they have on this one particular subject.

[Douglas]

Yes, tha's right! And I must say that this is an excellent Forum in general; probably the best Forum I've ever been on! And I've been on quite a few!

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Carol and Undead Medic deserve a whole lot of credit for helping creat it. Plus all the excellent posters.

[Undead Medic]

Banshee and I created the forum, and we noticed what a great contributor Carol was, so we offered her the job as a mod.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Kudos to Banshee as well then. You all have done a wonderful job. Thank you for believing that if you built it, we would come.

[Caya]

Seconded. This is such a warm, welcoming, yet interesting place. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful little corner of the www.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hey, we try.  But we wouldn't get much of anywhere without you all!  So lots of thanks to everyone!

 

Back to Christopher Lee as Mycroft -- he was wonderful, I thought, though he looks even less like the canon Mycroft that Mark Gatiss does.  He sure had the supercilious attitude down pat!

I've had some unexpected things to deal with the past few days, so I've been rushing through reading and responding to forum posts.  But I mentally replayed this thread today, and realized that we'd somehow neglected to mention the contributions of aely, who was the only moderator before I was shanghaied into it asked to join the staff.  She hasn't been on the forum as much as usual lately, due to other commitments, but she has certainly helped to shape the forum as it is today.  Hopefully those other commitments will ease up soon, and we'll have our aely back!

 

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Hats off to aely too! Wouldn't want to leave her out for sure.

[Undead Medic]

Hats off to every member of this forum, for making it the success it has become. We couldn't do it without you!

All of our staff have been great, and each and every contributor has provided something truly special, for which we are very thankful.

 

Here's to a bright future!

What he said!  ^ 

 

And if we're in celebratory mood...

How about Shaun Evans who plays a young 'Morse' in the tv series?

I think that Karl Urban could make a good Sherlock, he has the right features and a great English accent (Just watch LOTR to find out)

 

 

 

[cumberholmes]

Zachary Quinto. Having seen him as Spock, I'm sure he'd make a great Sherlock...

yes, I love Zachary as Spock and Sylar. Alan Rickman for a victorian Sherlock... I like it. But after seeing Benedict do this... I think he is uniquely capable to carry out the character, just like Martin with as Watson.

[soopy452000]

Benedict all the way!

[Ruthyone]

I think in this modern era of 'modern' Sherlocks - Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Downey Jr seem great but Mr Cumberbatch is the best! (in my humble opinion)

 

 

 

[IreneAdler]

Isn't Hugh Laurie already doing Sherlock? And doing him extremely well.

Spot on!

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

A Sherlock Holmes inspired character any way, last name House. A play on the word Holmes?  Yeah, could be.

[Sophronia]

Alan Rickman or Tom Hiddleston,but Benedict Cumberbatch is the best Sherlock

[Ruthyone]

Here's how Alan Rickman would look as 'Sherlock Holmes'

 

[cellisis]

cannot think of anyone else but Benedict Cumberbatch.

[Ruthyone]

                                                                                 Sherlock v Sherlock

Alan Rickman! Hahaha Yes! I could definitely see that, especially for a Victorian Sherlock.
