My best friend's younger brother was an extra in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He had to sit on a staircase, and Benedict walked right past him. I was watching the DVD with my friend and said brother, and he said, "I had to wait around for ages while we did all these takes of that same scene." I think the entire time I was internally chanting, "you don't know how lucky you are."
Sigh...I saw him in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", and thought he was cool. I saw him in "Sherlock" and fell in love with him. I saw him in "Hawking" and my respect for his ability as an actor grew exponentially. I started reading interviews and watching him on talk shows, and I was done for. Hey, I love Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, but I wouldn't necessarily want to have coffee with them. But I could talk to Ben for hours. What a great guy. Is there a support group for Cumberbitches?
No, he played the Creature/Monster that Dr. Frankenstein made. Frankenstein is the creator, not the monster. I saw the theater of when he played the Creature, and he was not full naked on stage. He wore underwear shorts.
Emy F. Have you seen both shows live and at city showings? My friend and I have seen both shows. Yes he does play both roles, but not at same time. He and another actor Jonny Lee Miller are both starring roles and alternate each show. Jonny will play Frankenstein and Benedict will play the Creature, and vice versa each show. But they both are not fully naked on stage, they wear sheer clothing.
I know they don't play both roles at the same time... o.o'' A friend of mine saw it and benedict was naked, so.. I don't really know what to say to you. x *****
Emy F. Yes he was, but not full; he had sheer clothing on for bottom half. My friend and I saw it as well, and my friend saw the live version in London when he performed too.
I would be chaffed if I had even the possibility be able to choose between Doctor Who or Sherlock Holmes to play. Oh, well, I didn't choose Doctor Who after all. Lucky man to be able even to have this possibility.
They have a full sized (Ken sized) version of Mr. Cumberbatch as Sherlock now! Anyway, #LoyalSherlockianfromCalifornia Loved Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy!
The funny thing is that "CumberBaddie" is now a term used by his fans all over the world in relation to Star Trek. My favourite ideas for the name of his fans are probably "CumberCookies" that form the "CumberBatch" and his own idea, the "CumberCollective" :)
I know right! At the beginning, I had the willpower to only watch 10 minutes at a time. Then, I found out what happened at the end of Episode 6......:-)
Why? Would would you put the picture of Benedict covered in goo, in my mind? Why would you put the picture of Benedict covered in goo and naked, in my mind? WHY would you put the picture of Benedict covered in goo, naked, and TOUCHING HIMSELF, in my mind!?!? *sigh* Brb, gotta find out what the hell happened to my pants.
Let's throw gasoline on the fire:P Traditional Sherlock Holmes? Really? Just to clarify, I LOVE Benedict, but Sherlock Holmes is not a sociopath in the books...amongst other things...
His voice is like music to ears.
he is a lovely man and Benedict is beautiful name! He has an angular handsomeness and he is one of the best talents of the stage and screen!
He seems like such a lovely person. :)
J: You were touching yourself
B: WHHHAAAATTTT?!?!?!! NOOOO
xDDD
I have followed his carrier since day one and I always will...best actor like ever duh ha!x
Amazing voice!!!! He should do an audiobook...I would listen to that every night before sleep :-)
His voice ! *__* AAAAAAHHH ! I love him
This was a great interview. Benedict is the best. :)
Que charme!!Finalmente um Sherlock muito lindo!!
I just loved listening to the loud static at the end. Totally necessary.
This man makes my heartstrings quiver.
I love him... (crying) :( ♡♥♡
0:44 I will never get tired of him refusing to say that/getting offended when other people say it. Benedict, you are perfect
Ben totally nailed all those impressions. He's so quick on the mark too, that was totes amazing. :)
his voice
i wish frankenstein was available on DVD. ben naked.
OH MA GAAAAHHHWWWD KILL ME
YUUUUUUS I WISH I WAS THERE SSOOOOO BADLY I WANNA SEE IT!!!
"A room full of Cumberbitches over here." LOL
He knows how to say cumberbitch not cumberbatch. Lol

wooo! SHERLOCK! can't wait for season three!
This interview is fantastic.

i also first saw him in Tinker Tailor. Then got attracted to him in Sherlock. Then "The Imitation Game" comes along :)
this is beautiful
Benedict: I was... stretching.....my arms.
Jonathan: You were touching yourself.
Benedict: What!?
bloody shame he didnt take the doctor who job after tennant i might of actually continued to watch it lol he wuda bin awesome
Yeah, who would have played Sherlock then? Matt Smith? LOL
But agree, Benedict would have been a great Doctor Who.
Lol I'm sure he cuda dun both sumhow
Am I the only one who thinks he sounded just like David Tennant when he quoted him?
Yeah it wasa gr8 impression
I want your aviii
It's so amazing that it has 6 syllables.
I love u so much!!!
He's naked when he plays Frankenstein?? Omg! Someone has to film that. Not creepy at all.
No, he played the Creature/Monster that Dr. Frankenstein made. Frankenstein is the creator, not the monster.
I saw the theater of when he played the Creature, and he was not full naked on stage. He wore underwear shorts.

It's not. Forget it. ugh. *****
I think the perfect name for us, Benedict's fandom, is individually Cumbercookies - collectively Cumberbatch :)
I just want to sit with him and discuss books and music.
Me too Monica Sharma
Wow, Sherlock and Holmes on the same stage? That must have been trippy :S
So handsomeeeee
His full name is Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. Best name ever.
And one of the most true lines that has ever been spoken!
i present to you the perfect human being
The Alan Rickman was perfect !
Why does everyone have a problem with his name? It's not hard to say. It's quite nice, actually.
And with Tom Hiddleston! He's friends with four of my favorite men! (I love Martin Freeman).
waited for him to say "it's not my hat!"...
He sounded just like Jonathan! :o
I would be chaffed if I had even the possibility be able to choose between Doctor Who or Sherlock Holmes to play. Oh, well, I didn't choose Doctor Who after all.
Lucky man to be able even to have this possibility.
I believe they have those now.
I swear if you look up the word 'perfect' in the dictionary, it will show you an image of Benedict.
and Hiddleston too!!
9:31 That was amazing!!! i could not hear the difference between Alan Rickman and him!!
He was here?? And I didn't know! Aaaah
Manasvi Singh I know right. I'm Indian and surprised
2:40 Will Ferrel?
.....I'm reading all the comments in a Bitish accent because it seems like im the only American here. And I'm not even that American. More Chinese. XD

The interactive transcript is so funny
Any true Sherlock Holmes fan knows that the cap and the pipe and the lenses are not part of the character's usual dressing.
Marry me Benedict.
Frankestein was BRILLIANT!
Love you ben ! :)
I want Bennedict to be the Master... Bennedict vs Matt.
God, the acting talent present on stage.
Holy crap, I've just been cumberbatched.
We have the deer stalker hat!
You didn't listen, did you? He never turned the role down. He wasn't offered it in the first place.
I wish Ross would just let Benedict TALK! He keeps interrupting him . . .
I am a BenAddict #BenAddict
Jonathan: i would've liked to see him as the creature, didnt get the Chance to that
Benedict:... (looked like as he was thinking: fuck you) xD
interviewer: "i would've liked to have seen him has the creature"
benedict: ">.> ... bitch."
Yeah, he looked so sad. :(
Omg...who is that brunette with the red skirt & white top ?
I know right! At the beginning, I had the willpower to only watch 10 minutes at a time. Then, I found out what happened at the end of Episode 6......:-)
Am I right that Ben said he wasn't offered Doctor Who? I don't understand it that much.
07:46 that was like soo cute xDD
I don't think I'd be able to cope if all three of them were in the same room.
He's friends with Tennant and Smith. *__* All my dreams just came true.
he should have got benedict to wear the hat
He wasn't offered it, but he didn't ever want to do it anyway.
Or one of the most terrifying
FREEDOM
Every Talk show with Benedict in it: "Cumberbitches!!!"
No. Flipping. Way. *o* Awesome! :D
whats funny is he DOES end up wearing the hat in the show xD
HIS AMERICAN ACCENT THOUGH
2:35 Eeeeveryone will come to our side... XD
Oh, this interview is just hilarious. :D
3:27 :DD
Proud to be a cumberbitch!
Doesn't matter - he's still saying he would if he was.
i want a sherlock action figure!
Why?
Would would you put the picture of Benedict covered in goo, in my mind?
Why would you put the picture of Benedict covered in goo and naked, in my mind?
WHY would you put the picture of Benedict covered in goo, naked, and TOUCHING HIMSELF, in my mind!?!?
*sigh*
Brb, gotta find out what the hell happened to my pants.
"Yeah, but they're 9 1/2 hours. You can spread them out. You can ration them." ...no -_-
If Jonathan were to say "ranking"...
Just stereotypes us Brits a fair bit great actor don't get me wrong but his name is very old and upper class.
I... I also can't pronounce my "r's", it's a embarrassing impairment that I have to live with :-(
how do you say words with R? :( do you know how to learn it? :) hope you have learnt it already :)
WE DO NEED SHERLOCK TOYS!!!!!!!!! I mean... Action figures
he's so sassy.
Wait... you're joking about all of this, right?
Right?!
7:47 what??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
he's far too intelligent for Jonathon Ross...
Toys of Irene Adler. Lets just think about that...
They were avoiding political topics.
Let's throw gasoline on the fire:P Traditional Sherlock Holmes? Really? Just to clarify, I LOVE Benedict, but Sherlock Holmes is not a sociopath in the books...amongst other things...
and a john watson one so we can make them kiss ^-^
new benedict fans can be "cumberbabies" or no....
İ don't think you really understood mrs maggie because she defends the women and feminism
No offense, he's a great actor, but his name does sound like cucumber patch!
