The thing I loved about Jeremy’s Sherlock, was that even though he appeared to be dark and cold, he had empathy toward people who were wronged. There he showed glimmers of humanity and warmth and kindness.
I find Jeremy Brett a very calming presence. He seems tranquil, and of course his voice is always a pleasure to listen to.
Totally agreeee 🌈💗 my dear friend 💜💙
A very handsome voice.
Jeremy's mother was Edith Cadbury Butler, from the famous Cadbury chocolate makers family. His father was Lieutenant Colonel Henry William Huggins, an army officer. He had three older brothers, and the English actor Martin Clunes is Jeremy's nephew.
My father's family was/is named Butler, my son, Jeremy, carries on the name.
JB will always be with us.
He took one of the hardest roles ever written and made it totally his own. No actor could wish for a better epitaph.
RIP legend.
Jeremy is so magnificent a man and actor. I am so sad I discovered him only after he passed. He is sorely missed. Rip, love
Jeremy was the best actor out of england.we Amercians love him so much.
My god... just look at him at 6:55 You can see him change in front of you and he IS Holmes. Unbelievable, what a great actor... such a loss.
Thank you for that! I really feel very lucky & privileged to have seen Jeremy Brett on stage as Sherlock Holmes. He was electrifying! He very kindly signed my poster & programme which I treasure. I believe a few photos were taken, but sadly they didn't come out as the stage door was in a gloomy courtyard! Often one is disappointed when meeting actors in person, but certainly not Jeremy Brett who was really sweet & very modest. I'm sure he would be touched by your dedication like me!
Lucky you👍
I really envy you! Jeremy Brett will always remain my favourite Holmes. To be honest, I did not know that he had also played Holmes on stage. Would you happen to know if there are any recordings of these theater performances?
Jeremy Brett is so synonomous with Sherlock Holmes that it really surprises me to learn how much of Holmes is a character he developed so meticulously. You really can hear the difference of the lightness in Brett's voice and the serious and darker quality of Holmes' voice. Truly, one of the great actors.
Thanks for posting this! There is no doubt in my mind at all that Jeremy Brett is the definitive Sherlock Holmes. I was lucky enough to meet him in person outside the Wyndham's theatre. He was extremely patient, kind & friendly with a charming hint of eccentricity. He is very sadly missed, but the wonderful Granada series is a permanent reminder of what a gifted actor her was. There is no one to touch him as Sherlock Holmes!
This interview has brought me to tears... he wasn't only an excelent actor and the best Sherlock Holmes ever, but a really lovely and sincere person. Everything was perfect about him... requiescat in pace my beloved Jeremy.
I could listen to Jeremy talk for hours.
A wonderful clear voice and brilliant actor.
And good old Terry wogan an intelligent interviewer.
A dignify interview. He deserved much more help and care when he went down. He totally captivated me since the first talk in the "Scandal in Bohemia". I felt like a strike in my soul.
His is the gold standard Holmes.
Jeremy Brett is so fascinating! i could watch and listen to him all day long, i so would have loved just the opportunity to shake his hand. I miss him!!!
Utterly unique;brilliant.I am always going to miss the great Jeremy Brett.Inspirational guy in his professional and personal life.
Delectable. I was about 12 when I first watched Brett...now, nearly 40 I've suddenly discovered him again via ITV3 and seem to fins myself having an incredible crush on this lovely man! SO lovely to hear him speak. Just sad he is no longer with us. ~_~
the way he turns from holmes to watson in a blink of an eye is quite scary it's so good - a fabulous actor no doubt - RIP :(
Yesterday really was a sad day, the anniversary of the loss of a very great man. Good humoured, modest and the rarest of things in this day and age- a true gentleman, as is illustrated in this wonderful interview. Heaven gained a very bright star on the 12th September 1995, it's just such as shame that we had to lose one.
He was fantastic actor... .. God bless the GREAT Jeremy Brett ... The Greatest Sherlock Holmes of all times...
Keşke filmlerinde uyuşturucu enjektörünün gösterilmesi ve yoğun sigara içilmesi reklamlarına kalmasaydı.. O reklamlar toplumu çok kötü etkiledi
In just a split second he became Holmes. God! What a great actor!
Gone from us 24 years today 9/12/19. Rest In Peace Dear Jeremy! So many people still love and miss you. Never Forgotten! 💔😢
He has such a beautiful voice and way of speaking
I would have loved to meet Jeremy such a charismatic chap, love his work and his commanding personality and voice
Wow! What a fantastic interview, love the humanity of the man.👏💕,Actor/ human. 👏
what an amazing man, R.I.P Jeremy
"A triumph" - I just love the story with his father and the boots. I had no idea. I can only wish every father would come around like this when their son or daughter follows their dreams and doesn't automatically follow their parents advice.
Well let me tell you, as one who turned away from the arts (especially acting) and declared to my parents that I was instead going to join the navy and train to be an officer, I can assure you that my parents, as disbelieving as they were at first, came round in just the same way. Only I was going in the opposite direction to Jeremy Brett. I’m still in now, 18 years later. With parents, it’s the concern, do you see? For instance, I have two daughters of my own now and I wish them to succeed above all else, so I suppose that if I had no concept of the field of endeavour that they had chosen, I wouldn’t know whether to be happy or sad that they’d chosen it, until I knew that they could do it and do it well. Doesn’t matter whether it’s being a librarian or a lumberjack really. As long as they succeed and are happy doing so, that’s what parents want. And I suppose that’s why Jeremy Brett’s parents and my own acted as they did. Ultimately, they understood that it was what we wanted, above all else.
I always thought that no one would eclipse Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes. That was until I saw Jeremy play the famous sleuth. I enjoyed him so much, I bought every episode. Whenever I need to escape for an hour, I watch an episode of the wonderful series.
Yes i agreeee 🌈 totally
They're now available on Blu-ray - treat yourself to the high definition experience.
I love Jeremy's voice
Utterly brillient, the BEST ever Sherlock Holmes
I wish it were possible to buy the TV version of 'Rebecca' in which Jeremy Brett played Maxim de Winter. He was wonderful, as in everything else. And yes of course he is the absutely perfect Homes - I saw him on stage in the role as well as on television. Such a great actor.
JB was amazing...his style, voice, intelligence, talent...unmatched!
🆗️
The interviewer is right--the years had been good to him at this point (about 1985? His wife Joan Wilson had died by then, he mentions in the second half). It is shocking to see how badly he declines physically just a few years after this interview, and still while only in his late fifties. HE looks great here, and so charming and gracious.
Brett is an inspiration.
Like usual, I'm late for the party, only recently have I had the privilege of seeing his Holmes character, and it's unique and brilliant.
7:09 That was my favorite part. "Well done! Well done, Holmes!" That made me laugh so hard, especially coming from Jeremy Brett. LOL!
I agree! I am a Brettish fan from the States. His Holmes continues to captivate me. Thanks for YT, for there are many other Jeremy Brett memories that I continually am introduced to. He had a very nice voice. RIP
this guy is sooooo talented, I can't get tiried of watching the Sherlock Holmes over n over just to see his acts: RIP:))
Watching Jeremy during this sad sad Chrismass season (I have to spend without my late best pal) has been my only joy. I plan to bring the entire Granada series and watch the eps on Christmass Eve and Day... in my pal's "Empty House."
Huge success in Sweden for a decade or so. One of the highlights of the week back then. Tremendous actor!
An All Time Great Actor.
Up There with the Greats.
Oh, I agree with you actually. I think they didn't really know how to dose properly for bi-polar in those days, and the smoking took a huge toll for sure. Also, he had neart damage from rheumatic fever when he was a teen--it actually is a wonder he survived as long as he did!
The best Sherlock Holmes ever..my mum actually met him, I was huge fan and totally envious
If any of you have played the recent Sherlock Holmes adventure games series you can tell the creators have definately channeled Brett and Hardwicke as their Holmes and Watson respectively. To be honest I had only watched this series AFTER playing the games (although read the books years ago) and I can see why the developers chose Brett as their Holmes. He is absolutely brilliant and is everything I have ever imagined Holmes to be. If you haven't tried the games I recommend.
He was by far the best Holmes ever.
Oh my goodness, that was so wonderful when he transformed into Holmes~
He was such a great actor! To be able to go from his gregarious self to that [wonderful] isolated creature Holmes is in itself marvelous! :D
That's not even beginning to mention the other things he's done, and the spirit he did them with~
His portrayal of Holmes will never be beat.
Even though I always thought before that Basil Rathbone was the definitive Sherlock, when I saw Brett in the series, I fell in love! Then I saw My Fair Lady and War and Peace again, and there he was when young!!! I was so excited. I wish he could have stayed around and did every one of the Sherlock Holmes stories. RIP, dear Jeremy.
Brilliant actor and the best Sherlock by far...
Jeremy Brett, the man who mastered the roles of both Holmes & Watson.
I could listen to this man all day. His voice is so smooth and comforting. I miss him dreadfully.
He was incredible in that role, a rival to even Rathbone, I think! When I think of Holmes, i think of Mr, Brett. An outstanding actor who brought to life so many of Holme's adventures that I read a schoolboy. Thanks for posting this.
To me Jeremy Brett is Holmes, love him.
When Brett played Holmes, the story (however brilliant) paled into insignificance. You watched to see Brett being Holmes. Rathbone was great, but Brett was the definitive Holmes. Sadly, the role destroyed him.
Loved "...you learned to grit your teeth and think of England." Thanks for the interview. Cheers.
What a star ❤️
LOL I love Jeremy's stiff upper lip voice XD Wonderful man and the Quintessential Holmes.
Very happy this was posted. Thank You.
Nothing more than watching Sherlock Holmes acting by Jeremy Brett made me feel good when I was in dark side of my life.
Loved him as Holmes. The best Holmes for me.
Jeremy Brett was an acting miracle. Before I saw Cumberbatch as Holmes, I quite liked him. After seeing him as Sherlock, I cannot get my head around the hoop de la. He’s not not fit to lick Jeremy Brett’s boots. I’ve tried my best but it’s no good. No one compares to JB.
I know he said not to laugh, but I loled when he said he wanted to be a cowboy.
Its not just to do with the loss of his wife though, but due to the fact that the drugs he took to control his manic depression, slowly destroyed him. He also smoked heavily, with didn't help his condition, and affected his unnaturally large heart. Poor darling...
What does he say about his dad right after "He was a magnificent man"? Wow, near the end of this clip, it's almost a shock when you see him beginning to slip into Holmes, describing him. An incredible thing.
A jewel of a man!
The Best Holme's ever and he seem's like a nice guy too!
As he is to Millions Mate. He made Holmes his own. I haven't bothered seeing the New films cos, as much as I am a fan of Robert Downey Jr, as you say yourself, Brett IS Holmes. I still watch them to this Day.
I was six years old when the series was on TV... And my mom and dad watched it! Happy Easter from Italy :)
Right up there with Olivier in my opinion -- so great that he transcends the role, really. Just like Olivier. Long live him because he was also an absolutely endearing human being. Thanks so much for sharing this one.
He was really Sherlock Holmes
The body of a god and the voice of a full orchestra. Yup.
I keep watching this over and over again, Jeremy is so wonderful. The best Sherlock indeed! thank you jbrettsgirl for posting this interview!
Jeremy Brett will always be Sherlock Holmes for me. Watching him effortlessly portray him is a joy. I was born in '90 and discovered these in my early teens as a Holmes obsessed, old-before-his-time chap and was captivated.
It can be done by others such as Cumberbatch (who really surprised me by being excellent) but Jeremy Brett simply cannot be bettered. It's an example of a perfect performance until he was unfortunately unwell and went a bit OTT.
This man is my idol. I act like him, I have the same intensity as him in everything I do.
oh, exactly the same story for me! One of my first crushes, still will always be THE Holmes for me.
The moment he "wears" Holmes, it looks so immediately different!
Brett is the soul of Holmes.
I agree, Jeremy Brett was/is Sherlock Holmes & always will be Sherlock Holmes 🌹💖
What a wonderful interview! The man born to play Holmes, talking to the man born to interview. Can't wait for part deux!! Thanks so much for posting, subscribing now :-)
I wish he'd done all the Doyle stories & I wish he could have had a happier ending in his personal life. He & Clive Merrison are my definitive Sherlocks.
Que hombre tan dulce...🌹
consider all of the moder "stars"-this age is sorely lacking an actor of such class, manners, eloquence, and intelligence. consider this, charlie sheen is the highest paid actor on tv-oh, how far we have fallen.
Jeremy Brett is forever the one and only Holmes for me. I followed the Holmes series from the beginning and some of the episodes are even better than the original stories. (I've read all of them)
@lizmil It is sad that two of the greatest Holmes suffered badly after loosing their wives; Cushing and Brett. It is so sad that these great actors, and according to almost everyone nice people, had to go through so much.
He is the best Sherlock Holmes to date.
Around 6:53 he goes slightly into character. It's as if he became Sherlock Holmes for a moment so he could verbally express exactly what Sherlock Holmes is.
I just discovered Jeremy and Holmes around the new year. Watched every night before bed. Now I'm having to rewatch episodes. I watch other Jeremy Brett TV but none are like Granada series.
JB is one of the best actors in history!
the great sherlock holmes ever
Smoking made his death inevitable . Such a lovely actor . I woudl like to see him as Frankenstein or Dracula. Wonderful Holmes .
Et Don Juan ! Je ne parle pas seulement du séducteur mais de la figure complexe qui a inspiré tant d'écrivains, de dramaturges et de grands musiciens, de Molière à G-B Shaw, de Mozart à Tchaïkovski, et d'autres jusqu'à notre siècle.
Je suis SÛRE que Jeremy, fort de sa formation d'acteur britannique, et doué de l'intelligence, de la finesse qu'on appréciait tant chez lui et même de la drôlerie dont il était capable, aurait tiré le meilleur d'un tel sujet / personnage !
this guy is holmes, rip jeremy , 4 ever watching holmes xx
@TheyreAllAmazing
completely agree with you on that point! and i think we can be quite certain about the thing with gary bond, since his first wife was the one who "outed" him by telling about it in her book, and i don't think she did that to hurt his memory, since they stayed friends after breaking up.
but again, as you said, someones sexuality shouldn't matter to any of us, in fact it's not our damn business or right to judge anyone at all
Jeremy Brett a great man
He would've made a lovely cowboy. *sigh*
legend
AMAZING
Such a treat to watch him! yum, yum, yum, yum, and yum! ;-)
Una alegría enorme fue haber conocido recientemente "Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes" por RUclips, ya que estoy terminando de leer los cuatro tomos de la gran novela de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Jeremy Brett es fantástico en su rol de Holmes. Le queda perfecto el personaje. :)
Gracias por subir estos videos.
I have such a crush on him ❤️
This is awesome. I love the Grenada series.
