This British actor is famous for his title role on the BBC TV series “Sherlock”. He has also appeared in Hollywood films such as “Star Trek: Into the Darkness” and “The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug”. He has won several stage and screen acting awards and received both Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for his role in the famous 2014 Alan Turing biographical [,baiə'græfıkəl] film “The Imitation Game” in which he co-stars with Keira Knightley.

He was born with theatre in his blood as both his parents were well-known television actors. However, they tried to stop him from taking up acting as a career and sent him to Harrow public school, where he was awarded an arts scholarship (money for education). At Harrow, he got interested in rugby and painting, but it was theatre that captured his imagination. That is why after his graduation, he decided to spend a year at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

The actor made his stage debut playing a “very bossy” Joseph in a Christmas play at primary school. He began his career with roles in classic plays and small television shows. In 2004 he played the title role of a young Stephen Hawking in the British drama “Hawking”. It is a remarkable story of the outstanding scientist who was coping with the early stages of a life-threatening illness. This actor’s performance earned him a BAFTA nomination. In 2010 the BBC broadcast a modern adaptation of the story of Sherlock Holmes, which became really popular and earned this actor, who plays Sherlock, international fame.

In the 2012 film “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”, he voiced the Necromancer, and the dragon, Smaug, and the Grinch in the animated film “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. He also played the villain in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” sequel, “Star Trek: Into the Darkness”. In 2016 he starred in the title role of the Marvel film “Dr. Strange” and in the blockbuster hit “Avengers: Infinity War” in 2018. By the way, this Oscar nominated actor performed most of the dangerous stunts in these films himself.
