The Thing With Benedict Cumberbatch

…..is that if you put someone in front of his movies or his TV shows, and making them watch everything back to back to back to back, and you don’t tell them that Benedict Cumberbatch is any of the roles, I can pretty much guarantee that they won’t realize it’s the same actor, And if you show them footage of BC just being….BC, they might not believe you. 

He DISAPPEARS completely into his characters and it is so unsettling sometimes. He’s a chameleon and it’s just astonishing to be his fan sometimes, especially when you’re a filmholic like me and try to think about the craft rather than just the movie. 

No two characters are alike, no two characters have the same manner, no two characters even have the same voice or pronunciation, no two characters even look alike, which is really weird when you think about it! Yes there are hundreds of other actors who do the body transformation thing (Tom Hardy, Christian Bale and Gary Oldman come to mind) but somehow with BC, the change is so profound that you can’t even track it unless you’re really paying attention. 

He inhabits every single molecule of whatever character he’s playing, and he will leave you convinced that he is whatever character he’s playing. Actually, he convinces you that he’s not even playing a character, that he is that person. 

Scroll down and think about the fact that ALL the following are played by the SAME actor– like REALLY think about that. 

And then, the loveliness that is Benedict Cumberbatch himself <3

PS: Making this post, I can’t tell you how many characters I couldn’t remember simply because I didn’t remember that he played them? If that makes sense– like Chrissie!

This list is by no means comprehensive but just a smattering of characters that he’s played. Im currently watching him as Khan (because why not) and can’t believe that it’s Benedict Cumberbatch.
