Even if you are a big fan of movies and never miss any new films, you are likely to associate the name Benedict Cumberbatch with his famous role as Sherlock Holmes. Despite the fact that the actor played many roles before working on the series that is based on the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, including a major biopic about Stephen Hawking, he was not very famous outside the UK.

It was “Sherlock” who made the actor recognizable and sought-after outside of his home country. Today Cumberbatch is actively involved in Hollywood movies, for example, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where he plays the role of Doctor Strange.
