Benedict Cumberbatch 'desperate for Sherlock to be US success'


Benedict Cumberbatch has admitted that he is "desperate" for Sherlock to be a hit in the US.

The actor argued that the BBC detective drama is only a "cult thing" in America, where it airs on PBS.

"I'm desperate for America to really take to this," he told The New York Times. "It has taken it into its heart as a cult thing, but I'd love it to hit the mainstream this time. Because I just think it's of that quality, and it belongs there."

I thought he looked average at first but now I have to agree with everyone who says he's ugly tbh. sorry benedict I tried
agatharuncible 26th-Apr-2012 11:58 pm (UTC)
also after that "we should have won" comment earlier it sounds like "desperate" is what he is all the time.
ninjacandy 26th-Apr-2012 11:59 pm (UTC)
he certainly doesn't have the charm of tom hiddleston or the looks of godfrey gao.

black_swan87 27th-Apr-2012 12:01 am (UTC)
he was joking with the "we should have won" comment
inboots 27th-Apr-2012 12:07 am (UTC)
he is desperate all the time... to have babies.

he's really into the idea of becoming a father. really into.
skeet_skeet 26th-Apr-2012 11:59 pm (UTC)
Not hot, and desperate, which does not help his case.
anbyrobanby 27th-Apr-2012 12:04 am (UTC)
the more i look at him, the more i see LJ's frank the goat staring into my soul
effervescent 27th-Apr-2012 12:05 am (UTC)
He doesn't do it for me at all, and I don't understand the people who swoon over him. Admittedly dark hair suits him better, but still.

what should i think? idk
skeet_skeet 26th-Apr-2012 11:58 pm (UTC)
Meh.

Way to pick a crappy pix and quote ONTD, biased much?
ninjacandy 27th-Apr-2012 12:02 am (UTC)


what? it's a quote of what he said and it was reported by digital spy UK, and hadn't been put up here. also, it's a picture of his face. that's what it looks like. if it's a crappy picture blame his face.

aawler 26th-Apr-2012 11:59 pm (UTC)
ia w/ him because i want the fangirls to stop thinking they're so special for liking a british show
winegums 27th-Apr-2012 12:26 am (UTC)
really? They do? That's so lame.
aawler 27th-Apr-2012 12:32 am (UTC)
yup, same goes for doctor who i'm pretty sure
enid_keaner 27th-Apr-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
...

That's amazingly sad.
jearsforqueers 27th-Apr-2012 12:43 am (UTC)
i never thought i was ~special~ when i watched doctor who. i kept that to myself b/c my friends had no idea what it was.
flightbyzephyr 27th-Apr-2012 04:20 pm (UTC)
Is that true xD If only they know how unspecial it is to like Sherlock, Downton AND Doctor Who over here, they are like saying you like Glee or Lost.
matineelove 27th-Apr-2012 12:00 am (UTC)
I know it may not be everyone's thing, but I watched the whole 2 series today (not that much, it was like 6 episodes) and I thought it was really good...

dives 27th-Apr-2012 12:37 am (UTC)
it kinda scares me that someone put so much time into making this animation.
whosmurry 27th-Apr-2012 12:53 am (UTC)
LOL, this fandom.
hawaii_bombay 27th-Apr-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
The fuck; reminds me of the Take On Me video.
foobilicious 27th-Apr-2012 01:41 pm (UTC)
ahaha, is john suggestively raising his eyebrows at the end... i can't
isntdaveone 27th-Apr-2012 12:01 am (UTC)
i've never even seen 1 episode of that show.

oh well.
rubyboots 27th-Apr-2012 12:01 am (UTC)
Someone please post that pen drawing of him someone posted in that last Cumberbatch-bashing post where he has tiny eyes and a million chins. It made me almost sick with laughter and idk why.
dedradawn 27th-Apr-2012 12:01 am (UTC)
HERE FOR DA CRAZY!!!

OP, gimme some more of that beautiful asian man!!
ninjacandy 27th-Apr-2012 12:04 am (UTC)
i am working on a godfrey gao post, bb. i'm just trying to work out how to embed his video! XD

homeboy's esquire photoshoot has yet to hit the shelves and his twitter is so damn modest - he tweets photos of everything but his face.
lauridsen09 27th-Apr-2012 12:01 am (UTC)
He's just bitter that Downton Abbey is a bigger hit here than Sherlock.
lauridsen09 27th-Apr-2012 02:05 am (UTC)
Maybe I just don't know a lot of people, but literally everyone I know watches, lol.
chimbleysweep 27th-Apr-2012 07:13 am (UTC)
Yes. It's pretty massive. I think I hear it referenced by celebs and friends and family at least once or ten times a week.
flightbyzephyr 27th-Apr-2012 04:22 pm (UTC)
Is it from what I heard if it wasn't for the fact Sherlock has been off the air for like a year and a half they are about the same when it comes to popularity.
hairdidright 27th-Apr-2012 12:01 am (UTC)
not with that fuckin' face.
rubyboots 27th-Apr-2012 12:02 am (UTC)
Oh and Sherlock is a decent show but now as flawless as people try to make it out to be.
ninjacandy 27th-Apr-2012 12:04 am (UTC)
It's such an overrated show.

He's an overrated actor.

Oh, the benefits of being male, white and upper-middle class.
rubyboots 27th-Apr-2012 12:05 am (UTC)
people also need to stop pretending they find Martin Freeman attractive, too. You can love the show without finding every man on it a hottie.
enid_keaner 27th-Apr-2012 12:08 am (UTC)
At times I really wish I was white, male and upper middle class.

I feel that my life would be a bit simpler.
inboots 27th-Apr-2012 12:15 am (UTC)
He's an overrated actor.

he really is not. the best scene of the movie belongs to gary oldman, but cumberbatch's performance in tinker, tailor was my favorite.
pivotandsway 27th-Apr-2012 02:28 am (UTC)
I thought he was regular upper class. Wasn't he complaining how it was hard to find work as a posh actor? Basically that it's limiting to be so high bred or w/e, give me a fucking break.
destructo_ray 27th-Apr-2012 12:10 am (UTC)
I can't get past episode 2.
celtic_thistle 27th-Apr-2012 12:12 am (UTC)
Thank you. It's a pretty good show, and the actors are engaging and charismatic, but...other than that, ehhhh. It's not OH MY GOD AMAZING. The stories aren't necessarily that well thought-out.
leitao 27th-Apr-2012 12:17 am (UTC)
IKR? In my opinion, the cast makes that show (and I also like the way they convey Sherlock's thought-process on screen). The plots themselves aren't always so interesting. *shrug*
dirrtypony 27th-Apr-2012 12:30 am (UTC)
its flawless to me but i love basically anything sherlock holmes.
enid_keaner 27th-Apr-2012 12:32 am (UTC)
The cast makes it worth watching.

The writing is :/
emilenshook 27th-Apr-2012 12:48 am (UTC)
It's really the acting that keeps me watching.
de_throned 27th-Apr-2012 01:28 am (UTC)
I love the show to bits and I agree, it's pretty good, but not that good.
bodyline 27th-Apr-2012 01:42 am (UTC)
I enjoy it, but it definitely isn't as great as some fans (cough cough tumblr) make it out to be.
chantonii 27th-Apr-2012 10:09 am (UTC)
Thank you! MFTE.
