Every actor, sooner or later, has a lot ofplayed roles appear one, after which he becomes known far beyond his native country. This happened with the hereditary British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who, having played a major role in the modern interpretation of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about Sherlock Holmes, became not only one of the most popular and sought-after actors, but also won the love of millions of viewers.
Benedict was born in the hospital of Queen Charlotte 19July 1976. Mama actor Wanda Wetham was married twice, the first time for businessman James Tabernakle, from whom in 1958 she gave birth to Tracey's daughter, and the second time to actor Timothy Carlton, who is younger than her for 4 years.
The debut of the little Benedict took place when he was only 4 days old. Popular in Britain, the parent-actors published his photo in the Daily Mirror.
Recently, the actor is married to Sophie Hunter - a famous theater director. The wedding was held on February 14, 2015, and on July 1, the couple was born a first-born - Christopher Carlton.
The childhood years of Benedict were held in an elite school forthe Harrow boys. Despite the fact that this educational institution was finished by such outstanding personalities as Byron and Churchill, Benedict was extremely shy about his education.
It is noteworthy that for the first time he demonstratedhis acting talent is in the school theater, where he played brilliantly the role of the fairies of Titania from the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Shakespeare). Since the girls in Harrow were not trained, it was decided to entrust this role to a small red-haired boy, who turned out to be Benedict Cumberbatch.
After the release, the future actor leaves for TibetanMonastery, where he teaches children English. However, after a short time, the life of the teacher bored the active nature of Benedict. He decides to follow in the footsteps of his parents and goes to study at Manchester University, where he duly mastered the skills of acting. After training, he comes to work in a theatrical troupe.
However, even in spite of the first successes in the theatrical field, no one at that time could guess how the fate, no doubt, of a talented young man will develop in the future.
Movies with Cumberbatch are a standard of acting. The actor manages to get as much as possible into the role, due to what the experiences of screen characters look spectators in one breath.
Serious work in the theatrical fieldCumberbatch started only in 2001, after he got the roles immediately on several stages of London. For Benedict, the most outstanding in this field was the work in the play "Frankenstein", staged by the famous director Danny Boyle. Critics appreciated Benedict's ability to reincarnate. It was for the main role in this performance that Benedict, along with his colleague John Lee Miller, received his first and, most notably, the highest in Britain award for his contribution to theatrical activities - the Olivier Lawrence Award.
In August 2015, Benedict again participated in thetheatrical play, but already in the role of the legendary character of the play of Shakespeare - Hamlet. In the autumn this production was shown by hundreds of cinemas all over the world.
Впрочем, по-настоящему известным Бенедикт стал it was due to the performance of the main role in the series "Sherlock", where he starred along with actor Martin Freeman. Most critics noted that Sherlock Benedicta was incarnated 100%.
Sherlock - the serial "long-liver".His first episode was aired in 2010, while the shooting of new series continues to this day. It is noteworthy that in this series Benedikt's colleagues on the set were his parents, who played, oddly enough, the parents of Sherlock Holmes.

As for the fourth season, its release is scheduled for 2016. However, now the screenwriters are shocking the audience with an episode of the new season, which was shown at the Comic-con festival.
The fact that the imagemost English detective turned out so believable only because of the level of acting skills, which reached Cumberbatch. Sherlock Holmes in his performance turned out as close as possible to the understanding of the modern audience, so that each new series of the series looks at one go.
Примечательно, что съёмки четвёртого сезона были produced in the decorations characteristic of the Victorian era, in connection with which the audience had the main question: is the shown passage related to the ending of the third season, where the allegedly deceased Moriarty appears on the screen with the question: "Did you miss me?" become an independent work, shown outside the main, modern storyline.
