Vasily Livanov and Benedict Cumberbatch are my favorite actors to portray Sherlock Holmes. Both were born on this day in 1935 and 1976 respectively.
In my humble opinion, Vasily gave the best performance as the Canonical version of Holmes and Benedict is proving himself as the definitive modern version of the quintessential Victorian character.
