Biografie
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH starred as Sherlock Holmes in Steven Moffat and Mark Gattiss' BBC adaptation of the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels and was also seen in the BBC production of "Parade's End."
On film he portrayed Peter Gilliam alongside Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Colin Firth in director Tomas Alfredson's "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." His other film credits include "Starter for 10" with James McAvoy, "Amazing Grace," "Third Star," "Stuart: A Life Backward" opposite Tom Hardy, "The Other Boleyn Girl," with Scarlett Johansson, and, as the dastardly Paul Marshall, director Joe Wright's Oscar®-nominated "Atonement," with Keira Knightley and Vanessa Redgrave. In 2012 he was seen as Smaug the dragon in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit."
Cumberbatch studied drama at Manchester University before training at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Early TV roles included "Tipping the Velvet," "Silent Witness," "Nathan Barley," "Spooks," "Dunkirk," "To the Ends of the Earth" and "The Last
Enemy." However, it was his powerful portrayal of Cambridge University cosmologist Stephen Hawking, in the BBC's highly acclaimed drama "Hawking," which brought him to the attention of an international audience and earned him his first BAFTA nomination. His second BAFTA nomination came in 2010 for his portrayal of Bernard in the BBC adaptation of "Small Island."
On stage Cumberbatch starred in Danny Boyle's critically acclaimed London production of "Frankenstein," alternating the roles of Victor Frankenstein/The Creature with Johnny Lee Miller. He also appeared at the Royal National Theatre in Thea Sharrock's award-winning revival of Terence Rattigan's "After the Dance." He spent two seasons with The New Shakespeare Co. Ltd. in Trevor Nunn's production of Ibsen's "Lady From the Sea" and played George in Tennessee Williams' "Period of Adjustment." He portrayed Teesman in Richard Eyre's West End ensemble production of "Hedda Gabler," for which he received Olivier and Ian Charleston Award nominations. He also portrayed Berenger in Ionesco's "Rhinoceros" and appeared in "The Arsonists" and "The City" at the Royal Court Theatre.
