Huh??? You don't see a character actor having Cumberbatch's followings, and a weird character actor won't be on Hollywood Reporter's front cover with the headline "The New A-List", nor would he be photographed by the legendary photographer Annie Liebovitz for the September (2013) edition of US Vogue as one of the most prolific "Leading Man" in Hollywood. Also, before Gary Oldman decided to put his family as his priority and took supporting roles in big franchises Harry Potter and Batman, he's a leading man in the industry as well.
Dew, it's about time to crawling out of the cave and, oh, don't give me the crap by saying it's just humorous, I've read enough your articles related to Cumberbatch to know what you are doing.

Maybe that's why he turned it down even after the re-writes. He already did that in another movie.

I hope James Gray talk about Lost City of Z in his masterclass at NYFF.

Needs to get his acting creds sorted out, do more quality stuff (maybe these latest films will demonstrate some of that although Fifth Estate looks dubious) and get back on stage.
