Benedict Cumberbatch is an actor with a unique, memorable appearance and an extremely interesting filmography. Moreover, his career has taken off so much over the past 10-15 years that we all finally remember his difficult first and last name.





The Imitation Game (2014)



Benedict as Alan Turing, an English mathematician with a difficult life who, during World War II, tries to crack the code of the German Enigma cipher machine.

The first Oscar nomination in the actor's career.

Power of the Dog (2021)





Benedict stars as gruff, never-washing Phil Burbank, owner of the ranch he shares with his brother George. When George marries widow Rose, who has a son, Peter, Phil initially doesn't get along with the teenager, sneering at him, but they form a bond that leads to unexpected consequences.

The second and, to date, last Oscar nomination in the actor’s career.

Doctor Strange (2016)



Benedict - in the role of a superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe somewhat reminiscent of Tony Stark. The main character, a successful neurosurgeon named Stephen Strange, gets into an accident, due to which he loses the ability to perform operations. In an attempt to somehow restore his hands, he ends up in Nepal with a certain Ancient One, who introduces Steven to... magic. Now Stephen, although he does not heal people, becomes the guardian of the Temple of Sorcerers in New York.

Van Gogh: Portrait in Words (2010)



Benedict as Vincent van Gogh. A film about the difficult life of the great artist, based on his letter to his younger brother.

Third Star (2010)



Benedict plays a cancer-stricken 29-year-old young man, James, who will not turn 30. He and his two friends go on a “farewell” journey, filled with unpredictable events and humor (although, it would seem, what kind of humor is there).

Life backwards (2007)



Benedict stars as writer Alexander Masters, who chronicles the life of his friend Stuart Shorter, a homeless alcoholic who survived a traumatic childhood event and fought for the rights of people living on the streets. The film is based on the book by Alexander Masters, and the story is shown backwards.

Tom Hardy, who played the role of Stuart, calls this work his best. But Benedict is at his best here, as always.

Hawking (2004)



Benedict as Stephen Hawking, a brilliant physicist and cosmologist whose life was extremely complicated by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which had been slowly developing since his youth. The British TV movie starring Cumberbatch shows the university years of one of the most brilliant men in history.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)



Benedict as Khan, a villain whom the brave crew of the legendary Enterprise fights.

Cumberbatch doesn't play villains as often as he could, given his appearance, but this one is perfect.

Spy, get out! (2011)



Benedict stars as Peter Guillem, an assistant to Gary Oldman's George Smiley, who is secretly trying to uncover a Soviet mole within MI6.

The Cat Worlds of Louis Wain (2021)



Benedict as the English artist Louis Wain, famous for his drawings of anthropomorphic cats. He lived with his mother and five sisters and lost his wife early - all these circumstances (and some mental problems) made him a specific but brilliant person who gave the world extremely interesting objects of art. There are many cats featured in the film, but the main one, of course, is Cumberbatch himself.
