So you probably know him in Sherlock , and you definitely know him in Star Trek: Into Darkness (or maybe you just know him from Tumblr ). But there’s a reason the man is an Emmy-nominated actor. Here are the other Benedict Cumberbatch roles you need to see. And happy birthday, Ben!
Parade's End (2012)
Period drama BlondeBatch. Emmy nominated performance. What are you doing, go watch it right now.
Wait. Read the rest of the post first.
Wreckers (2011)
1. Cumberbatch was super creepy in this domestic drama. 2. His wife (Claire Foy) was kind of weird, but sympathetic. 3. I had NO IDEA what was going to happen in it until ... it happened.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)
THIS MOVIE IS REALLY GOOD.

Third Star (2010)
Not the greatest movie ever made, but Cumberbatch as a dying man on a final holiday with his friends has some very moving meltdowns. (And somehow rocks a fedora without looking ridiculous.)
