Talk:List of people who have played Sherlock Holmes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] The curious incident with when these guys portrayed Holmes

It would be a good idea to mention which Film/TV series/TV special/Audio/Stage/Whatever these actors played Sherlock Holmes in, Eh? -Davros27

Okay, I did this. I'm not sure if the list format I used is the best option; feel free to change it. I removed the following from the list: Vincent D'Onofrio (mistake, played Moriarty), John Gielgud (mistake, never played Holmes), Jeremy Irons (never played Holmes, as far as I can tell), Malcolm McDowell (was supposed to play Holmes but the project seems to have been abandoned), Jon Pertwee (can't find anything about Holmes), Robert Powell (can't find anything), George C. Scott (he played a character who thought he was Holmes, not Holmes himself), Brent Spiner (his character on Star Trek pretended to be Holmes; doesn't really count).

[edit] Accuracy?

  • Vincent D'Onofrio played Moriarty, not Holmes, in Sherlock: Case of Evil. someone seems to be confused since his face is the one on the cover. I didn't check, but is D'Arcy on the list? Kingerik 13:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
