6 Reasons Why Benedict Cumberbatch Should Be Your Favorite Actor

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bentley chapter.

1.His Name

Full name: Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. COME ON. Although the poor guy was probably teased mercilessly during his youth, I’d say it was worth it as it’s only THE BEST NAME IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

 

2.That Smile

LOOK AT HIM SMILING. 

LOOK!

Admit it – you felt all tingly when you saw that smile. It’s the smile of a demi god.

3.He loves his fans

Those who follow the footsteps of good ol’ Benny refer to themselves as his “Cumberb*tches.” Now THAT’S a term to put on your resume.

 

4.He’s intense

Look at him, just tearing his clothing off like that. Nothing stands in his way – not even his scarf. Keep up the good work.

5. He’s the modern day Sherlock Holmes

And he’s pretty amazing at bringing the legend to life. I highly recommend catching up on the series – you can watch the first season on Netflix!

 

6. He’s also in the new version of Star Trek

He’s a very in-demand actor at the moment . . . because he’s INCREDIBLE.

You’ve been Cumberbatched!
