Publisher's Summary:
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, War Horse, Star Trek into Darkness, The Hobbit trilogy, Twelve Years a Slave, August: Osage County, The Fifth Estate, Hedda Gabler, After the Dance, Frankenstein, Hawking, To the Ends of the Earth, The Last Enemy, Parade's End, and, of course, Sherlock. For most actors, these stellar cinematic, theatrical, and television events would be the highlights of a lifetime's work.
On Benedict Cumberbatch's résumé they are only a few of many entries. Especially since 2010, his performances have garnered a plethora of best actor awards, both in the theatre (Evening Standard Theatre Award, Critics Circle Theatre Award, and Olivier Award), by playing the dual roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature in the National Theatre's Frankenstein, and on television (Broadcasting Press Guild Award, Critics Choice Television Award, Crime Thriller Award, and TV Choice Award), by starring as the titular Holmes in the BBC's Sherlock. Add these and other recent accolades to nearly a decade s nominations and awards (such as the Golden Nymph as best actor in Hawking), and it's easy to see why Benedict Cumberbatch is often hailed as the actor of his generation.
Cumberbatch's body of work further includes indie films, radio plays and series, television documentaries, live dramatic readings, multimedia advertisements, and even the occasional stint as a fashion model. He often shares an intriguing perspective on his profession, as evidenced in sometimes controversial interviews. He has become so much in demand that online box offices crash when tickets for his performances go on sale, and, before a Cheltenham Literature Festival Q&A session, fans overwhelmed Twitter when so many responded immediately to a call for questions. Cumberbatch consistently is a top name on lists ranging from sex appeal to global influence. In 2012 he beat David Beckham in the former and US President Barack Obama in the latter.

Members Reviews:
A bit monotonous.
This book highlights the many artistic ventures including stage and screen performances and beyond. It is a study in celebrity and media creation of an actor. The author, Lynnette Porter, has done her homework with copious research end notes and 57 pages of references alone. Many of the performances and interviews I have seen of Benedict are discussed in detail.

a gift for a cumberbatch fan
It's full of dates and figures. Nice if you're a big fan.

Three Stars
I starting reading the book last summer but the chapter were a little longer.

Five Stars
great

He's still a work in progress
General information on a talented actor. BC has so much untapped potential. He makes a wonderful villain that I believe that Star Trek: Into Darkness may just have been the point in the right direction for his career. His voice over work will entertain generations as Richard Attenborough has.
