In November 2013, he was honoured by BAFTA Los Angeles with a Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year for his "masterful performances in television, film and theatre."[3][4]

Early years

Cumberbatch was born on 19 July 1976 at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in Hammersmith, London, to actors Timothy Carlton (real name Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch) and Wanda Ventham.[5][6] He grew up in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. His great-grandfather, Henry Arnold Cumberbatch CMG, was the consul general of Queen Victoria in Turkey. His grandfather, Henry Carlton Cumberbatch, was a decorated submarine officer of both World Wars and a prominent figure of London high society.[7]

Cumberbatch started attending boarding schools when he was eight. He was educated at Brambletye School in West Sussex and was an arts scholar at Harrow School.[8][9][10] He was a member of The Rattigan Society, Harrow's principal club for the dramatic arts which was named after Old Harrovian and playwright Sir Terence Rattigan.[11] He was involved in numerous Shakespearean works in school and made his acting debut as Titania Queen of the Fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was 12.[12] Cumberbatch's drama teacher, Martin Tyrell, called him "the best schoolboy actor" he had ever worked with.[13] He was also part of the rugby team, and painted oil canvasses while at Harrow.[13][14] After school, he took a gap year to teach English in a Tibetan monastery.[15] He then attended the University of Manchester, where he studied drama.[16] After graduating, Cumberbatch continued his training as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.[1]

Career

Theatre

Since 2001, Cumberbatch has had major roles in a dozen classic plays at the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park, Almeida Theatre, Royal Court Theatre and the Royal National Theatre. He was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role for his performance as Tesman in Hedda Gabler, a role he performed at the Almeida Theatre on 16 March 2005, as well as at the Duke of York's Theatre when it transferred to the West End on 19 May 2005.

Cumberbatch during rehearsals for Frankenstein, April 2011

Cumberbatch acted in Danny Boyle's The Children's Monologues, a theatrical charity event at London's Old Vic Theatre on 14 November 2010. The show was produced by Dramatic Need.[17]

In February 2011, he began playing, on alternate nights, both Victor Frankenstein and his creature, opposite Jonny Lee Miller, in Danny Boyle's stage production of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at the Royal National Theatre.[18][19] Frankenstein was broadcast to cinemas as a part of National Theatre Live in March 2011.[20] Cumberbatch achieved the "Triple Crown of London Theatre" in 2011 when he was awarded the Olivier Award, Evening Standard Award and Critics' Circle Theatre Award for his performance in Frankenstein.

Cumberbatch was a part of a cast featuring Britain's greatest actors that performed in 50 Years on Stage, the Royal National Theatre's landmark event for its 50th anniversary on 2 November 2013. He played Rosencrantz in a selected scene from Tom Stoppard's play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead which was first performed at the National Theatre in 1967.[21][22] The show was directed by Sir Nicholas Hytner and was broadcast on BBC Two and in cinemas worldwide as a part of National Theatre Live.

He is set to return to theatre to play Shakespeare's Hamlet at London's West End tentatively scheduled in late 2014.[23][24] It will be directed by Lyndsey Turner and will be produced by Sonia Friedman.[23][24]

Television

Cumberbatch's television roles include two separate guest roles in Heartbeat (2000, 2004), Freddy in Tipping the Velvet (2002), Edward Hand in Cambridge Spies (2003) and Rory in the ITV comedy drama series Fortysomething (2003). He was also featured in Spooks and Silent Witness. In 2004, he starred as Stephen Hawking in Hawking. He was nominated for the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actor and won the Golden Nymph for Television Films – Best Performance by an Actor. He later provided Hawking's voice in the first episode of the television series Curiosity. He also appeared in the BBC miniseries Dunkirk as Lieutenant Jimmy Langley.

Cumberbatch filming Sherlock in Chinatown, London, March 2010

In 2005, Cumberbatch starred as the protagonist Edmund Talbot in the miniseries To the Ends of the Earth, based on William Golding's trilogy; during filming he experienced a terrifying carjacking and narrowly escaped.[25] He also made brief appearances in the comedy sketch show Broken News in 2005. Cumberbatch next starred alongside Tom Hardy in the television adaptation of the book Stuart: A Life Backwards, which aired on the BBC in September 2007. In 2008, he starred in the BBC miniseries drama The Last Enemy, for which he was nominated for a Satellite Award for Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Film.

In 2009, Cumberbatch starred in Marple: Murder Is Easy as Luke Fitzwilliam. He played Bernard in the TV adaptation of Small Island; the performance earned him a nomination for BAFTA Television Award for Best Supporting Actor.[26] He also starred in Michael Dobbs' play The Turning Point[27] which aired as one of a series of TV plays broadcast live on Sky Arts channel. The two-hander depicted a little-known October 1938 meeting between Soviet spy Guy Burgess, then a young man working for the BBC, and Winston Churchill. Cumberbatch portrayed Burgess; Churchill was played by Matthew Marsh, who had played a supporting role in Hawking.[28] He narrated the 6-part series South Pacific (US title: Wild Pacific), which aired May to June 2009 on BBC 2.

In 2010, Cumberbatch portrayed Vincent van Gogh in Van Gogh: Painted with Words. The Telegraph called his performance "[a] treat ... vividly bringing Van Gogh to impassioned, blue-eyed life."[29] In the same year, Cumberbatch began playing Sherlock Holmes in the first series of the BBC/PBS television series Sherlock, to critical acclaim.[30][31][32] A second three-part series began on New Years Day 2012 in the United Kingdom[33] and was broadcast on PBS in the United States in May 2012.[34] A third series was broadcast in the United Kingdom in January 2014. Cumberbatch was nominated for a BAFTA, Emmy and Golden Globe for Best Actor in Miniseries or TV Movie for the part.

In 2012, he led the BBC and HBO co-produced miniseries Parade's End with Rebecca Hall. It is an adaptation of the tetralogy of novels of the same name by Ford Madox Ford. Its five episodes are directed by Susanna White and are adapted by Tom Stoppard.[35][36] His performance earned him his second Emmy Award nomination for Best Actor in Miniseries or TV Movie.

Film

Cumberbatch at the Los Angeles premiere of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, December 2013.

In 2006, Cumberbatch played William Pitt the Younger in Amazing Grace. The film is the story of William Wilberforce's intense and lengthy political fight in the late 18th century to eliminate the slave trade in the British Empire. Pitt was Wilberforce's closest friend and staunchest political ally, and became Prime Minister at an early age. The role garnered Cumberbatch a nomination for the London Film Critics Circle British Breakthrough Acting Award. Cumberbatch subsequently appeared in supporting roles in Atonement (2007) and The Other Boleyn Girl (2008). In 2009, he appeared in the Darwin biographical film Creation as Darwin's friend Joseph Hooker. In 2010, he appeared in The Whistleblower.

He played Peter Guillam, George Smiley's right-hand man, in the 2011 adaptation of the John le Carré novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The film was directed by Tomas Alfredson and starred Gary Oldman and Colin Firth.[37] Cumberbatch also portrayed Major Stewart in Steven Spielberg's War Horse (2011). He provided the voice and motion-capture for both Smaug the Dragon and the Necromancer in The Hobbit (2012).[38] Cumberbatch also played Khan Noonien Singh in the J. J. Abrams-directed Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).[39][40]

Cumberbatch at the 68th Venice International Film Festival, in September 2011

Three of the four films he starred in in the second half of 2013 premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival: The Fifth Estate, where he played WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, 12 Years a Slave, where he played William Ford, a slave owner, and August: Osage County, playing Oklahoman Charles Aiken. In December of the same year, he reprised his role as Smaug the dragon and The Necromancer through voice and motion capture for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

It was reported in June 2013 that Gary Oldman is eyeing Cumberbatch and Ralph Fiennes to star in his next directorial project titled Flying Horse about the life of English photographer Eadweard Muybridge.[41][42] In September 2013, Cumberbatch expressed his intent in joining the project.[43] He has also signed up for a voice role in DreamWorks Animation's feature film Penguins of Madagascar, which is set for release in March 2015.[44]

He will star in the upcoming historical drama film The Imitation Game as British cryptographer Alan Turing, which is set for release on 2014. In September 2013, he officially signed on as the lead in Paramount Pictures and Plan B Entertainment's adaptation of the best-selling book The Lost City of Z about the South American explorer Percy Fawcett to be directed by James Gray.[45][45][46][46][47]

Radio

Cumberbatch has repeatedly expressed his adoration for radio and has done numerous productions for the BBC. In 2013, he told Interview Magazine that he has always been attracted to the extent of textual and contextual analysis involved in radio.[48]

Amongst his most notable radio works is the adaptation of John Mortimer's novel Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders in 2009. Cumberbatch played Young Rumpole, and would go on to play the part in six more adaptations of Mortimer's work. Cumberbatch also plays Captain Martin Crieff in the BBC's Cabin Pressure. He then went on to play Angel Islington in the 2013 BBC Radio 4 adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. In the same year, he led the BBC Radio 3 adaptation of Michael Frayn's play Copenhagen wherein he played theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg.

Other work

Cumberbatch has narrated numerous documentaries for both the National Geographic and Discovery Channel. He has also read for several audiobooks, including Casanova, The Tempest, The Making of Music, Death in a White Tie, Artists in Crime, and Sherlock Holmes: The Rediscovered Railway Mysteries and Other Stories. He does the voice overs of several commercials, major names like Jaguar, Sony, Pimms, and Google+ doing the Seven Ages of Man monologue. For the 2012 London Olympics, he did a short film on the history of London for the BBC coverage to kick off the opening ceremony.[49] He made appearances for two Cheltenham Festivals, in July 2012 for Music wherein he read WWI poetry and prose accompanied by piano pieces[50] and in October 2012 for Literature wherein he discussed Sherlock and Parade's End at The Centaur.[51] In 2012, the actor lent his voice to a four-part, spoken-word track titled 'Flat of Angles' for Late Night Tales which is based on a story written by author and poet Simon Cleary.[52] In 2013, he recorded a song titled "Can't Keep it Inside" for the official film soundtrack of August: Osage County.

Cumberbatch together with his best friend Adam Ackland, writer-director Patrick Monroe, action coordinator Ben Dillon, and production manager Adam Selves formally launched their production company SunnyMarch Ltd. in late 2013. Their first project under the company's banner was the £87,000 crowd-funded short film Little Favour starring Cumberbatch and written and directed by Monroe. The 30-minute action-thriller short film became internationally available on iTunes on November 5, 2013.[2][53]

In the media

Cumberbatch did not achieve international recognition until the first season of Sherlock in 2010.[54][55][56][57] He has since been called "The Thinking Woman's Crumpet" and has been a mainstay in numerous "Sexiest Man Alive" lists including that of Empire and People magazine.[58][59][60][61] In 2013, he appeared on the covers of Time and The Hollywood Reporter's "New A-list" issue.[62] He has been repeatedly described by the UK press as a "National Treasure."[63][64]

In 2012, he described a cyberstalking incident where he discovered that someone had been live-tweeting his movements in his London home.[65] Coming to terms with it, he said, it is "an ongoing process. To think that somebody knew everything I'd done in a day and told the rest of the world in real time!"[66]

Personal life

In 1999, Cumberbatch began dating actress Olivia Poulet, whom he met at university. The couple amicably broke up after 12 years together.[67] After Poulet, Cumberbatch dated London-based artist Anna James in January 2011 but separated a year later.[68][69] As of December 2013, Cumberbatch remains single.[70][71][72]

While in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in 2005, Cumberbatch and two of his friends were abducted overnight and held at gunpoint by a group of locals. He was yanked out of the car, his limbs were tied, and he was thrown into the boot. In the end, their abductors drove them into the middle of nowhere and set them free without any explanation. Cumberbatch said of the incident: "It taught me that you come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It's made me want to live a life less ordinary."[73][74]

Cumberbatch considers himself a Buddhist, "at least philosophically."[75]

Charity and social action

Cumberbatch is an ambassador of The Prince's Trust, a charity founded by Charles, Prince of Wales that aims to help disadvantaged young people of the UK.[76] He is also an ambassador of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.[77] Cumberbatch is a supporter of Dramatic Need, a charity that promotes creative expression as a tool for conflict resolution, social development, gender empowerment and the assimilation of health messages in underprivileged communities.[78] Cumberbatch helped in launching the now annual London Night Hike for Maggie's Centres, a network of drop-in centres in Great Britain that provide support for people affected by cancer, their families, carers and friends.[79][80] He is a patron of Teenage Cancer Trust and Myeloma UK among others.[81][82] Cumberbatch is also known for donating his own drawings and sketches for charities and fundraisers.[83][84]

In 2003, he joined the Stop the War Coalition protest in London against the Iraq War.[85] He addressed activists in 2010 protest sponsored by the Trade Union Congress in Westminster on the suggested risks to the arts due to spending cuts expected in the Spending Review.[86][87] In 2013, he single-handedly protested against what he perceived were civil liberties violations by the UK Government.[88] He is a supporter of Liberty, formerly known as National Council for Civil Liberties, a cross party, non-party membership organisation at the heart of the movement for fundamental rights and freedoms in the UK.[89][90]

Cumberbatch is also known to be a straight ally and in July 2013 officiated the same-sex marriage of his friends.[91][92][93]
