Let me count the ways...
Okay. Could this guy get more perfect? He does politics - addressing the TUC regarding government cuts to the ARTS Council grant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3vlIyu75-0&feature=player_embedded
He does audiobooks, including this new selection of Sherlock Holmes stories: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-Holmes-Rediscovered-Railway-Mysteries/dp/1408426250/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287602769&sr=1-3 and also poetry: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Words-You-Chapter-Various-Artists/dp/tracks/B00476Z6YI/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1
He went on a diet to play Sherlock in order to 'sharpen up his cheekbones': http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/sherlock/cumberbatch.html and generally scrubs up pretty well for a photo shoot: http://community.livejournal.com/sherlockbbc/1099974.html?#cutid1
And despite his excellent diction when performing, he sometimes has the cutest little lisp which is manifest when he is relaxed and joking around, which is entirely loveable and endearing.
I'm seriously impressed. If I was his mother - which technically and legally I regret to say I am quite old enough to be - I'd be a very proud woman. Fortunately I'm not in any way related, so I feel quite free to admire...
