Happy Birthday Sir Vasily!!
Happy birthday to Sir Vasily Livanov, the Russian Sherlock Holmes. I say it that way, because to me he is 'the' Russian Holmes in the same way that Jeremy Brett is 'the' British Holmes.
If you haven't seen the series, run don't walk to get it. I don't believe there is a dubbed version, but don't let that stop you. There are subtitles and you know pretty much what they're saying anyhow.
