AICN is making a joke.
He looks a little like Montalban.

Benedict Cumberbach joins the cast
- Thread starter Temis the Vorta
- Start date
Coincidence corner: Cumberbatch is of course best known for playing Sherlock Holmes. Leonard Nimoy has played the character on stage. Other Trek villains and guest stars who have essayed 221b Baker Street's most famous tenant include Christopher Plummer (TUC and Murder by Decree, Silver Change), Matt Frewer (TNG, who played Holmes in 4 telemovies), Frank Langella (DS9 and a 1981 Holmes tv movie)
David Warner (TFF, TUC, TNG's Chain of Command) played Arthur Conan Doyle in a movie about Houdini.

I hope they're not joking. I really want to see a skinny Harry Mudd and his band of Latino Klingons. We won't forget that film in hurry.
Baring in mind he is an actor I'm sure that its a stage name and his real name is something slightly more mundane that equity already had on their books.
His full name is Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch, so no.
This is awesome news. I love him on Sherlock!
^ How about Nick Meyer and his connection to SH and ACD? And Kevin Bacon
I did consider the Meyer thing but decided to stick to onscreen.
I could also have pointed out that Cumberbatch has played Stephen Hawking, who appeared on TNG as himself, well, a holographic version of himself. This has to be a first?
Yes, and a lifelong fan of silly names.
Mark my words, Benedict Cumberbatch will become a household name.
In China. Where the pronunciation will be horrific. But still.
How about the fan theory that Nero Wolfe was the son of Sherlock Holmes?^ How about Nick Meyer and his connection to SH and ACD? And Kevin Bacon
His fans call themselves Cumberbitches.

^He'll only get mad if his face ends up on lunch boxes
Which is why he supposedly turned down "Doctor Who"
He would make an awesome evil vulcan and then Kirk gets his own villain
Cumberbatch and another villain team up

And I can only assume that "hot" is being used in a career context here, because he's one fugly looking dude.
Huh?
Oh, is that what it was?

Well, if you like the type, he's all yours.
^ Believe it or not, he's become a bit of a pin-up on this side of the pond.
