Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch, born on July 19, 1976, in London, England, is the son of actors Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham. He received his education at Brambletye School and Harrow School, where he began acting and held an arts scholarship. Following his secondary education, he took a gap year to teach English at a Tibetan monastery in Darjeeling, India. Upon his return, Cumberbatch pursued drama at the Victoria University of Manchester and furthered his acting training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, graduating with a Master of Arts in Classical Acting. Even before completing his studies, he had secured an agent, marking the beginning of his professional career in theatre, television, film, and radio. His early career involved Shakespearean theatre productions and television appearances in series such as "Heartbeat," "Tipping the Velvet," and "Fortysomething." His breakthrough on screen came in 2004 with his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in the television film "Hawking," and he achieved widespread recognition as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series "Sherlock" starting in 2010. Since then, Cumberbatch has garnered critical acclaim for his roles in films like "War Horse," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," "Star Trek Into Darkness" as Khan, "12 Years a Slave," "The Fifth Estate" as Julian Assange, and his Academy Award-nominated portrayal of Alan Turing in "The Imitation Game." He has also become a significant part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Strange. In 2015, he married Sophie Hunter, and they have three children.
