The latest issue of Smithsonian magazine has an article about “Sherlock Holmes’ London.” In the print edition there are photos of some of the actors who have played the role, with the caption:
Holmes has enjoyed a stellar career on-screen (clockwise from top-left: portrayed by Basil Rathbone, 1939; Jeremy Brett, 1984-94, John Cleese, 1973; Michael Caine, 1988; Robert Downey Jr. in the latest film version).
Tsk, tsk. Not a word there about Vasily Livanov.
Late edit: At the online edition there is a video clip that gives samples of some of the 50 people who’ve played the role. But there isn’t a word about Vasily Livanov there, either.
