Great in Sherlock Holmes


I'm used to him being wishywashy and meek in Mad Men, it was great to see him be such an evil villain. :)

Precisely! For the entire movie I was trying to remember what else he had played. He was brilliant as Moriarty and it would've been difficult to connect that to innocuous little Lane Pryce.

He is the best Moriarty that has been seen on film or TV. Hog eyed, subtly mad. A touch of Jared's own father in the acting of it I think! Jeremy Brett's the best Holmes, if only he had met Harris's Moriarty.

He's easily the best Moriarty I've seen on screen.Definitely better than George Zucco all those years ago.

I have not seen him in Mad Men but his performance in Sherlock Holmes was excellent. Really the only reason to see the movie in my opinion. I can't wait to see him as U.S. Grant.

The film I thought was a lengthy mess, but his performance made me shudder. Very menancing and makes me curious as to whether he researched case studies of people with ASPD.

Subtitles misread: 'the Arch bitch of Canterbury'
