I've read every Holmes story at least 10 times and one thing I've noticed most actors are lacking is Holmes never nervous/never serious/always joking around personality. Even in The Final Problem when he's at his most vulnerable he's still making jokes about it. I was watching Matt in Dr. Who and he's got all of those character traits down pat. I think he'd be the perfect Sherlock Holmes.
sharewhat do you think of moffats new sherlock?
shareIf I remember correctly, Smith audtioned for Moffat's Sherlock.
sharefor Waston though not Sherlock (Moffat thought he was too werid for Waston)

He would make a good Sherlock Holmes when he reaches middle age. I don't really hold with young sleuths. I like to see Sherlock Holmes played in the traditional manner. Mid forties to mid fifties. But I think Sherlock Holmes has been done to death already. I think we could do without anymore for the foreseeable future.
shareI just read moments ago that Moffat said if Cumberbatch had not already been cast for the part of Sherlock that Matt would have been a great match for the role.
shareBut then we never would have known him as The Doctor. I like Capaldi and Tennant, but Matt Smith's is the only Doctor for me. He's the one who actually seems to make use of two hearts. I love him for that!
