Well they got Jeremy Brett right at #1, so I'd say it's a decent list.

Number 36…well if the author aint gunna take this seriously then why should we?

Fascinating! I had no idea there had been so many Holmes portrayals.

I don't know about most of these, but I do think they got two of them wrong. Basil Rathbone should be #1 (not #2), and Benedict Cumberbatch should be #2 (not #5)!

Cumberbatch is 3 in that lineup. Jonny Lee Miller is 5.

There have been a hell of a lot of Sherlock Holmes portrayals!

NO, Jeremy Brett was/is BETTER than Benedict Cumberbatch! They can EITHER switch #1 and #2, OR keep it like it IS!

I can't comment on that because I've never seen one of Brett's performances. Meanwhile, this list is WAY too long imho. It should have been the Top Ten or even Top Twenty. There's too much chaff and too little wheat.

I love Brett and Cumberbatch, but when I read any of Conan-Doyle’s writing I cannot help but hear Rathbone’s magnificent voice, so for me he is definitive.

The worst, or even ‘strangest’ may be Stewart Granger. I have only seen a few clips of him but he looks hopelessly miscast, uncomfortable, out of his depth in the (apparently) terrible adaptation of Hound of the Baskerville.

Robert Downey Jr
Benedict Cumberbatch
Peter Cushing
Edward Woodward
Jonny Lee Miller
Tom Baker

Maybe more. There sure have been a lot of 'em.
