So while he perfectly portrays the Captain, I can admit that I’m not a fan of him purely because of his acting ability. I am a big fan of Benedict Cumberbatch mainly because of his acting skills though. Sherlock is my favorite tv show, as I will mention in the next question, so this is sort of a given.
