Sherlock Holmes for the day

Gary Susman has a Time article about one of Rico's favorite characters:

When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, we’re all Dr. Watson. We try to solve the mystery ourselves based on the few clues we can perceive, but Holmes is always many steps ahead, making deductions based on evidence we haven’t even noticed.
It’s certainly impossible to keep up with Sherlock Holmes as portrayed in films and on television. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the sleuth, invented 127 years ago by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the most oft-portrayed character in cinema, having been played by more than seventy actors in upwards of two hundred projects. One of the most celebrated, the current BBC series Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as a twenty-first-century Holmes, returned to the airwaves on PBS on 19 January 2014. And Cumberbatch is just one of several current television and movie Sherlocks, including Robert Downey Jr. and Jonny Lee Miller.
Conan Doyle’s hero– a mix of deductive brilliance, charisma, and personal vices– has proved surprisingly adaptable over the past century and a quarter. He continues to fascinate, whether he’s prowling the foggy streets of Victorian London or trolling the Internet in the age of Twitter. Here, then, are ten of our favorite actors who’ve (metaphorically, at least) tried on the deerstalker cap, proving over the decades that there’s no ace like Holmes:

Basil Rathbone
Peter Cushing
Robert Stephens
Nicol Williamson
Christopher Plummer
Jeremy Brett
Nicholas Rowe
Robert Downey Jr.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Jonny Lee Miller 

Rico says he'll watch any (even the old ones) version of the man but, while Sherlock is his favorite, it does not have Lucy Liu in it, alas...
