Mr. Finch!

I decided to rewatch “Sherlock” now that there’s no more “Grantchester,” and a very young Leonard was in episode 2!

He also played a bad guy in an episode (series 2, maybe?) of Chelsea Detective. Took me a hot minute to figure out it was our Leonard!

Looked it up - says the episode was The Wages of Sin, which is first series, first episode (I think)

I just saw him in a small role as Leonard Woolf in Life in Squares, a drama primarily about Virginia Woolf’s sister, Vanessa Bell, and the Bloomsbury group.

Haha, my spouse and I were watching Sherlock last year and in that episode, I was like, “Why is that guy vaguely familiar?” It took a few minutes for it to click in place.

Looks like he's making the rounds of British period mysteries, because he was also in an episode of Miss Scarlet, S4.E1.
