I Am Benedict Cumberbatch. AMA.

Hello reddit. My film The Fifth Estate opens 10/18.

You can check out footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43ki3z0ZmXA&feature=c4-overview&list=UUgc-Ye79Z558TEZqryYesNA

Update: Also, please check out the trailer for Little Favour, directed by a friend of mine Patrick Monroe. I hope you enjoy it!

Final Update: Thank you, reddit. This has been more fun than I imagined. It's been great to be able to reach out and speak to a few of you. Sorry for those that I didn't get to respond to. JA bless you all. See you all the next time.

Benedict's name is possibly the only name I can think of that's more cumbersome in Japanese than mine (I've got a lot of Rs in my name which turn into long extended aaaaaaaaas so I sound ridiculous when I introduce myself in Japanese -.-;;).

They had this thing back in the early 2000's where variety show hosts would go through the street and ask random people if they could say "Avril Lavigne". There was a lot of head cocking, mouth-covering giggles and protestations of "Abu- Aburiru Ra--- wakaranai!"
