Yes, the man who got naked in Frankenstein with our own Benedict Cumberbatch.

Bweeeeheeeheee.

Jonny Lee Miller is great, I'm not sure he physically meets my idea of Sherlock Holmes (but neither does RDJ) but the issue with casting is that he's linked with Benedict, with brings up SHERLOCK again, though I'm not sure you can escape the comparisons regardless.

It's the writing that will be key to a show, and thing is, it's only a pilot that we might never see if the show isn't picked up by CBS.

They should do something about the inspid title 'Elementary' though.
