What do you make of the new US modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation, Elementary?
Jonny [Lee Miller] asked me if I was all right with him doing it. I said, ‘What are the similarities?’ And he went, ‘Well it’s modern.’ I went, ‘Oh.’ Then he said, ‘Lucy Liu’s going to play Joan Watson’. And I went, ‘Oh.’ I got hold of the pilot script just to check it out. I don’t know, we’ll see. I think there’s room for us both to coexist. I don’t feel threatened by it and I wish him the best, which is as diplomatic as I can be.
It’s a strange position to be in.
It’s very odd. I did say, ‘Well, I’d prefer you didn’t do it but you’ve got a kid to feed, a nice house in LA and a wife to keep in good clothes.’ When you get used to a certain standard of living and they waft a pay cheque at you, what are you going to do? I think Jonny was like, ‘Mate, I’ve got the f*cking mountain to climb here [to reach the acclaim of Sherlock], you’ve got nothing to fear. I wish him the best of luck, but I’m a bit cynical about why they’ve chosen to do it and why they cast him.

If Benny Calmthefuckdownbach does not stop talking and SOON, it will destroy any intention I have of ever seeing The Hobbit. How is the cast of BBC Sherlock so pretentious and so douchey? How the hell is it your business to tell someone else to not take a role?
Also, cry me a river complaining about “reverse snobbery”.
??? Wow, he will be devasteted if you won’t see the Hobbit… Lee Miller ASKED HIM for his opinion. YOU are the douche.
