I had the opportunity the past couple of days to revisit some of Benedict's work from over a decade ago. Namely, Parade's End

and The Imitation Game.

What a pleasure to go back and be reminded of why I fell in love with such a brilliant, talented, intuitive, compassionate (specifically regarding the foibles of human nature) Actor! He always thoroughly embodies the character, living and breathing them into life. One can feel the character's truth sourced from his very soul ~ as though each element of that character is a part of him, and he just taps into them to make us see and understand their struggles and pain. It hits me directly in my heart, and I am both better & grateful for the insight into humanity.

The man should have ALL the freaking awards by now...but I suppose that those who vote on such things lack the gift of reckognizing his gift. And that such awards aren't fully based on merit, but on whose 'turn' it is to win (*cough,cough* The Slapper) or some other ridiculous Hollywood popularity game. I know that Benedict says time and again that he doesn't care ~ but this Fan always will.

GREATEST ACTOR

GENERATION
