I'm going for Johnny Lee Miller, not because he's the best Holmes (that's Brett, the definitive version IMHO), or the coolest (Cumberbatch) or even the most lovable (Downey Jr) but because he's the most deeply flawed and shares more of my traits.

Any views?

Jeremy Brett is my favorite Sherlock Holmes but I had to vote for Benedict Cumberbatch for the most Aspie. Brett always struck me as exhibiting a more Schizoid personality.

Most Aspie? Cumberbatch by a mile.

Nice to see Roxburgh on this list, though.

I didn't vote. The only Sherlock Holmes actor I've seen is Robert Downey Jr. :lol:

Cumberbatch, hands down. They even mention his AS in one of the episodes.

Have they mentioned AS with any of the others?

Nope. AS wasn't identified and named until the 1940s and not really known in the English-speaking world until 1994, and only two Holmes adaptations have been made since then that take place in the modern day: the BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch and the CBS series with Jonny Lee Miller. And as far as I know, the Miller series has yet to drop the A-bomb.
