BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Sherlock actors together in non-Sherlock shows

Not sure where to put this, feel free to move it if necessary,

I was watching a Miss Marple last night, Murder Is Easy, with the delicious BC playing her offsider (lucky old girl!) when who should pop up as the village bobby but Russell Tovey, who, of course, plays Henry Knight in The Hounds of Baskerville.

Have you spotted any others?

You could say Benedict & Jonny Lee Miller in Frankenstein, seeing as they are both Sherlocks.

Not sure if it's exactly what you were looking for but Hugh Laurie plays 'House' who is loosely based off of the character of Sherlock Holmes and here we see him play the father of our BBC Sherlock.

The show was called 40 something.

LOL, remember we thought that was the answer to that really random question on the Scavenger Hunt?

I think Benedict and Mark Gatiss worked together in Starter for Ten

Yep. Benedict and Andrew Scott have performed together on stage, I believe.

Oh yeah, there's a cute photo of them wearing pyjamas and hugging.

Well, an obvious answer is The hobbit : ).

I thought it was Appointment with Death he was in?

**Posted by Jim Moriarty** April 29, 2012 12:07 pm

Yes something like that.

**Posted by Davina** April 29, 2012 5:44 pm

He was in Appointment with Death. Both Andrew Scott and Rupert Graves were in Garrrow's Law. Rupert played Sir Arthur Hill and Andrew played Captain Jones.

Well, having just watched 'Hawking' I noticed that John Sessions and a Benedict performed. Benedict as Stephen Hawking and John as Professor Sharma. John played the brother of Connie Prince in A Study in Pink.

Also, not an actor I know, but the screenplay for Hawking was...Steven Moffat.

Just finished watching 'Murder is Easy' with Benedict and Russell Tovey. Loved the motorbike scenes. Luke Fitzwilliam. Thought Russell was actually rather good in this too.

The Pirates! Band of Misfits
features the voices of Martin Freeman (The Pirate with a Scarf) and Russel Tovey (Albino Pirate).
