Benedict Cumberbatch | Alan Rickman & Sean Connery


With a degree in Classical Acting from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Benedict Cumberbatch was probably confident he would do well when he enters the industry. To some extent, he was right as he later got roles in many classical plays, including the title role in Hamlet, which was played at the Barbican Theater. However, we all know what his most remarkable work to date is— as Doctor Strange, of course!

Can he also weave his magic when asked to do an impression on The Imitation Game? He was able to channel fellow magician Alan Rickman’s voice. It was so reminiscent of the Harry Potter character that it was so easy to visualize the late Rickman himself doing the act. This impersonation was then followed by a solid impression of Sean Connery, down to the cadence and wording. During that little time given to him, Cumberbatch was able to mimic several other stars with ease.
