Holmes Is Where the Part Is (Unpub)

     Hello! What’s this…? An abecedarial listing 
of actors who at one time or another (or, in a very
few cases, in my imagination) have portrayed 
the super sleuth of Baker Street.

Avramoski, Stefan   Graham Armitage 
Brett, Jeremy    Clive Brook   Nicholas Briggs
Cumberbatch, Benedict   John Cheatle   Tom Conway
Downey, Jr., Robert 
Everett, Rupert 
Frewer, Matt
Goldsmith, Paul Andrew   William Hooker Gillette   
Richard Gordon   John Gielgud
Heston, Charlton   Louis Hector   Cedric Hardwicke   
Carleton Hobbs   Richard Hurndall   Roy Hudd
Irons, Jeremy
Jeffrey, Peter 
Karloff, Boris
Lawlor, Benjamin   Roger Llewellyn 
Miller, Jonny Lee   Kevin McCarthy   Clive Marrison
Nimoy, Leonard 
O'Toole, Peter
Plummer, Christopher   Robert Powell

(Quaid -- Dennis or Randy -- or Quinn, Aidan...
though Anthony Quinn would have done 
helluva job in A Study in Scarlet.)
 
Rathbone, Basil
Saintsbury, Harry Arthur   Sir Robert Stephens
Treville, George

(Underwood, Blair or Ulrich, Robert...although
Tracey Ullman could yet be cast as an androgynous 
Sherlock -- called 'Shelock,'perhaps, or 'Herlock' -- 
in The Sign of (the) Four)

Volkov, Nikolai
Woodward, Edward   Orson Welles   Arthur Wontner

(Xiong, Xin Xin...and would he appear, perhaps, in a 
staged version of "The Adventure of the Yellow Face"...?)
 
Yamadera, Koichi
Zangenberg, Einar
