Benedict Cumberbatch


Recommended Posts

Love that name, btw. :tongue_smilie: Anyway, did you know he voiced an 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' commercial? I had no clue until dd14 and I were watching tv and the commercial came on. Apparenty she had seen it on you tube because she loves all things Cumberbatch. Wow, what a sensuous voice for a butter commercial! Aiiee! I was floored! The way he pronounced butter stayed in my mind the rest of the day!

On his name:

 

Cumberbatch's father dropped the family name, which means "dweller in a valley with a stream," when he became an actor.

 

"His middle name, Carlton, was cleaner and sounded less like a fart in the bath," Cumberbatch says. "My first agent dissuaded me from calling myself 'Cumberbatch.' I had six months of not very productive time with her, so I changed agents. The new one said, 'Why aren't you using your family name? It's a real attention-grabber.' I worried, 'How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?' But then I decided that's not my problem."

 

Love the otters.

Why is there no link to this on Youtube? I've tried finding it myself but haven't been able too.

 

You mean the

? Although I'm reading online that some people are saying it is not Cumberbatch that voiced the commercial. So is it, or isn't it?
