    Ok I see it, I wasn't saying Dave is a good actor, what I meant is Dave doesn't have to be, he's naturally funny. Cumberbatch is as funny as the stuff written for him because he's a bad actor. What did I miss?

    Last I heard him and Neal aren't friends anymore. Seems like there was a pretty big falling out after Dave leaving Chappelle Show.

    Q-Tip and Phife started the group when they were 5. So as long as Q-Tip is there they have a founding member. It's not like Phife got kicked out and replaced or something

    Right? It's like the Beasties without MCA.

    I'll definitely check it out though.

    Guy its three dudes, I assume they'll either rap their verses and then collectively rap Phife Dawg's part or have another associated rapper like a Busta Rhymes fill the void

    As an actor, Benedict Cumberbatch is completely elite and has a huge resume to show for it.

    Ok, besides Dr. Strange (which is mainly visual effects and great directing) what has he been in that he really moved you when you were watching him. Just because he's been in a bunch of sub-par movies does not make him elite. I had to check his imdb to find out he was in the hobbit series. He's not memorable in anything, did you know he was in Black Mass with Johnny Depp? Or Zoolander 2, nothing he does is memorable. You want the description of elite, compare him to Christian Bale. Subtract the Batman catalog, he's still elite; Empire of the Sun, 3:10 to Yuma,The Machinist,The Prestige, Out of the Furnace, American Psycho, The Fighter, American Hustle, memorable performances. Take away Dr. Strange and the Imitation game and he's nothing. That's why he sucked on SNL, because he has no skill besides memorization.Rob Schneider has more range than him.

    Christian Bale has been in mainstream films since he was 5 years old, and Benedict is just getting started. In the last 5-7 or so years he is responsible for one of the most fantastic shows ever made: Sherlock, where his unbelievable acting talents are on full display, as well as Imitation Game, Wreckers and Doctor Strange. And his portrayal of Julian Assange is nothing short of fantastic as well. Not to mention a plethora of supporting roles in top flight movies.

    He was not only nominated for a BAFTA for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking, but also won the Olivier award (Maybe the most prestigious award an actor can receive) for his portrayal of Victor Frankenstein. Lawrence Olivier, often considered the finest actor of his time, that Lawrence Olivier.

    You said he was elite, I showed you what elite is, you made excuses.

    Robert Downey Jr was a better Sherlock in two movies than Cumberbatch has been in 12 episodes.

    Besides Dr. Strange and the Imitation game lets hear it and don't give penguins and say that's **** is top flight.

    Not sure if serious, have you seen Eddie Redmayne in "The Theory of Everything"

    Pretty sure James McAvoy was a better Victor Frankenstein
