Luckily he was already an accomplished actor before taking on Sherlock.
I'll have to try and find the other works he's done before. A little unsure about the Fifth Estate but I want to see Star Trek even if I'll probably have no idea what it's talking about. ;;

Haha, I suppose? Tom Cruise and Martin Freeman are both around 5'7 which isn't too tall compared to the rest of the giants they often work with though...
