Sherlock Holmes — Robert Downey Jr.

Arthur Conan Doyle described Sherlock Holmes like this, “Higher than 6 ft, and the fact he was slender made him look even taller. The thin eagle-like nose made his face look energetic and decisive. The square-shaped chin showed his strong character.” But with Downey Jr., the differences between the character and the actor were not only about the appearance, but also about the behavior. The critics said that Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock was more like Indiana Jones or James Bond rather than the quintessential Sherlock.
