Midweek Mancandy: Benedict Cumberbatch (Again!)

We decided (independently but on the same day, because our brains are connected, apparently) that we want to revive Midweek Mancandy, our blog feature when we feature hot celebrity dudes every Wednesday. This week is a bit of a cheat - it's a guy who is in the news right now, but we've already featured him once (back in July 2011). Still, he rocks, so ... 

This week's Midweek Mancandy is ... BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!

Cumberbatch, best known for being AMAZING on BBC's "Sherlock," is in the news right now because he's playing the yet-unnamed villain in May 2013's "Star Trek Into Darkness."

Cumberbatch, as I said, made his name here in America as Sherlock Holmes on BBC's "Sherlock," (which ran on PBS' "Masterpiece Mystery") and he amazed us with his unique brand of hotness. He's downright otherworldly, actually. It's the cheekbones, which you can see much better in this photo of him has Sherlock Holmes:

The words we used last time were "exotic," "unique" and "enticing," and it definitely still fits. Plus, now we're going to see him in what looks to be a very different role in "Star Trek Into Darkness," and, trust us, we're freaking out!  Hopefully he'll take his energy, unique look and excellent acting skills and bring to life whoever he is playing in "Star Trek."
