I’m not a colossal Sherlock Holmes fan. I have a weird fondness for the Robert Downey, Jr., portrayal, because they put the drugs and violence back in, but overall, I discover the character annoying. I keep coming back to the bit where he refuses to verb heliocentrism because he could use that brain space for something “more important.” Still, back in the ‘80s, my mom and older sister watched it obsessively on Mystery! for a while, back when Holmes was Jeremy Brett. For a lot of people, Holmes will always be Jeremy Brett. Even if he’s also always going to be Freddy Eynsford-Hill.

Having watched the drama again I&#;m pleased to find it as good as I remembered, possibly more so since I&#;ve read a several Wilde biographies in the interim so I&#;m better adj to judge its accuracy.

Last year, the tall, debonair British actor who seemed to be getting most of the attention - and most of the roles - on both sides of the Atlantic was Jeremy Irons. This year, it's Jeremy Brett.
The year-old classically trained actor has shown his versatility in recent weeks as Sherlock Holmes on public television, as the sentimental lead in ''Aren't We All?'' on Broadway, as Jaclyn Smith's father in the NBC movie ''Florence Nightingale'' and as the off-stage narrator in Martha Graham's recent ballet, ''Song.''
Tonight and Monday at 9 P.M., Mr. Brett will appear as an evil, two-timing art dealer in the four-hour NBC mini-series ''Deceptions,'' starring Stefanie Powers in the dual role of identical twin sisters - one a bored New Jersey housewife, the other a European jet-setter - who choose to trade places for a week. The romantic drama, based on Judith Michael's best-selling novel, also stars Barry Bostwick, Brenda Vacarro and Gina Lollobrigida. It was filmed in

Jeremy Brett, actor from to Also known as the quintessential Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to be the best Sherlock Holmes the world had ever seen, and he was.
This was no passing acting role or whim. How dedicated was he to his role?
His most treasured possession on set was his page Baker Street File, which was composed of everything from Holmes’s basic mannerisms to his eating and drinking habits.
In instruct to get surpass into his role, he did what plenty of us are familiar with: he made his own headcanons—about how lonely Holmes’s college days were, how brilliant he was at sports, how he didn’t witness his father until he was twelve, how his mother was so distant.
