* KaleidoscopeEyes: Famously. He has sectoral heterochromia, which causes areas of the same iris to contain different colors. His glass eyes can appear icy blue, grey, or green depending on how a scene is lit.
** This is especially noticeable during a scene in ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' (specifically The Sign of Three), as he paces through several different lighting angles.

* AscendedFancast: He was the people's choice for the titular role of ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', since he had previously played stoic, troubled geniuses in well-known adaptations (''Sherlock, Star Trek Into Darkness''). The director also agreed, saying Cumberbatch was who they had envisioned for the character. So it was no surprise that he was eventually cast.
