Mr. Sherlock Holmes
The most famous fictional detective in the world...and one of the most easily recognized thanks to the Deerstalker Hat...the Inverness caped coat and...that pipe. The physical image of Holmes has been further immortalized by actors in both film and television. Most notably Basil Rathbone in the 1930s and 40s films and Jeremy Brett in the TV series during the 1980s and 90s. Both portrayals have inspired the K&C adaptation.
