Doctor Strange and Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has spoken about how his role in new Netflix drama series Eric, gave him ‘the fear’ of losing a child
Benedict Cumberbatch , the star of new Netflix series Eric, has spoken about how the role of a dad whose son goes missing affected him at the London premiere of the show. The actor, who is best known for his roles as Sherlock and Doctor Strange, is the father of three sons – Christopher Carlton, 8, Hal Auden, 7, and five year old Finn – with wife Sophie Hunter.
Realising that he didn’t spend enough time with his son and suffering from guilt, Vincent becomes convinced that if he can get his son’s drawing of a puppet monster named Eric onto TV that Edgar will return. However, as the police investigate Edgar’s disappearance, Vincent starts seeing and hearing Eric – a huge blue furry creature – in real life.
“There’s a lot of incredible sorts of opportunity and creative stretching and imagination to work on as an actor in the show. As a dad watching, it’s a little tricky, but I was very distracted by the kind of assault course of it.” “I’m creating a puppet as a manifestation of his vision and with my voice, and that’s an external reality of his internal psychic turmoil," he shared.
