More than 75 actors have stepped into the shoes of this clever detective for the entertainment of audiences worldwide. Pictured are some of the most recognized actors to portray Sherlock Holmes in film or television. Adaptations of the classic detective stories have taken Sherlock Holmes in a variety of directions.
