I first saw James in Children Of Dune and really noticed how great he was. Then, shortly after, I read the Eisenhorn Omnibus (a great book and the crown jewel book for the 40K story universe), and was startled to see the guy on the cover who looked a LOT like an adult James. Now that they're actually making the Eisenhorn into a show, I hope James considers the part as the main character Eisenhorn. It's an epic character in and epic story, and it just seems to me the part was made for James to play.

"Starter for 10" is a fun little movie and as the clips show, Cumberbatch is funny!
