Beats the lot of them as an actor in my opinion and doesn't appear to have a snobbish or bitter bone in his body - aside from being just about the most beautiful creature I did ever lay eyes on.

He mentioned it once in an interview, that perhaps as an actor he doesn't get the range of roles he would like due to being pigeonholed. He wasn't complaining as such, but he said it was a drawback. He wasn't about to march on parliament or start up a charity, he was just saying. And if he was a working class actor in the reverse situation, nobody would've batted an eyelid. Another example of inverted snobbery at it's finest. He hasn't mentioned it again until this Radio Times interview, where he said ( in ONE paragraph) that he was fed up with some people perceiving him to be a posh boy who moans about only getting posh roles. He wasn't declaring an imminent move to the US due to people getting at him for being posh, as the newspapers fatuously and erroneously put it. Oh and I really don't think he's handsome but there is something about his voice that makes him attractive somehow... Anything said by people in the public eye will be open to criticism and that's fine..all's fair in love and war, but at least get what they say right in the first bloody place before you go steaming in both feet first with the flaming torches and spears. Seriously, the capacity of people to be led by the media and abandon all autonomous thought and action is utterly terrifying. *head bangs desk*

It's the french fries of TV). He's entitled to his opinion, but I'm kind of blown away by how open and vitriolic he was with it. Especially considering that one of the exec producers of Downton, Rebecca Eaton, is an exec producer on Sherlock. So essentially, he's trashing his boss's taste in public. Not the most PC thing to do, but I guess an actor can get away with it? I’m a big fan of Cumberbatch, and Downton Abbey (which I admit is kind of crappy, but it’s such enjoyable crap!

I'm not sure where the lines are any more. I'm also constantly told I'm posh because I enunciate clearly. Hampshire born and bred. You said it better than I could have Amelia.

He's been to Eton but anyway he never complained about it per se, he said he despised the fact that every social class had to be brought up when someone is successful and it's a pity. By "faux pas" I mean with his crazy fangirls who worship him and how he indulges them a tad way too much (then again it's his right, good on him!)... I just hope he won't pester one day as they keep stalking him to his hotel and film studios and how they beg for a hug, not giving a toss that the man has been working 16hrs straight and just want to rest etc... *snap* and oops! Colin and Fassy are my 2 fave Irish actors! They seems very down to earth and indeed don't take themselves too seriously eh.
