The best actor to portray the famous sleuth is Basil Rathbone.

He made 14 Sherlock Holmes movies with Nigel Bruce (Dr. Watson) in the 30s and 40s.

Many film historians and critics - including Alan Barnes — feel that Rathbone was the best at portraying Holmes.

Rathbone also portrayed Holmes on radio.
