Jonny Lee Miller: That element was a huge attraction for me. I always feel that characters that have problems and issues to deal with are more fun to play, especially if you’re trying to balance that with a supposed genius for something and then make him not comfortable with that. You know, give him an edge. It leads into the relationship that Holmes and Watson have. That’s a plus all round for me to bring some darkness into it and have some problems, and it’s something a little more edgy that we don’t necessarily see too much on network television. So, I was very happy about that.
