Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is set to appear on The Graham Norton Show tonight alongside Diane Morgan, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Olly Alexander and RuPaul, to discuss his experience of filming The Power of the Dog. The Western psychological drama was released in UK cinemas in November, and has landed Cumberbatch an Oscar nomination for his role as ranch owner Phil Burbank.
During the show, which was recorded yesterday but will air this evening (Friday, February 25), Benedict revealed that he helped rescue a family from a herd of cows during filming for the movie, according to the Daily Mail. The 45-year-old actor told Graham Norton that he was able to 'part the waves' of the herd of cows after returning from shooting for the film last August.
Benedict also divulged to the host and other guests that he spent two months living on a ranch to get into character as director Jane Campion encouraged him to stay in role during filming breaks. Speaking to Graham, Benedict said: "Jane encouraged me to stay in character.
