Star Trek: Darkness Endless-Benedict plays the villain john harrison (Khan). The audience is used to him playing the good guy. You really don't know how bad he can be until you tell the truth about the bad guy. If you know something about American movies, you should know that villains like Khan are actually the funniest characters and villains in the scriptwriting process. Although he is the protagonist, he has little room to play. However, Benedict's villain in this play is so lifelike that even the film director praised his convincing interpretation of the villain. He successfully overcame the stereotype of villains in American movies, made the role flesh and blood, and played a devastating soldier to the fullest.
12 Years a Slave-Benedict plays slave owner William Ford. Ford is not a white knight. Although he is kind, he is still driven by interests. He turned a blind eye to the tragic situation of black slaves for his own benefit. Although he is not the protagonist, Benedict shows this kind of human struggle and conflict well.
The Imitation Game-Benedict played alan turing, the father of computers, and won the Oscar for Best Actor for this film. Although Benedict often plays the kind of person who has a high IQ and lives in isolation, the role of Turing is different from the one he challenged before. Not to mention Turing's introversion, but his sexual orientation is a challenge, but Turing performed the tangled heart of the role very well, letting the audience know the life of the talented mathematician Turing.
In addition, Benedict also voiced many well-known blockbusters, such as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Penguin in Madagascar, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and so on.
