Benedict Cumberbatch’s audition for “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” (2013). Benedict and Martin Freeman sent their audition tapes at the same time for this film, while filming the first season of “Sherlock”! Apparently, Cumberbatch did not hear from the production of “The Hobbit” for nearly a year, before they confirmed he got the part.
