Benedict Cumberbatch spoke to The Globe's @thatkatetaylor about playing eccentrics and outcasts.

The actor is at the #TIFF21 to accept a TIFF Tribute Award and to promote two films – The Power of the Dog and The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.

“I play normal people as well,” insists actor Benedict Cumberbatch as he sits down for an interview during #TIFF21.

tgam.ca/benedict-cumbe…
In the new biopic, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, Cumberbatch plays artist Louis Wain – who fits his pattern of playing awkward geniuses for whom society would do well to make space.

tgam.ca/benedict-cumbe…
In the gothic period drama, The Power of the Dog, he plays Phil Burbank, a viciously macho cowboy – and his arresting performance is already generating Oscar talk.

tgam.ca/benedict-cumbe…
“I think those characters that are more unique pop, because we look into them as things that are other,” Cumberbatch observed of the various eccentrics he has played.

tgam.ca/benedict-cumbe…
“But what I’m always wanting to do is break that away and show what is universal about these people, what is relatable about these people.”

The Globe asked readers living with long COVID to share their stories.
This is what they said 🧵
theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
It has been nothing short of horrific. This demon virus chokes me in my sleep and there are days I can’t get out of bed. It has taken more from me than one virus should be able to. My life will never be the same.
- Natalie, 41, Fort Nelson, B.C.
I am a mother of a 20-month-old girl and I have issues holding her in my arms while standing. I don’t always have the energy to play with her.

The rate of sexual-assault complaints that police reject as “unfounded” has dropped by more than half since a Globe and Mail investigation put a spotlight on the issue five years ago.

theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Today, 8 per cent of sexual assaults reported to police are being closed as unfounded, a law-enforcement term that means the allegation is false or baseless.

This is down from the 19-per-cent rate that The Globe reported in its 2017 Unfounded series.

theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Back in 2017, the Halton Regional Police Service had one of the worst unfounded rates in Canada. Now, the Halton police have among the lowest in Canada.
