July 19 2013, Published 7:52 p.m. ET
It's an international holiday today, or at least it should be. One of our favorite actors, the British and brilliant Benedict Cumberbatch is celebrating his 37th birthday today!
How can we begin to celebrate the man that has entertained us so much? Let's take a look at some of his best moments ever.
Watch: Blonde Benedict in the trailer for The Fifth Estate
1. Benedict used his plane time wisely and made a Harlem Shake video—with just his fingers! It's silly, but honestly I don't think I've seen a better one yet:

2. His gushing over Matt Damon! He recently told Vulture that he respects Matt so much and would love to have a conversation with him, "And then cut to a hot night where we're all getting drunk and dancing and having a good time!" Yes please! Are we invited?

3. Dare I say Benedict really showed his range as an actor in his message for the Comic-Con audience? Played during the Sherlock panel at the nerd fest yesterday, this video left all in the audience and well, on the Internet, intrigued:

4. Uh, this. Obviously.
5. He's officiating his friend's wedding! He told Vulture all about it, and let's just say we wouldn't mind being on that guest list either.
6. While we're at it why don't we just take a peek at where we left off on Sherlock?
