Peter Cushing is my second favorite actor to play Sherlock Holmes. Much like Jeremy Brett he took great care in staying true to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original tales. Although, this wasn't completely the case with his first attempt as Holmes in Hammer's adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, he did finally get a chance to play Holmes the true to the character when he took over BBC's Sherlock Holmes series from Douglas Wilmer in the late 1960's. I'm very happy they're going to be releasing some of the surviving episodes of the BBC Series with Peter Cushing around December.
