Benedict Cumberbatch Saved A Family Using Power Of The Dog Skills
Like countless others in Hollywood, Benedict Cumberbatch is a method actor, which means that he'll go through great lengths to fully immerse himself into a character's psyche —and sometimes, those skills can come in handy. The 25-year-old actor revealed that he saved a family from a roaming herd of cattle by using the ranch handling skills he learned while undergoing production onNetflix's The Power of the Dog.

The Power of the Dog performed extremely well with critics, earning a total of 12 nominations at the 94th Academy Awards, including Best Director and Adapted Screenplay for Campion as well as a Best Actor in a Leading Role nod for Cumberbatch.
