I've never seen that portrayal... and that image is nothing like I imagine the character from the books.
Pretty much regarded as definitive - except for the beak-like nose.
Edward Hardwicke's Watson was spot-on as well in portraying him as the hardened, intelligent veteran capable of mixing it with the tough guys and not averse to shooting people if needed.

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes - the definitive portrayal. So good you wonder whether other actors bothered to read the books.

That's his city attire. The rural attire might be what you re imagining. The deer stalker and all, which he does don when out in th country.

The other obvious test is Rambo or Rocky. It was Rambo for me.
Pretty incredible that Sly was able to front 2 massive franchises at the same time. Rocky all the way for me.
In terms of the definitive portrayal how about Batman?
West, Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck or Patterson? -

Yep.

He also nailed the look for the time he was heavily using opium. As you say, the definitive Sherlock.

West, Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck or Patterson?Bale. To me absolutely nailed the charisma/presence/physicality/charm……he was Batman. Keaton was surprisingly decent as was Kilmer. West was terrific fun in a different way. The rest were fucken awful

@canefan dr who is an interesting one, if youre into it then yeah you have "your" one....but i just went back to look and some of the Dr's has really short runs, only a couple of years...tom baker the longest i think
During my childhood Baker was the best. I remember watching reruns of Pertwee but he was better known to me as Worsel Gummidge. All the rest were meh and then I'd moved on
