Which actor played Sherlock Holmes in the films directed by Guy Ritchie?

Robert Downey Jr. played Sherlock Holmes in 'Sherlock Holmes' (2009) and 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' (2011), both directed by Guy Ritchie. His more physical and eccentric portrayal of the detective was a departure from earlier, more cerebral versions. Jude Law played Dr. John Watson in these films. A third installment has been in development for years.
