Episode 412 - A Touch of the Dramatic

Sherlock Holmes's true skill wasn't disguise, but acting. Curtis Armstrong makes the case.

“it was a dramatic one” [GLOR] 

One of Sherlock Holmes's traits was that he was a master of disguise. And in the very first short story, "A Scandal in Bohemia," we find him in not one but two disguises.

However, it's more than costuming that made him successful at subterfuge. Curtis Armstrong shares his insights on why Sherlock Holmes was able to fool so many people, including Watson.  And it's just a Trifle.
