“I think Benedict has that mix of sensitivity and strength and there are not too many people who can portray a genius and for it to become believable. There's so much inner life that he conveys. You really believe that Benedict becomes Alan Turing and you one hundred percent believe that this man is capable of generating these big ideas." - remembers the director.

Moore recalls his excitement of finding the match for Alan. "Benedict coming on board felt like winning the lottery. He is in almost every frame of this movie. There are very few actors in the world who can handle a part like that. Turing is not only a genius, but he's gay. He's not only gay, but he's closeted. He's not only closeted, but he has to win the Second World War. Benedict doesn't just convey the intelligence of Alan Turing, he embodies it. His level of devotion to this character is a level of devotion that would rival Alan Turing himself."

"You have to believe the actor playing Alan is incredibly intelligent – and with Benedict that's never in question" echoes Ostrowsky. (a teljes feljegyz�s itt olvashat�)
