Sherlock Actor Protests Russia Anti-Gay Movement: Mark Gatiss Supports LGBT Equality On Twitter As Season 3 Continues Filming
As "Sherlock" continues filming for season 3, writer , actor, and producer Mark Gatiss is taking the time to voice his support for the gay community and against Russia's anti-gay movement.
Through his recent Twitter activity, one thing is certain, playing Sherlock Holme's brother is not the only thing Mark Gatiss cares about.
Very sad I can't be at the protest today. "The bitch that bore him is in heat again". #LGBT

Currently, Mark Gatiss is working on both "Sherlock" season 3 and "Doctor Who" 50th Anniversary Special.
On top of that, Mark Gatiss has joined "Game of Thrones" season 4 in a yet unnamed role.
During a recent chat at Comic-Con with CNN, Gatiss reveals he is already done filming for "Game of Thrones," which may be a relief for "Sherlock" fans since production is still underway for the BBC darling.
"What's interesting is that it's such a huge, sprawling cast and people seem to be there for ages, but they actually shoot two or three days and that's it," says the actor, who portrays Mycroft on "Sherlock."
"Once it's put together it looks like everybody must be there for weeks and weeks and weeks."
But despite filming being completed for "Game of Thrones" season 4, Gatiss is unwilling to divulge any information on his character.
"I'm not allowed to tell you," admits the "Doctor Who" writer.
"I've done my filming. I'm glad I didn't tell anyone before this since it's a big secret. The announcement of [my casting] was obviously timed for Comic-Con and I'm rather overwhelmed with the reaction, honestly. It's a great show with so many brilliant people in it."
Between "Sherlock," "Game of Thrones," and "Doctor Who," Gatiss seems perfectly prepared for the fandom that will hit once season 4 rolls around.
"My life is entirely composed of fan obsession, so this is just another one to add to it. It's all a Venn diagram."
