Nigel Bruce plays Watson as a bumbling character, which is one of the reasons I like but don’t love the series. 根据互联网电影数据库, Bruce was typecast early on as a the bumbling English aristocrat. Bruce worked for a stockbroker before serving in World War I. He was injured and wheel chair bound but made a full recovery. 多年来，, he was part of the cricket club that also included Boris Karloff that introduced the sport to Hollywood.
