All the Reasons We Love Martin Freeman

Updated on Dec 13, 2014 at 4:00 PM

Martin Freeman is having one seriously great week — not only did he hit out of the park when he hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time this weekend, but he also earned a Golden Globe nomination for his role in Fargo. While he might usually be getting outshined by his Sherlock costar Benedict Cumberbatch, we have to admit that we've always had a soft spot for Martin ever since his breakout role as Tim Canterbury in The Office. To celebrate his big week, we've decided to round up all the reasons we love Martin, from his small-screen characters to his hilarious behind-the-scenes antics.

We First Fell in Love With Him as Tim From The Office

Who Could Forget That Face?

And His Love Story With Dawn Was Truly Sweet

But There's More to Martin Than Just Playing Tim

He Can Be Goofy

He Can Be the Adorable Sidekick, Like in Sherlock

Or the Morally Questionable Everyman, Like in Fargo

Or the Unlikely Hero, Like in The Hobbit

Or the Romantic Porn Star, Like in Love Actually

And He Can Even Play a Hip-Hop Wannabe

He Can Get Pretty Sassy Behind the Scenes

He Knows How to Rock a Festive Sweater

We'll Admit, He's More Adorable Than Straight-Up Sexy

But He Can Get Really Sexy When He Wants To

Sure, His Hotness Might Be Eclipsed by Benedict's

But He Doesn't Let That Bother Him

He's Still the Same Lovable, Sarcastic Guy We Fell in Love With
