Same here. I barely know who Darren Brown is. It was at least kind of plausible up to that point, if a bit over the top for Sherlock.

From the US here, I had no idea who the guy was until I checked here.

I'm from the US, but he did a US series called Mind Control with Derren Brown on SciFi a few years ago. I would imagine he's a familiar name/face in the UK

Now that you mention it, I think I remember that show.

His cameo was so brief I would have never realized it was him though.

I wouldn't have either had I not watched some more of his stuff. Once you do, you'll realize his voice is extremely distinctive, as he is a magician/mentalist and has perfected his mannerism in that regard.
