Benedict Cumberbatch cracked the Enigma to thwart the Nazis. Name the mathematician he portrayed.

Shockingly, actor Benedict Cumberbatch has been discovered to be a distant relative of Alan Turing, the mathematician and codebreaker he portrayed in The Imitation Game. In WWII, Turing cracked the Enigma code, and family ancestry researchers recently cracked the genealogy code, discovering the two were actually 17th cousins. No wonder Cumberbatch was able to channel Turing so well.
