[Picture is a black and white photograph of the actor Jude Law playing Dr. John Watson in the Guy Ritchie "Sherlock Holmes" movies. He is a dapper man with light skin, short dark hair, a mustache and wearing a suit, a top hat, black gloves and holding a cane in one hand, and letting it rest against his shoulder. He is staring daringly at the viewer.]

Not Secret: Despite numerous therapy sessions and being in my late twenties, I walk with a distinct limp and have to sometimes use a cane to get around. I'm still fit and active, though, and try not to be embarrassed about it.

Secret: I can't begin to explain how bitter I felt when the newer adaptations did away with Watson's cane. I get that it's not practical and they were trying to give the characters a new spin but it just makes me feel like they don't want Watson to have any physical limits because "of course" he wouldn't be able to keep up with Holmes if he did.

Just because he - who am I kidding? - we have our limits, it doesn't mean we can't keep up with you.

Bonus Secret: I didn't always use a cane but to get through the pain of having it now, I sometimes pretend to be Watson out on my way to see Holmes. It makes it easier.
