It's really a shame he wasn't cast as Zaphod Beeblebrox.
I always thought he'd make a great Ford Prefect, myself, though the name isn't quite as perfect. Always looks like he might bite your jugular at any moment, doesn't blink quite often enough, skin seems to be pulled backwards from the nose, could plausibly be from Betelgeuse...
On preview - Mos Def was Ford, Sam Rockwell was Zaphod (an inspired casting move if there ever was one - just needed more dancing).

Are we really going to continue the meme of making fun of a man's name when he's said that as a kid he was bullied for it? That seems un-compassionate.

I was trying to think of what this reminded me of, and it was these "Higgledy Piggledy" poems that Games Magazine used to publish in the 1980s. Nonsense first line, double dactyl proper name (making it a cousin of a clerihew) for the second line. As such:
Higgledy piggledy
Benedict Cumberbatch
Cheekbones and dactyls together at last.
Once kids made fun of him
Now his fans worship him
Can adulation make up for the past?
