David Tennant, ladies and gentleman!

So, a few weeks ago I started watching Doctor Who. It was high time. And I am so glad I did. I've got chills! It is fantastic! Then I thought - I will write about it.

David Tennant

As you may know, the fellow up there plays the main character in the TV series. Born in Bathgate, Scotland he has worked as voice and stage actor as well.

Should we go on a short trip around his roles?

Probably the role that first draw attention on him was in the TV mini-series Casanova

Or you may have seen him in Harry Potter ?

What about the stage ? David Tennat describes it as his "default way of being". Two of his title roles in the theatre are Hamlet and Richard II. What is more, Hamlet has a TV adaption.

Richard II

Hamlet

And of course, the Doctor:

David Tennant's childhood dream was to play the Doctor and says he even has his own TARDIS. When Tennant was cast as the Tenth Doctor, he wanted to use his native Scottish accent and become "the first kilted Doctor". However, this was possible only in one of the episodes.
David Tennat has also been voted as "coolest man on TV"

Interesting facts:

• Tennant made his professional acting debut while still in secondary school. When he was 16, he acted in an anti-smoking film made by the Glasgow Health Board which aired on television and was also screened in schools
• He decided to be an actor at the age of three.

 Random quotes:  

'I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.'

'I've been quite lucky in that I've managed to tick off a few of my dream roles, really. Beyond that, you wait for the next script to come in that will have the dream role that you don't know exists yet, I suppose.'

'Twitter! It's like being stalked by committee!'

Indeed, he is!
