Doctor Who actors: The early years

[Cutter John]

No real point to this, but I thought this collection of photos of all twelve Doctors in their youth was too much fun not to share.

Young Hartnell looks like he's ready to whip someones ass. And the hippy McCoy is a bit mind boggling.

 

[Christopher]

And of course Davison and Smith look exactly like they looked on TV anyway...

Eccelston, on the other hand, is far more attractive than I would have imagined and Pertwee looks like he could be a relative of Arthur Darvill's

^Funny, I was thinking he looked like he could be a relative of Sean Pertwee.

Wait a moment...

Nah, can't see that at all

I can definitely see David Troughton from Peladon in that Trioughton Pic

The only one I wouldn't have recognized was McGann. He sure changed a lot.

Capaldi looks straight out of a 1973 issue of Tiger Beat.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

McCoy looks like a Beatle in that pic.

And I think Hartnell was born a grumpy old man.

 

[Mr Awe]

That was fun! I was surprised at how different Tennant looked!

 

[Doctorwhovian]

Patrick looks like a bit like Anthony Ainley, almost.

 

[Redfern]

Well, for all those fans who've wondered how the Doctor might have looked during his Prydonian Academy days, now we know.

Sincerely,

Bill

Hartnell was one serious kid.

I love McCoy's 'stash!

 

[FalTorPan]

Hartnell had a difficult childhood.

Based on that picture, if the young Hartnell flashbacks had made it into An Adventure in Space and Time James McAvoy should have played him.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

McCoy looks like a hippy professor.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

Seeing young Tom Baker with a skinnier head reinforces what I've already thought for a while about Tom Baker looking far more like Jon Pertwee than we usually credit.

David Tennant looks slightly stoned.

Christopher Eccleston has Zack Morris hair.

Peter Capaldi has an awful lot of frowning to do. I think he's certainly one of those actors that gets better looking as he gets older. (Joining a list that already included Paul McGann, Robert Downey Jr., & Maggie Smith.)
