This week, in honor of the 10th's Doctor's soon-to-be final appearance, I have decided to do a repeat, and go with David Tennant. He previously appeared on the list at #22, and he is here again at 134.

David Tennant (born David John McDonald on 18 April 1971 in West Lothian, Scotland) is a Scottish actor. In addition to his work in the theatre, Tennant is best known for his role in Doctor Who as the tenth incarnation of the Doctor.

Tennant developed his career in the British theatre, frequently performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He also starred in many BBC TV dramas, such as "Casanova," "Blackpool" and "The Quartermass Experiment."

In film, he has appeared in Stephen Fry's Bright Young Things, and as Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. One of his earliest big screen roles was in Jude (1996), in which he shared a scene with Christopher Eccleston, playing a drunken undergraduate who challenges Eccleston's Jude to prove his intellect.

In 2005, he was cast as The Doctor, the lead character in the long-running science fiction program, "Doctor Who." Since 2009, he has hosted "Masterpiece Contemporary" on the American PBS network. He is currently working on a pilot for NBC, called "Rex is Not Your Lawyer," co-starring Sendhil Ramamurthy.

I think I went with thumbs down last time; in case I didn't, I'll do so now. Does nothing whatsoever for me.
 
^ I find Orac Zen's Servalan avatar much hotter than DT. Anyhoo... I don't really know how to vote. Of course I'm fond of the Doctor and that makes me want to vote "up", I don't really find him to to be hot... I think I may over-think these things! :lol: I remember Tennant from years ago when we watched him in Taking over the Asylum. We would often comment on what a good actor "that kid" was! It was only after he'd been the Doctor for a couple of seasons that I realised where I'd first seen him.

I think I gave him a thumbs down last time too. He still does nothing for me; however, as I've since come to like him as the Doctor, I'll go with a "meh".
 
Yeah, my inner chick would go for this guy in a big way. Especially with the glasses. He's so... me. :D
 
Two thumbs way up. :techman::techman::drool:

Love him as Doctor Who, but I think it was Blackpool that sold him for me. And his little bit in Goblet of Fire, too. He's kinda hot when he's crazy!
 
I don't usually go for stick-thin guys but I'll have to make an exception for David Tennant. Yowza! :D
 
David seems to do generally well on these threads. :)


I will miss his Doctor, but I look forward to seeing his big send-off.


By the way, I need some volunteers for next week's thread, as I will be too busy this coming week. Any takers?
 
Two thumbs and two big toes UP!

Yet another actor who I initially thought was incredibly ugly, but once I became a fan and started watching more of his works and seeing more pics... Well, I'm definitely finding that my "type" seems to be tall, lanky geeky guys. LOL

I hope his new show gets picked up. I'd love to see him on American TV. Maybe he can finally use his own accent.


I can't wait for the Christmas Dr. Who, though. I can't wait to see how they send him off.
 
"Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" is gonna be AWESOME. Not only does it have David, but they've also got Jeffrey Tambor and Jerry O'Connell in it! (no one even knew Jerry was in it until he was seen on set the other day)

I just hope Comcast doesn't buy NBC, if the rumors are true that they want to completely get rid of the network... I almost get a feeling "Rex" could be to NBC what "House" was/is to Fox, and I hope it gets a chance to prove itself as such. I mean, from the description, it sounds like it's filling a niche that opened up after Boston Legal got cancelled. So, we'll see...

And unfortunately, David is doing an American accent for "Rex". But as much as I LOOOOVE his normal voice/accent, I'm quite intrigued by seeing him act with an American accent. Should be interesting.

Tall, thin and scruffy... and he's the Doctor.

I don't have enough thumbs! :o :devil:

That'd be a hell yeah!! :D
