Karen Gillan directing her first film.

[StCoop]

And writing and starring in it too.

You know, she's not even close to being my favourite Companion in the show's history but I've been very impressed by her post-Who career. She's certainly had far more success than either David Tennant or Matt Smith, mainly because she seems to have a lot more drive and ambition than more actors her age.

By the way if you haven't seen her short film 'Conventional' (which she also wrote, directed and starred in) you should check it out as it's rather good.

David Tennant and Matt Smith went on to Netflix. So it's not so bad?

Tennant will voice Scrooge McDuck for the new Ducktales show for quite awhile

Matt Smith has season 2 of The Crown. Apparently the cast members are expected to change as the queen get's older.

Karen just has the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but I don't see her in many things

She also did a western with Ethan Hawke and John Travolta

Smith at least hasn't had very much luck getting a movie career going, with pretty much every movie he's had a main cast role in bombing at the box office.

She also has the new Jumanji out at Christmas.

Doh I forgot about Jumanji.

Now that you mention it about Matt Smith maybe he won't make the full time leap to Hollywood.

He'll probably be more of a U.K actor who does T.V series and maybe a masterpiece drama

Not everyone can be Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch.


Unless he talks to his manager about a potential Marvel role.

Depending on which role could set him for life. Unless he's cast as "Henchman for low level villain"

 

[The Nth Doctor]

David Tennant also did Broadchurch which was so popular that it spurred on an American remake, Gracepoint, which he also starred in (but I think that one was less well-received).

Now you've got me thinking about possible MCU roles for Smith.

Gracepoint wasn't received well at all.

It was a very strange show. It was well-made. I liked the cast. The tone was very... skewed, and I often felt like I was watching a satire on Broadchurch. I wasn't supposed to sit there and laugh at it, but I did. It played humorously. Generally, I wanted David Tennant to get out of Gracepoint and nuke the site from orbit. If he stayed any longer, the little town would drag him down into its mire, too.

Weirdly, I thought Gracepoint had a better ending -- Tennant's partner's son actually did it (it was an accident), the partner's husband took the fall for it to protect his son (because he had his pedo tendencies), the partner leaves town with her children and realizes her son did it, and she decides she's going to cover it up and protect her son. Meanwhile, Tennant reconnects with his estranged daughter in San Francisco, schedules his heart surgery, and as he's talking to the daughter on the phone puts the last pieces together and figures out that the son, not the husband, killed Danny. He calls his partner, no answer, and he walks into the camera, a look of utter determination on his face. Fade to black.

There was no need for a second season. Tennant confronts the partner fifteen minutes later, he gets on with his life away from Gracepoint, and it's all over. I never wanted to spend another minute with any of those characters.
