A Doctor Who fan since childhood, Tennant first featured on 'Doctor Who' as the voice of the Caretaker in the animated 'Scream of the Shalka' in 2003. His stock has really risen since, and he was in the most recent Harry Potter movie, 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'.

Making an impressive debut in the Christmas 2005 episode of 'Doctor Who', Tennant continues the recent tradition of Doctors with regional accents. Beginning with William Hartnell, and right up to Colin Baker, all the TV Doctors spoke with no discernable accent. Sylvester McCoy's Scottish brogue broke the mould, and, following on from Christopher Eccleston's Mancunian accent, we have Tennant playing a sort of chirpy Cockney Doctor, still possessing the Doctor's humanity, but also obviously not one to be messed with, viz, his stony-faced "No second chances" comment, after he had dispatched the Sycorax leader, who had broken his word.
