The BBC have just announced that the next actor to play Doctor Who will be Matt Smith ...
'Smith appeared in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys at the National Theatre in London, and alongside Christian Slater in Swimming with Sharks in the West End.
Two of the productions in which he featured - That Face and On the Shore of the Wide World - won Laurence Olivier Awards.
The 26-year-old's teenage plans to be a footballer were scuppered by a back injury so he studied drama and creative writing at university.
His TV appearances have included the BBC's versions of The Ruby in the Smoke and The Shadow in the North, both of which featured Billie Piper.' (bbc.co.uk)
