Matt Smith is Eleventh Doctor

by

The BBC made their big announcement yesterday and the eleventh Doctor will be…Matt Smith.

“Who?” you say.

Smith, a relative unknown, has been seen on stage in That Face, and on television in the BBC series’ Party Animals and Moses Jones, and in an episode of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, starring Who alum Billie Piper. 

Executive producer/writer Steven Moffat said they were blown away by Smith’s audition and they knew right away he was the right choice for the eleventh Doctor. 

At 26, Smith will be the youngest actor ever to play the centuries old time lord.  He takes over for David Tennant who is set to begin filming his final 4 specials this month.  Smith will take over the role for the 2010 series.
