The 29-year-old will become the 14th Doctor afterHe told Sky News he was"feeling very, very excited, very honoured", about the move, adding:"I think it's such an honour this role.
"It's a British institution and it means so much to so many people and yeah Jodie is lovely, incredible and going to be a very, very, very difficult act to follow." Gatwa, a Scottish actor who was born in Rwanda, stars as Eric Effiong in Netflix's Sex Education, a role for which he won a Scottish Bafta in the actor category."There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and, of course, a little bit scared.
"I will endeavour my upmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger.
