After months of speculation, it was officially announced that Ncuti Gatwa will be the next Time Lord following Jodie Whittaker’s exit – but what other projects has the star been in? DoctorWho NcutiGatwa
The exciting announcement was teased by returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies and the actor on Instagram, with a post featuring two heart emojis, a plus symbol and a blue square.
Speaking about the beloved role, Ncuti said: ‘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. ‘This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care.While we wait for further announcements from the BBC, we thought we’d share some valuable info on the man of the moment.Ncuti is 29-years-old and was born in Rwanda, but was raised in Scotland where he studied acting.
Although the star’s most recent casting makes him the first black actor to play the role as the series lead, there was a point where Ncuti considered giving up acting. Speaking to BAFTA at an online event last year, Ncuti explained that as a young star on the rise, he was running out of money and energy as the ruthless audition circuit took his toll, causing him to second guess his desire to act.
