Matt Smith has broken a 60-year Doctor Who trend with his success after his stint as the Time Lord, and that is likely to continue with Ncuti Gatwa.
Matt Smith’s success has only grown since his time in Doctor Who, and this breaks a bizarre 60-year trend. Matt Smith became the Eleventh Doctor in 2009, taking over from David Tennant, and first appeared in 2010 during Doctor Who season 5, episode 1, “The Eleventh Hour.” Matt Smith’s Doctor proved popular as he continued to mix and develop the light, joyful Time Lord with darker, tormented notes, and plenty of new villains emerged to fight him.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Doctor Who is a British television classic, and has enjoyed global success with a huge fan following. Even before the Doctor Who revival with Christopher Eccleston, Doctor Who already had decades of beloved episodes, and these are still watched and discussed during the modern era. Doctor Who’s success is passed on to actors who become the titular Time Lord, and they become renowned for their time in the TARDIS.
The Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, has been successful within British TV thanks to credits in All Creatures Great and Small and Gentleman Jack, while Sixth Doctor actor Colin Baker continued in the sci-fi realm with low-budget projects such as The Airzone Solution. Like their predecessors, neither broke onto a global level.
Why Ncuti Gatwa Can Follow In Matt Smith's Footsteps After Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor regenerated, the familiar-looking Fourteenth Doctor will be passing on his sonic screwdriver to Ncuti Gatwa during the Doctor Who 60th anniversary special episodes. Unlike some previous Doctors, Gatwa already commands a global audience thanks to his role as Eric in Netflix’s Sex Education. This means he could easily follow in the footsteps of Matt Smith’s post-Doctor Who success.
Like Smith, Gatwa is joining Doctor Who at a relatively young age, but already has more notable acting credits under his belt, creating a built-in advantage. Even more importantly, Gatwa's Doctor Who will have a bigger reach, as it will be available on Disney+ and not limited to delayed international releases outside the U.K.
