Only two actors played multiple Doctors.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Scottish actor Sylvester McCoy recently acknowledged David Tenant as the only other actor to achieve a rare accomplishment in Doctor Who. The classic British sci-fi show, which originally premiered in 1963, follows the many adventures of a powerful being known as the Time Lord.
Speaking to RadioTimes about his career and his time on Doctor Who, McCoy recalled briefly playing the Sixth Doctor before the Seventh Doctor. He admits taking pride in being the only one to have played the two Doctor incarnations. He then jokingly acknowledges that the feat will now be shared with Tennant, who was recast as the Fourteenth Doctor after portraying the Tenth Doctor years ago.
“Yes, you noticed, did you? [I'm] surprised, because they dressed me up. They put me in Colin’s costume. And they put a wig on me and I looked like Harpo Marx. I'm an actor who’s played two Doctors! I was the only one - but there's another one come along, damn him! David! David [Tennant] is now playing Doctor number Ten and Fourteen. I was Six and Seven - I got there first!"
Why Is David Tennant Returning But As The Fourteenth Doctor In Doctor Who Tennant portrayed the Tenth for three seasons, alongside an appearance during the 50th-anniversary special. Since his time on Doctor Who, he soon established himself as one of the most talented actors in the industry. He has exemplified himself in several shows and movies, portraying the complicated and sinister Kilgrave in Marvel's Jessica Jones and the demon known as Crowley in Prime Video’s Good Omens.
However, it was confirmed last year that the British actor would return to the Doctor Who series as the Fourteenth Doctor while Ncuti Gatwa will take over as the Fifteenth Doctor in season 14. In the Doctor Who season 13 finale, Tennant officially returned during the regeneration sequence as Jodie Whitaker concluded her run as the Thirteenth Doctor.
