The Doctor joins Star Wars as Matt Smith has been announced in an unspecified role


This should be fun!

Cool. Smith is a pretty good actor, and its unfortunate that he hasn't yet achieved the success in film that his costar Karen Gillan did as Nebula in the Marvel films.

There's a tendency for Doctors to be typecast a bit and take awhile to start showing up in other roles.

Once one has been the Doctor *so* recently, it needs to fade a bit before the work starts flowing again. Also I suspect a lot want a rest after the Who workschedule.

Smith hasn't been idle since he left Doctor Who back in 2013 - he did a part in the last Terminator film and one or two season's of a Netflix show called "The Crown" as Prince Philip. Been meanign to sit and watch that but never got around to it.

I haven't watched "The Crown" (my mum's the watch-anything-royal buff of the family, and we don't do Netflix anyway) but I've seen a few clips. At least as far as looks go, he can do a scarily good likeness of HRH in his active Navy days, during and soon after WW2.
