David Tennant as the Doctor Who
"From that point on I absolutely didn't want to do anything else," says David. "It's odd when I think about it. I don't quite know where it came from or how I could be so sure that becoming an actor could happen, but it never seemed an unlikely or unusual thought to have. It was probably to do with being brought up to believe that things were possible and you could be whatever you wanted to be."
"It is a thrill to be part of it, I keep thinking 'It isn't real is it?'. It has been very curious to sit watching the titles roll with my name on them."

You need to change your poll to "I am completely in love with the man and wish I was married to him." Or possibly "I think David Tennant is the most gorgeous man on the face of the Earth." Yeah. That sounds good.

I think David Tennant is so adoreable for me. I hate to say this folks. I had a dream about him alot of times. And he's mine forever. I wouldn't mind if I see him in real person. And tell him that I would like to joy him in his fansite. And help him to talk in my language also. And I will tell him that my dreams about him is putting to him. And I said to myself. I wouldn't mind if I get married to him.:-D. I could cuddle into my arms. I wouldn't mind that I will call myself Mrs. Doctor Who. This will be my last time watching Doctor Who without seeing David Tennant on the Doctor Who.
