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.
