Dr Who: Matt Smith

Yes, I am a Dr. Who tragic. I grew up on this show and love it today. So, who will place David Tennant as the new "Who" - Matt Smith.

From Yahoo News:
"The BBC says little-known actor Matt Smith will take over the title role in the long-running sci-fi series Doctor Who. The 26-year-old is the 11th actor to star in one of Britain's most popular TV shows - and the youngest.

Smith has appeared on the London stage and starred in the political TV drama Party Animals, but is a relative unknown. The new role will make him a major star in Britain, where Doctor Who regularly draws 10 million viewers an episode.

Doctor Who was first broadcast in 1963 and centres on a time-travelling alien known only as The Doctor who can regenerate into new human bodies.

Current star David Tennant plans to leave the show after four special episodes this year. The BBC said on Saturday that Smith will take over in 2010."
