Welcome to Matt Smith Fan, your one and only source on the english actor Matt Smith. He is known for his role as the eleventh Doctor in the television series "Doctor Who", for which he received a BAFTA Award nomination. He also acted in several theatre plays, such as "Swimming with Sharks" and "That Face". His most recent projects are "Bert & Dickie" and "Christopher and his Kind".
While it’s no surprise that Tinie Tempah, a man as well known for his debonair sartorial sense as he is for his raucous beats, topped GQ’s annual 50 Best-dressed Men List for 2012, there were some surprising names to be found.
The GQ Best-Dressed Men of 2012
1. Tinie Tempah
2. Mario Balotelli
3. Matt Smith
4. Robert Pattinson
5. Andrew Garfield
6. Henry Cavill
7. Idris Elba
8. Christian Bale
9. Sergio Pizzorno
10. Ian Brown
The conventionally attractive were also bestowed with honours, with Robert Pattison, Andrew Garfield and Henry Cavill named in the top 10.
But not everyone’s personal sense of style was revered by the magazine. GQ also drew up a worst-dressed list which included the likes of US rapper Chris Brown, Jamie Oliver, David Cameron’s director of strategy Steve Hilton and Strictly Come Dancing star Robbie Savage, who the list concluded looks like ”a reject from a Mills & Boon cover”.
The panel of expert judges assembling the list included Gary Barlow, Tom Ford, Christopher Bailey and David Walliams.
The GQ Best Dressed Men List 2012 appears in the March issue of GQ, out next Thursday.
Here’s an interview made with Matt Smith in the National Television Awards (NTA’s).
Matt Smith wants a male companion when Karen Gillan departs Doctor Who.
The 29-year-old actor – who bagged the Male Drama Performance gong at last night’s (25.01.12) National Television Awards for his role as the Time Lord in the sci-fi series – admitted while he always thought he and Karen would have “different journeys” in the show, he won’t be following in her footsteps and leaving anytime soon.
He told BANG Showbiz: “I’m really pleased with the award. We always try to do the best every day and try to improve the show as best we can.
“I wouldn’t mind a male companion now that Karen has left. I’ve always believe me and Karen would have different journeys in ‘Doctor Who’.
“I’m sad she’s left, but the show is bigger than all the actors who have been in it. I have no plans to leave, though. I’ve definitely got a year left in the show and I’ll take it from there.”
Matt Smith wins just won a NTA (National Television Awards) of Best Drama Performance: Male for his role in Doctor Who. Karen won Best Drama Performance: Female.
The BBC have released the first official image for the Doctor Who Christmas special, which will be set during World War II with a young widow (Claire Skinner) and her two children. It is set to air on Christmas Day.
The episode will be written by Steven Moffat, and will include amongst the cast Outnumbered’s Skinner, who will play the young widow, Alexander Armstrong, Bill Bailey and Arabella Weir.
It was announced today that Matt will attend Stafury Convention.
THE 11th HOUR is a 3 day celebration of Matt Smith’s tenure as the 11th Doctor. The event will featuring:
• guest talks
• photo and autograph sessions
• competitions
• parties
• and much more
16-18 March 2012 at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole Hotel.
In an interview with VH1 regarding his future career prospects, current Doctor Who star Matt Smith confirmed he won’t be sticking with the role past the upcoming 2012/2013 season.
Smith will be heading to Hollywood – a place where handsome British accented men are very welcome – to try his hand at American cinema.
The pertinent line is this. “I’ve got another year of Doctor Who,” he said, “but then I’m certainly going to come and give it a shot, come and hang out in LA.”
Perhaps he’s just being modest about being asked back, but that’s unlikely. It seems like Smith has already decided that he’ll be done with the series after next season. This would place the regeneration of the next Doctor squarely in the 50th anniversary celebratory season of 2013. Smith’s successor will be the twelfth actor to play the part.
It’s especially telling if you consider the previous hints he dropped, seemingly accidentally in past interviews. When he was interviewed by The Radio Times this summer, in response to a question about type-casting, he said that he didn’t have any worries about that because “When I finish [Doctor Who], I’ll be…” he paused at this point, seemingly realizing that he was about to give something away, “Well, I don’t know how old I’ll be, but by the end of next year I’ll be 29 so…” then he paused again, seemingly realizing that he’d given something away.
It would not be unprecedented for an actor to only do three seasons as The Doctor, in fact it’s longer than the ninth Doctor, who only completed one season before leaving the show on poor terms.
When Matt Smith began in the role at the beginning of the previous season, he received a mixed reaction from fans, mostly because the previous actor, David Tennant was so well loved by audiences.
Since then, however, he has become one of the most popular Doctors ever – coinciding with the official expansion of the franchise into American television.
Previously, it was shown in the States nearly six months behind the broadcast in Britain. The current season of Doctor Who was the first to be broadcast simultaneously (to the day only) on both sides of the Altantic.
The 2010/2011 season of Doctor Who ended earlier this month, but there is a holiday special planned for the winter. The next season will span 2012 and 2013, but most of the filming will likely take place in 2012. Of course, it’s possible that the doctor could be regenerated mid-season – but this remains highly unlikely.
