Andrew Garfield has become one of Hollywood's most underrated talents in recent years. He's always going to be best known for following on from Tobey Maguire in the role of Spider-Man but the British actor has also starred in a number of big box office movies including The Social Network and Hacksaw Ridge. Before all of that, Garfield made two appearances in Doctor Who alongside, David Tennant.
Three years before he appeared in David Fincher's The Social Network, Garfield appeared in the two-part story, Daleks In Manhattan and Evolution Of The Daleks. In the series, Garfield played the character of Frank, a young man who lived in New York City, Hooverville, in the 1930s during the Great Depression, who joins Mr Diagoras, a wealthy businessman looking for workers alongside The Doctor and Martha.
During press from his debut as Spider-Man/Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, Garfield spoke about his time on the show.
"I just remember David Tennant being a genius. And it was just really great fun to just be shooting in wales with all those fantastic people. Miranda Raison and the rest of that cast were just a fantastic group of people. And now my buddy, Matt Smith is playing The Doctor. We did one of our first plays together in London.
