10 Films That You Never Realised Doctor Who Actors Were In
Small parts on the big screen.
An actor is destined to become a household name as soon as they're associated with Doctor Who and, amidst their ongoing liaisons with TV's favourite Time Lord, it's easy to forget that they actually had careers before they stepped aboard the TARDIS. Well, most of them did, anyway. Admittedly, though, these are often 'bit' parts at best. Fame certainly is a fickle friend and it's hard for any working actor to raise their profile. The best way to start usually involves making a name for yourself by appearing in any TV or film you can get your hands on. As this list will show, some of these turn out to be blockbuster epics - and as such just having your name attached to it earns you extra brownie points - while others are destined to become universal flops. For Doctor Who alumni, the process is no different. Winning a coveted prize in TV's most popular drama is one of the most prestigious accolades in the industry but for many of them, the road to get there was as turbulent as the fate of some of their previous performances. Here are 10 films that you never realised Doctor Who actors were in and, as you'll soon discover for yourself, they themselves probably wish hat these didn't exist either. It's made them who they are today, though, which is what really counts... right? Let's begin!
