10 Films That You Never Realised Doctor Who Actors Were In

10. Sylvester McCoy In Dracula

See the guy in the background tending to that horse? That's Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy in his role as Walter in the 1979 film Dracula. There's not really much to say about this other than the fact he's a butler. Yup. That's your lot, folks. Oh, and the film itself is pretty good, too. Directed by John Badham with an original music score by John Williams, it was generally praised for its performances - particularly Frank Langella as the titular vampire (though let's pretend the real star of the show is ol' Sylv) - and for the fact that it didn't lend itself so easily to self-satire as is all too common with other films of the same genre. It won the 1979 Saturn Award for Best Horror Film, too, for what it's worth. Something to get your teeth into.
