No, you're crying!

Before joining the Doctor Who cast, Darvill had a number of interesting roles in various film and TV projects.

He appeared on British kids staple Sooty in 2001, played Mick Gallagher in the 2010 biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, and starred alongside Russell Crowe in 2010's Robin Hood.

Ok, "starred" is a strong word.

Directed by Ridley Scott, Robin Hood attempted to make the famous bowman cool again. It didn't, but hopefully Ridley and Russell had a nice time making it.

Darvill turns up very briefly as a groom in a set of stables (2:40 in the clip below). He's about two-thirds of the way down the cast list on IMDB and has a single line of dialogue, so that tells you all you need to know about his importance to the story.

Regardless, at least he gets to say he was in a Ridley Scott movie!
