10 Awful Films Doctor Who Actors Want You To Forget

7. Dungeons & Dragons

Tom Baker Dungeons And Dragons
New Line Cinema

Tom Baker is widely cited as the definitive Doctor and, after a record breaking seven year tenure aboard the TARDIS, it's no exaggeration to say that his iconic incarnation will go down in history as one of the TV's most popular heroes. The Fourth Doctor actor has the ability to steal any scene with his ever authoritative presence and most Doctor Who fans would've happily watched him read out the phonebook. But then Dungeons & Dragons came along and it changed everything you thought you knew.

In Tom's defence, it's not his fault that the film sucks beyond recognition and his cameo appearance as Halvarth the Elf is one of the only saving graces in what is otherwise a poorly envisioned pile of... well, you get the idea.

Based on the popular role-playing game of the same name, the 2000 fantasy film was slammed for being badly written, badly acted and... well, badly everything, really. And then you get the really angry critics who condemned it for being a racist throwback to black stereotypes. It all escalated very quickly.
