10 Star Wars Actors You Never Knew Were In Doctor Who
Most Doctor Who fans know Peter Cushing played Dr. Who (not The Doctor) twice, in the feature film Dr. Who and the Daleks, as well as the adaptation Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. Most also know of his star turn as the unforgettably evil Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Many may not know that between movies, TV series, video games, cartoons, and audio dramas, Doctor Who and Star Wars share many more actors in common. These ten actors have been pulled from both the the classic years and new series, as well as the original trilogy and it's prequels. While Doug Bradley doesn't count in the confines of this list, due to just doing voice acting, it should be mentioned that besides his turn as Talbot in the Big Finish Productions audio drama Pier Pressure, and The Emperor in video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, he portrayed Pinhead in almost every Hellraiser movie! And, while he isn't an actor, Nick Gillard not only was a stunt arranger on the classic Sylvester McCoy story, Silver Nemesis, but he also invented the high octane style of light-saber dueling seen in the Star Wars prequels! How cool is that? The Doctor has been to many other universes and timelines, including Doctor Who/Star Trek comic books, but this may be the closest we'll ever get to a proper Star Wars crossover. Let's begin, shall we? Hm?
