One of the longest-living cast members in Doctor Who history, Earl Cameron was born in 1917, and lived for over 100 years before dying peacefully over the summer.

His sole appearance in Doctor Who came way back in 1966, where he played astronaut Glyn Williams in the First Doctor serial The Tenth Planet.

Outside the Whoniverse, Christopher Nolan fans might recognise Cameron from his small yet memorable role in 2010's Inception, which saw him share the screen with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy in a dinghy Mombasa basement.

Cameron passed away on 3 July, aged 102.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
