Doctor Who 2005 Cast: Where Are They Now?

11. Simon Pegg

Doctor Who Simon Pegg
BBC

Since he's one of the most recognisable British movie stars out there, the post-Doctor Who career of Simon Pegg probably doesn't need much of an explanation.

Unless, of course, you haven't been to the cinema in the last 16 years. And if that's the case... why would you do that to yourself?!

He's appeared in some of the biggest Hollywood hits of the 21st century, including the rebooted Star Trek trilogy, the Mission Impossible series, a couple of Ice Age films, a Star Wars: The Force Awakens cameo, and - best of all - the genius Cornetto Trilogy, which ran from 2004's Shaun Of The Dead, to 2013's The World's End.

Looking ahead, he and Tom Cruise have got a couple more Mission Impossible movies on the docket, and - weirdly - an Ice Age spinoff series centred around Pegg's character, Buck the weasel, is in the works for a 2022 release on Disney+.

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!
