Doctor Who Series 2 Cast: Where Are They Now?
7. Will Thorp
In the fantastic story The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit, the Beast – allegedly the Whoniverse's version of the Devil – possesses a member of a deep space exploration crew named Toby Zed, which leads to all sorts of nastiness later down the line.
Toby was played by Will Thorp, who did a terrific job acting as the human host of the Beast's evil influence. Before this casting, Thorp had appeared in 48 episodes of medical drama Casualty as Paul “Woody” Joiner, and the work hasn't slowed down since he was sucked into a black hole.
As well as appearing in numerous theatre productions, Thorp bagged the recurring role of Chris Gray in Coronation Street (below) between 2010 and 2011, and also appeared in a show that featured a lot in our Series 1 list – Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators!
For some reason, it's a magnet for Doctor Who alums.
He's currently starring in the Channel 5 adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small, a new version of the 1970s show that propelled Fifth Doctor Peter Davison to fame.
