Doctor Who: What Happened To Each Doctor After They Left The Show?
11. Patrick Troughton
Last Regular Episode: The War Games
Unlike Hartnell, Patrick Troughton appeared in dozens more movies and TV shows after his Doctor Who exit, with the actor choosing to leave the show in 1969.
His most famous post-Doctor Who film role was as Father Brennan in 1976 horror classic The Omen, where he was memorably killed off when a falling lightning rod impaled him outside a church. And no, he didn't regenerate. He also appeared alongside Christopher Lee in Scars Of Dracula, playing the role of Klove, the loyal servant of the titular vampire.
He also did an insane amount of TV work right up until his death in 1987, appearing in Inspector Morse, The Two Ronnies, and even long-running soap Coronation Street.
In addition, Troughton returned to play the Second Doctor on three separate occasions: 1972's The Three Doctors, 1983's The Five Doctors, and 1985's The Two Doctors (not the most creative of naming conventions). To this day, this is the most times a former Doctor has ever stepped back inside the TARDIS doors.
