A Lothian-born bloke, David Tennant was born David MacDonald, but had to adopt a screen name for [[One Steve Limit|guild reasons]] (the "Tennant" coming from the last name of Neil Tennant of [[Pet Shop Boys]]). Best known for being [[Doctor Who|The Tenth Doctor]], as well as the lead role in a ''[[Casanova (TV series)|Casanova]]'' miniseries. In ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]] and the Goblet of Fire]]'', his character is played by Brendan Gleeson for most of the movie, but Tennant does get a few scenes to display his..."[[Slasher Smile|eager]]" face (his face is wonderfully expressive, as you can see in any of his TV or film work). Played "Dangerous Beans" in a BBC radio adaptation of the [[Discworld]] novel ''The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents''. Did manage to get a role as a ''[[Unsettling Gender Reveal|very]]'' convincing pre-op transsexual on ''Rab C. Nesbitt''. Has auditioned 14 times for ''[[Taggart]]'' and failed each time.
 
In 2008, he played the eponymous character in the Great Performances production of ''[[Hamlet]]'' from the Royal Shakespeare Company alongside [[Patrick Stewart]]. The film adaptation can be viewed on [[PBS]]' [http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/episodes/hamlet/watch-the-film/980/ website.] In 2011, he played Benedick [[I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine|opposite]] [[Catherine Tate]] in a production of ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]''.
