Cool. Smith is a pretty good actor, and its unfortunate that he hasn't yet achieved the success in film that his costar Karen Gillan did as Nebula in the Marvel films.
"I know its easy to be defeatist here because nothing has seemingly reigned Trump in so far. But I will say this: every asshole succeeds until finally, they don't. Again, 18 months before he resigned, Nixon had a sky-high approval rating of 67%. Harvey Weinstein was winning Oscars until one day, he definitely wasn't."-John Oliver

There's a tendency for Doctors to be typecast a bit and take awhile to start showing up in other roles.The Romulan Republic wrote: ↑2018-08-29 05:05pm Cool.

Once one has been the Doctor *so* recently, it needs to fade a bit before the work starts flowing again. Also I suspect a lot want a rest after the Who workschedule.

Smith hasn't been idle since he left Doctor Who back in 2013 - he did a part in the last Terminator film and one or two season's of a Netflix show called "The Crown" as Prince Philip. Been meanign to sit and watch that but never got around to it.

Re: Star Wars IX has a major new actor
I haven't watched "The Crown" (my mum's the watch-anything-royal buff of the family, and we don't do Netflix anyway) but I've seen a few clips. At least as far as looks go, he can do a scarily good likeness of HRH in his active Navy days, during and soon after WW2.Eternal_Freedom wrote: ↑2018-08-30 12:36pm Smith hasn't been idle since he left Doctor Who back in 2013 - he did a part in the last Terminator film and one or two season's of a Netflix show called "The Crown" as Prince Philip.
