10 Famous Actors You Completely Forgot Were In Doctor Who

Not only is Doctor Who one of the most famous shows in the world, but it also offers a fun, fantasy experience unlike most other things on television. That must be why the series is able to attract such high calibre talent to appear in any capacity from a main role to a minor walk-on part. For instance, the late, great John Hurt jumped at the chance to play a one-off version of the Doctor in the 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor."

Yes, James Bond and Doctor Who have crossed over! Well, kind of.

Also appearing alongside Harewood in “The End of Time” was two-time 007 actor Timothy Dalton, who played the super-spy in both 1987’s The Living Daylights and 1989’s Licence to Kill. Fast forward twenty years, though, and Dalton played the corrupt Time Lord President Rassilon, a power-mad tyrant who was willing to destroy any planet in his path in order to win the Time War against the Daleks. Sadly, when the character returned in 2015’s “Hell Bent,” Dalton proved unavailable and the part was handed down to Donald Sumpter.

We’re not sure if this was the thinking behind his casting, but James Bond fans have long had a tongue-in-cheek theory that he’s actually a Time Lord, hence his ability to change his face and be played by different actors. Thanks to Dalton’s casting in Doctor Who, it’s actually true.
