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."

Michael Sheen

Recommended Videos

Michael Sheen is one of those actors who has managed to balance a career as both an awards darling in critically-acclaimed films and a supporting character actor in Hollywood blockbusters. Some of his most famous roles include The Queen, Underworld, Twilight and TRON: Legacy. 

If you don’t recognize him from Doctor Who though, that’s fair enough. Sheen appeared in 2011’s “The Doctor’s Wife” as the voice of House, the villain of the episode – a sentient planet who wanted to feast on the powerful time energy of the TARDIS. In fact, it’s easy to miss that it’s Sheen at all, as his voice is heavily modulated.

The actor appeared in the episode as a favour to his good friend Neil Gaiman, the cult favourite writer who made his Doctor Who debut with that installment. Sheen will also be reuniting with Gaiman – and former Doctor David Tennant – for Amazon’s upcoming Good Omens TV series, which is now in production.
