News on Shuffle would like to give a great big birthday shout-out to the talented Mr. David Tennant. He has been in a number of things (both television/movies and on stage) but is mostly known for his role as the 10th Doctor on the British Sci-Fi series, Doctor Who. (We swear that it is merely a coincidence that this happens to fall on the day after we start blogging avidly about the joys of Doctor Who).
Tenannt's portrayal of the Doctor has been held by some to be the greatest of all. To many he is "The Doctor". This is why Matt Smith was going to have his work cut out for him. He would be replacing the man who brought many new people into the fold and defined who the Doctor was for them.
While his time as the Doctor was certainly memorable, Tennant has done many other extraordinary things as an actor. He was recently in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Hamlet as the title role, and he was also in the the docu-drama Einstein and Eddington, as Arthur Eddington. Oh, and fun fact: he played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The more things I see David in, the more I come to realize his acting is a lot like the Doctor: mad but brilliant. To celebrate, here is a David Tennant/10th Doctor Tribute. Song is "I Gotta Feeling"
