David Tennant is the greatest Hamlet of our time. The fact that he hasn't been given a role that could earn him an Oscar yet is a tragedy.
His Richard II and Benedick are top knotch as well. Tennant has produced a plethora of Oscar worthy roles. But what makes him even more appealing is that he takes on roles he loves and wants to embody. Awards are not his focus. His reward, I've heard him oft remark is consistent employment. I just love that about him. In fact, he has never even won a BAFTA, the British Oscar. He will host the BAFTAs in two weeks, yet, and hold your hat, he has NEVER even been nominated for one.
And Macbeth. DO NOT GET ME STARTED! That man does everything superbly - from the broadest comedy to the subtlest drama to heart-rending tragedy. He deserves ALL the awards.
PS: What is even more praiseworthy is that Tennant turns down projects that interfere with his personal life. He prioritizes quality time with his children vs. taking roles that might bring more award visibility.
@Sasha05 Agreed 💯 There are many more like DES (I learned that he had lived doors diwn from where those murders were committed at the time they were being committed), Bad Samaritan, 80 Days Around The World, The Russian Poisoned (Litchenko - spelling) Jessica Jones even, What We Did On Our Holiday. The fact that he prioritizes his family, and stands to his moral compass, such as declining an OBE offered to be conferred by the Royal Family add to his aura, allure but also to his humility and lack of even a BAFTA nomination. YET, next week he will host the BAFTA, which demonstrates his sense of humor and magnanimous nature.
@@yubantwo2086 I agree totally on DT's prioritizing roles that raise questions about the human condition and his unwavering loyalty to family and his own sense of morality and just trying to be the best person he can, very rare these days. I did look up his awards on Wikipedia; Scottish BAFTA for Dr Who and The Escape Artist I think International Emmy for Des? didn't keep track, there were quite a few, but yes the Brit BAFTA not yet ... while there's worlds enough, and time ... great comments BTW.
I sometimes still giggle about the fact that Russel.T.Davies wrote a whole episode just for David Tennant to say the line "Judoon platoon upon the moon" because Davies knew David would have a hard time saying the "-oon" without reverting back to his Scottish accent 😂 what a gem
It's virtually impossible to find anything negative about this man. I adore him.
He’s the greenest forest in the world
He is really a one-in-zillions kind of actor. You can tell he really loves his work
A great man who is intelligent and talented. A man who adores his wife and children and appreciates all of the blessings and good fortune he has in his personal life and career. I enjoy his work and wish him all the best. Thank you David!
Well said!
He is epic, a great man and artist. And the fact he stays so humble makes him even more special. I knew him with Broadchurch, and from there, I've never lose sight of his projects.
I was lucky enough to spot an advertisement for a Doctor Who event taking place in NYC a few years ago. It was David, Matt Smith and Alex Kingston discussing Doctor Who. We laughed for almost 3 hours listening to them tell stories about Doctor Who. David is very humble.
It just so happened to be the weekend of New York Comic Con. As a result I was able to meet and get autographs with David, Matt and Alex. I got to chat with Alex for about 10 minutes. I also got to enjoy the Good Omens panels which were a lot of fun.
Near the end of the weekend, I found out that the reason for event and the appearance of David, Matt and Alex at NYCC. That Sunday was the first episode of Jodi Whitaker as Doctor Who. They showed it on a screen in one of the largest theater venues they had available where I watched it with hundreds of other Doctor Who fans.
It was one of the most enjoyable weekends I have ever had.
What David did with the role of Crowley is just fantastic
He has been my favourite actor for years......Love everything he does.
I fell in love with David when I saw him in Taking Over The Asylum, We are loonies and we are proud! Was a “secret chant” among our gang of school girls. Those were the days!
A very overview of his career despite occasional mispronunciations. I think David Tennant is the finest actor of his generation with his incredible versatility.
Started to watch this then realised I had to listen to an American reading David Tennant's words.
It’s a pretty good overview of one of the finest actors of his generation. But for the sake of grammar, Sir Terry Pratchett’s name isn’t “pruhTCETTE”, it’s PRAT-chet”.
And Crowley is pronounced like the bird “crow” in front.
Much Ado is beyond hilarious. It makes me laugh and thoroughly enjoy it every time I've seen it
It should also be pointed out that Crowley "doesn't love Queen songs" .. its just that any cassette tape left in a car for a long enough period of time .. will magically convert into a Queen album .. I imagine that Gaiman had issues with the footnotes .. which contain some of the funniest stuff
While that is totally true of the book, it felt to me in the screen adaptation/series that Crowley's character as played masterfully by Tennant has become inextricably linked with Queen's music to the enhancement of both. Interestingly Brian May turned down Neil Gaiman's request to use their music for the radio play of GO, but changed his mind for the screen version. Since in the book Queen's music is portrayed as a comical nuisance, it also would have been churlish, to use one of David Tennant's oft used words, to not properly honour it on film. Totally agree re: footnotes.
@@EvelynBaronand they didn't use the bikers ..
@@aidanmargarson8910 I know! Neil Gaiman said a) budget and b) some of the episodes would have been disproportionately long. Sort of glad it wasn't a slavish reproduction but perfectly suited to the medium. But seriously I'm on my 5th copy of the book, keep giving them to friends😊
@@EvelynBaronloved the book .. for mine i also laughed so hard at moving pictures .. and cried so hard at night watch
@@EvelynBaronalso a part of it was outrage that this person hadnt read the book .. so there is that
cassanova was when i first saw david, i was in love so much so when eccleston regenerated i stood and screamed 'cassanova!' infront of everyone in the room..
It is the Bentely in Good Omens that likes Queen. The Bentely will turn any cassette left in the car more than two weeks into a Queen's Best Of album. Crowley likes a wide variety of music, most especially "The Velvet Underground" with songs like "Pale Blue Eyes" "I'll Be Your Mirror" and " The Black Angel's Death Song."
Thank you! Also his mispronouncing of Sir Terry‘s last name is a travesty.
@@gabrielepresby9120 I can only imagine that this person has never heard Sir Terry's last name pronounced out loud, but it would be easy to research if they were not sure.
@@gabrielepresby9120 Did he do that? I couldn't watch an American reading a Scot's words out loud. Skipped forward and only found one place where I heard David's actual voice.
@@FlowersOfBlood he does quite a lot of this in other videos as well. Like nails on a chalkboard…
@@gabrielepresby9120 yikes!
17:15 if that girl looks familiar to anyone who has seen Good Omens, that's because she's Nina Sosanya who who played Sister Mary Loquacious. She also was the mom in the Doctor who episode Fear Her.
And one of his major love interests in Casanova. Love her work.
possibly the most iconic Doctor. But I have to say his Alex Hardy is the best thing he`s done so far.
How many performances of DT's have you seen to make such a pronouncement? Although Broadchurch is exceptional and may be your favorite, Recovery, Single Father, DES, Hamlet, Richard II, Much Ado About Nothing, and There She Goes, the special, are far superior for their range and depth.
@@yubantwo2086you forgot Good Omens. David is my Doctor but I loved him as Crowley. I liked Broadchurch but certainly loved him in Much Ado about nothing along with many of the other roles you mentioned. He was phenomenal as Kilgrave, so scary I was never able to watch that entire season of Jessica Jones.
@krab1791 I didn't forget Good Omens. Crowley is one of my all time favorite roles of his (or anyone else's. I am absolutely obsessed with that character). Your favorite Alex Hardy, I love as I love his Peter Vincent, the Vicar in Inside Man (not the movie but DT's role as the Vicar) and many more portrayals. I was naming what are the best of the best roles as far as range and emotional depth go (not to forget Campbell Bain in 'Taking Over The Asylum' and Casanova. Oddly enough (& 'don't know what this means), but as much as I admire his Kilgrave, I didn't find the character scary. I think that has to do with the fact that Tennant always manages to find and portray the humanity and authentic motivations in all of the characters he takes on. Episode 9 of Jessica Jones is Tennant's favorite from the series I heard him say in an interview. It's pretty intense, but it's worth going back and viewing to the end.
I know of no other actor alive or dead whose body of work encompasses the silly and suave, goofy and gorgeous villan and victor while effortlessly oozing sex appeal and empathy, to be found in one actor. That he's a humble family man void of airs with a great sense of humor expressing sincere interest in humanity, makes him all the more appealing and addictive.
I've just watched Deadwater Fell, he's utterly brilliant 👏
David is my favourite actor of all time i love him in every roll I've seen him in he is just fantastic
I wish I had discovered Doctor Who before I did. Why? Well, for one thing, I could've had more AWESOME birthday parties like my 60th... since it was at the same time as Doctor Who's 50th. I did discover it about the time the show was getting into some heavy syndication in the States. Because in the States there are times when November 23rd is on Thanksgiving, in our little Doctor Who club in Austin we'd have the party the weekend before, so those kids in the club who were in university wouldn't miss the party. It was always a costume party. Now, Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor, but Tennant is up in the top 5.
I discovered Who when I was in middle school. This was right around 50th anniversary. That was such a special time for the show
@@kaitlynreynolds5192 yes it was. I know there are those out there who don't like Matt Smith or Peter Capaldi, but I do.
@@kaitlynreynolds5192 I should add that I discovered Who at a convention, that was in 1982.
One of the great Doctor Whos. 😊😊😊😊
1:04:29 and then in 2023 they went and crushed everyone's hearts
Had forgotten about Des. Just ordered it since i can't watch it anywhere where i live. Thanks for the reminder
I know the end of S2 hurt, but it is the second act of a three-act 'play'. I suspect Aziraphale had to do something unforgivable so he can learn about real forgiveness in the next series.
@@ctwofirst6635 of cause. Still hurt though.
The Scottish accent is there anything more endearing I’m obsessed ❤ Thanks Bio this is awesome
I met David he was so cool and so nice to me he was exactly how i imagine him to be
Thank-You so very much for such a great biography of such a talented artist. Because of this well done piece I have subscribed to your channel
Well made video, thank you. Even I love and admire David Tennant I didn't think I will watch sucha a lengthy video, but I did, in on sitting, great job!
Thank you for the upload!
Such a great actor and even a more greater person. Added some new projects to my list :) Thank you for this impressively deep video!
Certainly he delivered the quintessential soliloquy ever. Every word is crisp, distinct, and deeply considered. Bravo!
David Tennant is one of the nicest guys on the planet. He still does cons. I met him 2 years ago!❤❤
He really is super nice and genuinely so with fans, as is Michael Sheen. Lots of cons seem to have such a fabulous atmosphere. There were one or two cringe worthy moments though in one con I watched on youtube where one person wanted a hug and a young woman wanted to run her fingers through his hair which he handled pleasantly but firmly. Stuff like that makes me so uneasy and sort of spoils it for people who truly respect his work and his privacy IMO. Just me -- there's one fan who keeps endlessly posting in such an obsessive and personally intrusive way, it feels a bit unhinged. Perhaps I'm just ancient and misreading simple enthusiasm but I remember the late Tom Petty of the Heartbreakers almost dying in his youth when someone pulled him down into the crowd, a nightmarish event that really haunted me. Sorry for rant and glad you met him, awesome!😊😊
I’ve met him a couple of times at cons as well & can agree. He’s lovely ☺️
@@EvelynBaron Fans can get a bit much. I was very nervous around David. I didn't ask him for a hug but I did get a photo of him with his arm around me. John Barrowman loves to hug fans though! He's a great strong hugger. Some people are more okay with it than others.
@@user-ms1pg2ok4i!am trying to reply round 3❤❤🛴🛴, something in the oven. 1st off your story is golden, cherish it I also admire him and respect what he stands for......... OK I knew through work and my sis in the music industry Tom Petty who was perilously near the stage early on and almost died. I wasn;t there but it was talked about for a long time and it haunted me. I have seen interactions where David Tennant is confronted by someone who goes too far and he gently but firmly cuts it off but my impression is that the world is a scarier place than he knows ... or possibly not. I didn't realize that like me he's been battling anxiety all his life so may be an oscar is in line. My comment came actually from a youtuber who compulsively posts about him under the guise of admiring his work, determined that he knows who she is ;because she is him and has 4000 followers. (This intrusiveness includes finding out the song playing when he married his wife. This is so not ok for anyone but especially far as I know a loving family man...) My skin crawls and she's launching something for the BAFTA awards let her keep to her channel and get help.
I think once again your experience was wonderful. Sometimes it's great to meet one's heroes. Forgive an old lady with some scary memories. Cheers tx for your lovely vr real story. Cherish it!
At the 1:15:53 point, when David is quoted as saying that you (I assume he means a former Dr. Who actor) spend your years away from Dr. Who, thinking of ideas, thinking how he would expand it, thinking of stories...that reminds me that Tom Baker said something similar.
...and did. Tom Baker wrote Scratchman, which is worth a read.
@@VeracityLH Yes, thanks, I've heard about it. I wonder if I'll be able to get a copy on this side of the pond.
Great video. I am going to add it to my good omens playlist.
Thank you for this!!!
A wa-hoo to david tennant, I appreciate him in any role, my favorite ever 🤙
this is a very nice video, well researched, thank you
i learned some new stuff through it which is always amazing if you thought you already knew the majority of information ^^
Awesome biography!!! 💜
I don't know why the makers decided to read David's words instead of letting us see and her the original footage.
tenth doctor and fourteen doctor is my favourite doctors from doctor who and l haven't watch good omens and david tennant is one of my favourite actors
My favorite doctor
First production I saw him in was Casanova. Thought, he's fab!
18:32 Yes. Yes he does.
nice one. A+ documentary.
Please do a video on Spielberg 🙏
They say that the actor who played the 9th Doctor looked like a young Peter Capaldi, but I believe that the mannerisms of the 12th Doctor are much more similar to the mannerisms of the 10th Doctor, which is why I have both the 10th and 12th Doctors down as my favorite regenerations of Doctor Who.
56:00 David auditioned for Hannibal the series !!! WHAT! That’s one of my favorite series ever made. 😆I would have also killed and eat somebody to see him play a character against Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal 🤣
We need this with Peter Capaldi!
I second, third, and fourth this motion! 🙋🙋🙋
It would be so great if you do a Michael Sheen’s biography in the future!!! Such thorough research and great presentation ❤
David and Doctor who ❤
I love David so loved this video thanks so much. ( your pronunciation of Glasgow ( glaz go) and Edinburgh ( edin bra) rankle just a wee bit here in Scotland lol. Again thanks you covered so much 👏👏👏
25 minutes in and I'm squinting at David and like... I'm sorry, it's so random but it looks like he's wearing an identical pair of glasses (the frames) I've worn in the past. Yeah many people wear the same stuff, choose the same style, but I don't look at people that often.
My immediate thought was: "Why is David Tennant wearing my old glasses?!" 😂
Bojangles Macduff. 🤣😂🤣🤣
HIS CHARACTER, CRAWLY, IN "GOOD OMENS" HAD EUCH A SEXY SWAGGER!!!❤💋💋❤💋💋
i will never understand how aziraphale could leave that!
David’s oldest daughter’s name is Olive. Not Olivia.
I wish you'd mentioned "United". You show scenes, but never mention the movie. It's one of my favorites.
Wait, did the intro just say a "touching Romeo" with the Yorick scene from Hamlet playing in the background?! /facepalm
I wonder why the narrator read all the remarks by DT and others interviewed. It woujd have been much more enjoyable to hear them speak in their own voices!
Oh, heck, I can just see it now. The Tenth Doctor played by Bojangles MacDuff.
My favorite Hamlet.
I'm torn between DT's Hamlet and Kenneth Branagh's, not fair comparison tho, since Branaugh's was huge budget made for big screen. DT's was more intimate, less spectacle, so rate them both.😊😊
I like David Tennant, he’s my second favorite Dr after Matt Smith (the all time best imho) but I like him quite a bit in some of his other roles, although it’s tough getting your brain to adjust that you aren’t watching the 10th Dr pretending to be a demon in Good Omens, hahaha. I mean, Dr Who is where most of us first met Tennant, so it always takes me 10-15 min for my brain not to think “oh hey, there’s the Doctor” in something that isn’t Dr Who.
Very interesting and seems well researched, but the narrator needs to invest a bit of time into learning the proper pronounciation of names. Sorry to be such a stickler, but it's Davison, not Davidson, and it's certainly not PratchEtt, just as examples. Also, in the introduction there's a clear mix up of Hamlet and Romeo.
Ther is müllers büro, which is a crime story musical with a detective movie.
I adored him as the doctor ❤and I love his Hamlet. Yea, love shakespear also😅 but he is easy to love. David that is don't know if shakespear is real😅 love his writing lol
Que si me vi un video de 1 hora 20 mins de la vida de David Tennant?
Yo: Siiiii
Very well done. Just one area needing focus-the pronunciation of quite a few words. Perhaps the VO could run over the text with someone knowledgeable prior to recording. Otherwise, well organized and informative.
You might want to do a little editing...that's his Hamlet we're seeing in your intro, not Romeo.
I caught that too.
Please make a video on SYLVESTER STALLONE
Sadly the american voice over and the missing original voice of David disrupt the documentary.
Blackpool was hilarious😂
I DID IT FIRST
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤
BroadChurch!!!
In the Who Universe .. the doctor's daughter is still out there .. doing things .. it's a wonder they haven't bought the character back?
please do a biography of his boyfriend Michael Sheen 🙏 this is amazingly detailed
How could "Cedric" be voted better dressed than David? Hugh Jackman is the only man who might look better. Or classic Sean Conery, or Johnathan Taylor Thomas. IMO........ 😅
Definitely needed to watch more of David's work.
please do jack nicholson
😮 Chiswick is _not_ pronounced "Chiswick" .. it's 'Chis-ick' the 'w' is silent. (Just as the "w' is also silent in 'Southwark' in South London - is correctly pronounced 'Suth-ark') ...sigh!
Maybe it's just a bad case of heartburn from that Third Dagwood Sammich I ate today, but....
Does anyone else see David Tennant, and think to themselves, "You know....He could be cast as a Younger Brother to Hugh Jackman's Character, in whatever movie you'd like.... and... everyone in the Industry would look at that, and the poor bastard would be typecast from that point forward as Wolverine's kid brother, Doctor Who!" Only problem is Daniel Radcliffe. Harry Potter Himself.
Now.... if Hugh, David, and Radcliffe got into a flick together... Here's a thought: a 80's Newhart Sendup: Hugh, David, and Daniel Radcliffe walk into that Vermont B&B, and Hugh goes..... "Hi I'm Larry... this my brother Daryl... this is my other brother, Darrell.:
Narrator really needs to learn how to pronounce Davison. There's only one D in that name.
I agree
People didn't like Bad Samaritan? I had no idea
Why the negative thumbnail?
Why couldn't the film makers have used clips of David Tenant and the other people themselves talking, rather than a constant voiceover?
Jesus I only heard his dad talking about I thought it was just David talking with a slightly higher voice
David could be a good James Dean
I wish I could like Tennant's Doctor, but for some reason, I never have. To me, his fanboy-ism over the character has always shined through way too much in that role. But anyway, I love Tennant in other roles. He's a good actor, I just dislike this particular role of his. The fact that it is so popular actually baffled me for a long time - I just cannot see what they are seeing in the 10th Doctor. I like the written version of the 10th Doctor fine and some writers write him quite well, but Tennant? Nope, do not like his version. It's so weird, when I do like the actor, but really do not like his most popular role.
By the way, completely love Broadchurch - also Olivia Coleman was also excellent in that series.
Well made biography.
Heh. Being an anxious person but yet being perceived as a confident one? I thought before that I'm pretty sure I would like him as a person if we ever met in real life, but this confirmed it. I am the same way - I must be great at bluffing considering how most people can't see how uncertain I am.
You are NOT pronouncing Terry's name right! Its prachet...no emphasis on the last part just one word!
I wish this had subtitles. 😢
Turn them on. Click the cc button at the top of the screen
Worked for me
18:30
1:13:47
1:16:59 yeah it’s fucking MacBeth
my youngest is fond of this career and i pray it works out for them. we are on non speaking terms now.
'Romeo' when a shot of 'Hamlet' is playing?!?!?! Doesn't bode well....
Випадково в рекомендаціях з'явився Біографер англійською.
Цікаво
Haha, a goblin is sso fitting as his first role. As compliment, he is good at fun morally dubious characters.
Also i think is the most poignant new dr who doctor, and none of the other was bad, eckleston is honestly great but the fallout with bcc did leave him with only a a season, and matt smith is, ok moffat as showrunner is too weird with the doctor and the moffatism criticism, can ruin otherwise great actors even stories , and capaldi, i only got again into when he did really took a page of moffat and went grounded last season, and cappaldi and smith are good actors.
But he probabbly is the face of new who , also ny eckleston bbc fallout.
when david was young.... why was he kinda
If you knew about the Church of Scotland you would know there atatude was normal.
Why can we not hear David speaking rather than the generic AI narrative?
Doctor who
Sorry, but already wrong in the first minute. He was both the 10th and 14th doctor... :)
LOVE❤ DAVID TENNANT❤ BUT HATE "DR. WHO"😵
