His career nose dived after Dr Who


Everything he's done has been forgettable.

reply

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

reply

Nonsense. It's more than a toupee you want.

reply

Wow you must not be watching what he's done lately.
Broadchurch, and Jessica Jones were amazing.

reply

Check his stage work...

reply

Yeah but he never made an good films or movies in America.

reply

He chose not to go to America, partly because he wanted to focus on his theatre career, and partly because he's become a father to four kids since leaving DW and has to juggle demands of career and family.

So what?

America's not the be all and end all. American blockbuster movies are mostly pretty crap. Some British actors openly admit they only do American movies for the money.

reply

You clearly won't believe it but the American market is not the only market in the world. Moreover, the ruthless "Profit at Any Cost" ethic of the American market is absolutely repellent to many non Americans. Even if Tennant never worked in the US again, he would have had a fantastically successful career, with more to come.
