History Creator / DavidTennant

Tennant married Creator/GeorgiaMoffett in December 2011 and has ''five'' children with her: Olive, Wilfred, Doris, Birdie, and Ty (Moffett's older son whom he also adopted). Moffett not only played Tennant's OppositeSexClone in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter "The Doctor's Daughter"]] but is also ex-Doctor Creator/PeterDavison's real-life daughter. (And guess who inspired Tennant to go into acting?)

*** Even the otherwise more subdued Fourteenth Doctor isn't immune to some occasional scenery chewing. [[Recap/DoctorWho60thASTheGiggle Your fight is with]] ''[[Recap/DoctorWho60thASTheGiggle HIM!]]''

* ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'' (2015)- Igor the door

** As the Tenth Doctor on ''Series/DoctorWho'': [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars THE LAWS OF TIME ARE]] ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars HIS!]]'' '''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars AND THEY WILL OBEY HIM!]]'''

** He was approached to do one more series as the [[Characters/DoctorWhoTenthDoctor Tenth Doctor]] in ''Series/DoctorWho'' when he was considering his departure from the franchise. While he turned down the offer, he stated that he would've gladly stayed on with the knowledge that Creator/StevenMoffat was going to be the new executive producer. Had this happened, "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour The Eleventh Hour]]" would have started with Amy Pond meeting an injured Tenth Doctor, only for Amy to meet him years later unscathed. The season finale would have revealed a TimeyWimeyBall showing that she had met Ten at the end of his life, ''[[http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/what-if-tennant-had-stayed-for-series-5-63702.htm on the brink of regeneration.]]''

* ''Film/{{Recovery}}'' (2007)- Alan Hamilton

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: His Beatrice in 2011's ''Much Ado'' was Creator/CatherineTate. This three years after she'd flown in the TARDIS with him as Donna Noble. This was neither the first nor the last time he and Tate would reunite to act opposite each other.

** In ''Series/TheEscapeArtist'', where he plays a mildly amoral defence barrister, that ends up going through a very brilliant case of HeWhoFightsMonsters.

** In ''Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}}'', Kilgrave is an utterly sadistic [[MindRape Mind Rapist]], who is quite possibly the most disgusting villain in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. His natural charm is used to advantage here to play up his FauxAffablyEvil nature.

** He's a big ''Franchise/StarWars'' fan, and played a role in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars.'' During which he got into a pissing match with ''R2-D2''. He then got to reprise said role in ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' and be the titular Jedi's droid sidekick.

** As the Doctor on ''Series/DoctorWho'': THE LAWS OF TIME ARE ''HIS!'' '''AND THEY WILL OBEY HIM!'''

A Lothian-born bloke, Tennant is probably best known for portraying the [[Characters/DoctorWhoTenthDoctor Tenth Doctor]] in ''Series/DoctorWho'', later returning as the Fourteenth Doctor. Other famous roles of his include Kilgrave in ''Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}}'', Alec Hardy in ''Series/{{Broadchurch}}''[[note]]He also played the same role in the less-successful American remake, retitled ''Gracepoint'', meaning that he was playing different versions of the same character concurrently in two different shows on both sides of the Atlantic[[/note]], Crowley in ''Series/{{Good Omens|2019}}'', and Barty Crouch Jr. in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'', the lattermost being a considerable display of his... "[[SlasherSmile eager]]" face (his face is very expressive, as you can see in any of his TV or film work). He additionally played "Dangerous Beans" in a BBC radio adaptation of the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Literature/TheAmazingMauriceAndHisEducatedRodents'', managed to get a role as a ''[[AttractiveBentGender very]]'' convincing pre-op trans barmaid on ''Rab C. Nesbitt'', and unsuccessfully auditioned several times for ''{{Series/Taggart}}''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (2023) - Pa Macweldon

* {{Defictionalization}}: Due to the Tenth Doctor lighting the cauldron for the London 2012 [[UsefulNotes/OlympicGames Olympics]] in the episode "Fear Her", there were online petitions to have Tennant light it for real. (Such as [[http://www.petitiononline.com/Drwh2012/petition.html this one.]]) The fans possibly did have something to do with a Doctor actually carrying the Olympic torch, but it was Matt Smith instead of David Tennant, and Smith only ran for one leg of it in Cardiff instead of actually lighting the flame in London. Also, the TARDIS was heard warping in during the opening ceremonies.

** To a lesser extent as Spitelout, who is a brutish Viking and obnoxious [[StageMom Stage Dad]].

** He's a big ''Franchise/StarWars'' fan, and played a role in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars.'' During which he got into a pissing match with ''R2-D2''.
