The actor who plays the Doctor in Doctor Who varies depending on which incarnation he is on. Currently, the actor playing The Doctor is the endearing Matt Smith, and the one before him was David Tennant-my personal favorite. Here is a list of all the actors to play the Doctor, each of them brilliant in my opinion. William Hartnell - 1st Doctor Patrick Troughton - 2nd Doctor Jon Pertwee - 3rd Doctor Tom Baker - 4th Doctor Peter Davison - 5th Doctor Colin Baker - 6th Doctor Sylverster McCoy: 7th Doctor Paul McGann - 8th Doctor in the 1996 Televison Movie. David Tennant- 10th Doctor Matthew (Matt) Smith- 11th Doctor
Matt Smith was cast as the Eleventh Doctor in January 2009 to replace David Tennant, who announced his departure in October 2008.

He made his first full debut in the first episode of Series 5 - The Eleventh Hour (aired 3rd April, 2010).
