Peter Capaldi Fact File:Background:
Peter Capaldi was born on the 14th of April 1955 in Glasgow, Scotland.
He as acted in many films and TV show's such as Midsomer Murders or Waking the Dead. Although, his most notable role is Malcolm Tucker in the comedy series The Thick of It, which he was in from 2005 to 2012 along with the spin of film In the Loop in 2009.
Most recently he was cast as the twelfth incarnation of The Doctor in Doctor Who, taking the role over from Matt Smith (Who will be missed), and it has been hinted that Capaldi's Doctor may be a mixture between the Seventh and Ninth Doctor although from what I've seen he's wearing the Master's cape.
Capaldi was known to be a fan of Doctor Who during his youth. At age 15, he wrote a letter to Radio Times entitled "Dalek-Builders" were he showed his love for the show. During 1976 a issue of Doctor Who International Fan Club Magazine, printed a piece of Capaldi's art showing a TARDIS.
He is an award winning actor and director winning an academy award for his short film 'Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life' and also the Chlotrudis Award for his portrayal of Malcolm Tucker.
He has however starred in Doctor Who before as Caecilius in 2008, along with a role in Torchwood as John Frobisher a year later. Steven Moffet commented on the fact that Russel T. Davies had a plan for him which Moffet will hopefully show us, but he is lightly evil. (No, I'm not over Amy and Rory yet)
Do you have any thoughts about the new incarnation or any theories about this secret plan? Feel free to tell us in the comment section below!
