Matt Smith

Matthew Robert "Matt" Smith, born on October 28, 1982, is an English actor who has become a prominent figure in British and international television and film. His career trajectory is particularly unique as he initially aspired to be a professional footballer, playing for youth teams until a back injury forced him to pursue acting. After joining the National Youth Theatre and studying drama and creative writing at the University of East Anglia, he began his professional career on the London stage, earning critical acclaim and a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for his performance in the play "That Face."Smith's breakthrough role came in 2010 when he was cast as the Eleventh Doctor in the long-running BBC sci-fi series "Doctor Who." At 26, he was the youngest actor ever to take on the iconic role, and his charismatic, quirky, and energetic portrayal quickly won over fans and critics alike, earning him a BAFTA TV Award nomination. Following his time as the Doctor, he continued to showcase his versatility with significant roles in television. He played Prince Philip in the first two seasons of Netflix's historical drama "The Crown," a performance that garnered him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. More recently, he has captivated audiences as the charismatic but unpredictable Prince Daemon Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series "House of the Dragon."Beyond his television work, Smith has also built a notable film career, with roles in movies such as Womb (2010), Terminator Genisys (2015), the psychological horror film Last Night in Soho (2021), and the superhero film Morbius (2022). He is known for his ability to transform into complex, often larger-than-life characters, and he is scheduled to appear in the 2025 film "Caught Stealing."
