Early life and education
editMatthew Robert Smith was born inNorthampton,England on 28 October 1982,[1]the son of Lynne and David Smith.[2]He has an elder sister named Laura Jayne, who was one of the dancers featured in the music video forEric Prydz's 2004 song "Call on Me".[3]Smith attendedNorthampton School for Boys.His grandfather had played football forNotts Countyand Smith had also planned to play football, having played for the youth teams ofNorthampton Town,Nottingham Forest,andLeicester City,[4]becoming captain of the latter's youth team.[5]A serious back injury resulted inspondylolysis;he was unable to continue with a footballing career.[5][6]
Smith's drama teacher introduced him to acting by signing him up for theatrical productions without his consent. After failing to participate on the first two occasions,[5]his teacher arranged for him to play the tenth juror in an adaptation ofTwelve Angry Men.Although he took part, he refused to attend a drama festival for which his teacher had also signed him up, as he saw himself as a football player and believed acting would damage his social life.[7]His teacher persisted, eventually persuading him to join theNational Youth Theatrein London. After leaving school, Smith studied Drama and Creative Writing at theUniversity of East Anglia,graduating in 2005.[7][8]With the National Youth Theatre, he playedThomas BecketinMurder in the Cathedral(2003) and Bassoon inThe Master and Margarita(2004). His role in the latter earned him an agent and his first professional jobs,Fresh KillsandOn the Shore of the Wide World,which led him to seek an agreement with his university so that he could graduate without attending lectures in his final year.[9]
Career
edit2006–2009: Rise to prominence
editSmith's first television role was as Jim Taylor in theBBCadaptations of theSally Lockhartquartet booksThe Ruby in the SmokeandThe Shadow in the North.[10]His first major television role came in the television seriesParty Animals,a BBC drama series about fictionalparliamentary advisors and researchers.Smith portrayed Danny Foster, a parliamentary researcher who was described as an intelligent but timid "politics geek" who should have moved on from researching at his age.[11]In an interview in 2007, Smith summarised the character as having a romantic outlook of the political world while being cynical elsewhere. He talked about his character's emotional and intellectual maturity; emotionally, he lacks confidence around women, though Smith portrays him as a caring and sensitive but "wry, sarcastic, [and] witty" romantic. Intellectually, Danny is portrayed as attentive and possessing a strong work ethic.[12]
During Smith's tenure inOn the Shore of the Wide World,the play transferred to theRoyal National Theatrein London. After finishing the play, he took on the role of Lockwood, a pupil in theAlan BennettplayThe History Boys.AfterThe History Boys,he acted in the teen playBurn/Chatroom/Citizenshipand withChristian SlaterinSwimming with Sharks,[13]the latter being his West End début.[7][9]In 2007, Smith appeared as Henry in thePolly StenhamplayThat Faceat theRoyal Court Theatre UpstairsinChelsea.The play transferred to theDuke of York's Theatrein theWest Endin 2008 and became Smith's second role there.That Facefocuses primarily upon alcohol and drug addiction in an upper-middle-class family after the paternal figure in the family leaves. As Henry, Smith portrayed an aspiring artist who left school to take care of his mother. To prepare for the role, the cast interviewed alcoholics and their families. Smith discussed his character's relationship with his mother in a May 2008 interview with theEvening Standard,saying, "The thing I find tricky to get my head round is why doesn't he just leave? An awful lot of it is co-dependency.... With Henry there's a real belief—or denial maybe—that he can change his mother. When she is finally pulled away from him to go to rehab, his identity collapses. His sacrifice has been for nothing."[7]The entire cast of the play was nominated for the 2008Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre,[14]and Smith garnered anEvening Standard Theatre Awardnomination for Best Newcomer for his role.[15]Upon its transfer to the West End, Smith's performance as Henry was highlighted as one of the positive aspects of the play by critics for theEvening Standard,Daily Express,The GuardianandThe Times.[16]
Smith auditioned for the role ofWill McKenziein the comedy seriesThe Inbetweeners,with the part eventually being given to comedian and actorSimon Bird.The show's writerIain Morrissaid, "We auditioned literally 1000 people [...] He was brilliant - down to the last two for Will, I think. I think he was a bit too dashing!"[17]Smith was cast inMartin McDonagh's black comedy crimeIn Bruges(2008), as the younger version ofRalph Fiennes' character, but his scenes did not appear in the final cut of the film.[18]He starred in the 2009 short filmTogetherand the filmWomb(2010).[19]
2010–2013:Doctor Whoand wider recognition
edit
The Doctor is a very special part, and it takes a very special actor to play him. You need to be old and young at the same time, a boffin and an action hero, a cheeky schoolboy and the wise old man of the universe. As soon as Matt walked through the door, and blew us away with a bold and brand new take on the Time Lord, we knew we had our man.
Executive producer Steven Moffat on Smith's casting.[20]
Smith was revealed as theEleventh Doctorin the British science-fiction television seriesDoctor Whoin January 2009[21][22][23]to followDavid Tennant,who announced his departure in October 2008.[24]Smith was a relatively unknown actor compared to the actors then speculated about possibly taking on the role, who includedPaterson Joseph,David Morrissey,Sean Pertwee,James Nesbitt,Russell Tovey,Catherine Zeta-Jones,Chiwetel Ejiofor,Robert Carlyle,andBillie Piper.[25]Smith was first named as a possible successor less than a day before he was announced as the Eleventh Doctor, on the edition of 3 January 2009 ofBBC Breakfast,among the names speculated about.[26]His obscurity prompted the news headline "Doctor Who?", a riff on the show's title.[27][28]
Smith was one of the earliest actors to audition for the role, performing on the first day. The production team, consisting of incoming producerSteven Moffatand BBC Wales Head of Drama and executive producerPiers Wenger,immediately singled him out based on his performance.[21]Smith additionally auditioned for the role ofJohn Watsonin the Moffat-createdSherlock,undergoing auditions at the same time; he was unsuccessful, as Moffat believed his eccentric acting style was closer toHolmes,a role that had already been given toBenedict Cumberbatch.[29]At 26 years old, Smith was three years younger thanPeter Davisonwas at the time of his casting as the Doctor in 1981, making him the youngest Doctor and the youngest actor to be suggested for the role.[21][30]After three weeks of auditions, Moffat and Wenger agreed that it had "always been Matt" and approached him to accept the role.[21][31][32][33]
Smith made his debut asthe Doctorin the episode "The Eleventh Hour"in April 2010.[34]The BBC were cautious about casting Smith because they felt that a 26-year-old could not play the Doctor adequately; Wenger shared the same sentiment but thought Smith had proven his acting quality inParty Animals,which Wenger thought highlighted Smith's "mercurial qualities".[20][21]Some fans of the show believed that Smith was inexperienced and too young for the role, while others supported him by citing his demonstrated acting ability.[35]For his performance in his first series, he was nominated in the Outstanding Drama Performance Category of theNational Television Awards.[36]Smith is the first actor in the role to garner a nomination for aBritish Academy Television Award for Best Actor.[37]
Smith said of his character: "The Doctor is excited and fascinated by the tiniest of things. By everything. By every single thing. That's what's wonderful about him as a character. It's why children like him, I think. Because he doesn't dismiss anything. He's not cynical. He's open to every single facet of the universe."[38]In June 2010, Smith appeared on stage withOrbital,and performed with them a version of theDoctor Whotheme,at theGlastonbury Festival.[39]Smith hosted theDoctor WhoPromat theRoyal Albert Hallon 24–25 July 2010.[40]On the morning of 26 May 2012, Smith carried theOlympic torchinCardiff,an activity which was noted byDoctor Whofans for its resemblance to a2006 episodeof the show in which the Doctor carried the torch.[41]On 1 June 2013, the BBC announced that Smith would be leavingDoctor Whoat the end of the2013 Christmas special.[42]He was succeeded byPeter Capaldi.[43]Reflecting upon his decision to leave in a 2016 interview, he expressed regret for not staying longer, stating that he wanted to work longer with co-starJenna Coleman.[44]In 2018, while appearing onDesert Island Discs,he revealed that he nearly turned down the role of the Doctor.[5]Smith's directorial debut, the short filmCargese,was aired onSky Artsin May 2013.[45][46]
