David Tennant is Hollywood bound

David Tennant fans may be sad that his stint as Doctor Who is nearly over, but it looks like we may be seeing much more of him on the big screen.

Tennant certainly has what it takes – good looks, great actor and an English accent they’ll love in the States. He also has the new series ‘Rex is Not Your Lawyer’ on NBC. If it becomes successful, he plans to move to Los Angeles.

 “It seems British actors are more and more in vogue over there – look at Hugh Laurie,” he said. “He’s just about as big a star as you get in the States and he’s made it in a role he would never have been given here”.

“But I’m not really thinking, ‘Well, they all did it, so I’ll do it.’ There’s no great plan. You just muddle along, and if an opportunity comes up, it would be silly not to take it.”

Tennant’s new U.S. Comedy series centre’s around his character, a top lawyer who starts suffering from panic attacks and eventually coaches his clients to represent themselves in court, so he no longer has to. NBC has high hopes for the pilot, which could be given a full season if it goes down well with audiences.

Tennant was the 10th Doctor and is preparing to bow out of the Tardis in a two-part Dr Who BBC Christmas special. He will regenerate into Matt Smith, the latest actor to take on the time-travelling sci-fi role.
