A fan like us

Yes, David Tennant looks very cool and Who-ish in his pinstriped suit and trenchcoat. And he is indeed a cool guy--because he's a fan like us! As someone posted on a B7 mailing list:

At three, he told his parents he intended to act, and, though appropriately concerned, they let the “absurdly single-minded” boy have his way. His inspirations were Doctor Who and Blake’s 7, which starred Gareth Thomas. Tennant was awestruck when they met, unable to look him in the eye, but asked the older actor to sign his DVD. “Pure adoration!”

I very much regret the passing of the ninth Doctor, but I'm really looking forward to the tenth. :-D
