'Deeply honored, beyond excited': Ncuti Gatwa revealed as the new 'Doctor Who'
Ncuti Gatwa is embarking on an exciting journey as Jodie Whittaker's successor in "Doctor Who."
The Rwanda-born, Scotland-raised Gatwa, 29, will be the first Black actor to helm the quintessential British sci-fi show, but he won’t be the first Black Doctor: Jo Martin has played “Fugitive Doctor” in several episodes.
BBC announced the "Sex Education" star's new position as the fourteenth doctor on Sunday.
"There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared," Gatwa said in a statement. "This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same."
