BBC Names Their Eleventh Doctor Who
Source: BBC News
January 3, 2009
During a "Dr. Who Confidential" special shown on the BBC in the UK, the identity of the eleventh actor to play Doctor Who, the popular time-traveling character who first debuted on British television over 45 years ago, was revealed... and it is 26-year-old Matt Smith!
Having appeared in a number of previous short-lived shows like "Party Animals" and "Secret Diary of a Call Girl", Smith is set to debut in the fifth new season since the character's resurrection in 2005, filming over the summer for its launch in 2010. Smith follows a five-year run as the character by David Tennant, who will continue to appear as the character in a number of upcoming interim specials over the next year.

I would have likeed to see an older actor play the part again. This guy looks much the same age as David Tennant - even of similar build.
