Early-life:
Born Joseph Alberic Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on May 27, 1970, but was brought up in West Cork, Ireland. He is the son of novelist Jennifer Lash and photographer Mark Fiennes.

Career:
He made his first professional stage appearance in the West End in The Woman in Black and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company for two seasons, taking roles in Son of Man, Les Enfants du Paradis, Troilus and Cressida, and the award-winning The Herbal Bed. Joseph's screen debut was in The Vacillations of Poppy Carew, and he attained international acclaim after appearing in Elizabeth and playing the part of William Shakespeare in 1998's Oscar-winning romantic comedy Shakespeare in Love. After returning to the stage, he also appeared in several high-profile movies including Enemy at the Gates and The Merchant of Venice, as well as US series Flash Forward, Camelot and American Horror Story.
Quote:
'I withdrew after Shakespeare in Love and went back to the theatre, to what I know. I'm an actor, and whatever speaks to me I will do.'

June 16, 1982
in
Slekmanthorpe, West Yorkshire

Best Known For:
Being the first female Doctor Who
Early-life:
Born in 1982 in Skelmanthorpe, West Yorkshire. She admits to being a bit of an attention-seeker as a child, and says it was lucky that urge was channelled into acting. After leaving school she completed a BTEC in performing arts before winning a place at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she studied alongside future Captain America star Hayley Atwell and Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery. Her future husband, American actor Christian Contreras, was in the year below.
Career:
Whittaker's first professional acting job was in The Storm at Shakespeare's Globe in 2005, but her big break came the following year when she made her film debut alongside Peter O'Toole in Venus, a role which saw her nominated for the British Independent Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer. She went on to star in St Trinian's, One Day and the acclaimed British sci-fi movie Attack the Block. Whittaker also won plaudits for her TV work, most notably as bereaved mother Beth Latimer in Broadchurch and a nurse posing as a doctor in Trust Me. However, her profile received the biggest boost when it was announced she was taking over the Tardis as the 13th Doctor.

"You can never say I'm type cast - you don't get type cast as a Time Lord."
