Rwandan-Scottish star of Sex Education has made astonishing journey from couch-surfing to master of the Whoniverse.

While working as a temp at Harrods and sharing a friend’s bed, he lost weight because he could not afford to eat. The idea that he might become an actor first came when he was 17 and his drama teacher complimented him on his talent. “I would get compliments for looking so presentable. The family lived in university accommodation while Gatwa’s father studied for a PhD in philosophy and theology. Auditions weren’t just acting jobs, they were lifelines.” But his father was forced leave the family and move to Cameroon because he was unable to get work as an academic in the UK, which Gatwa has described as “an amazing sacrifice”.

La BBC a annoncé, ce dimanche 8 mai, que Ncuti Gatwa succédera à Jodie Whittaker dans le rôle du personnage principal de "Doctor Who".

Les fans de Doctor Who pourront découvrir Ncuti Gatwa dans la peau du Docteur en 2023. SÉRIE - Changement de registre pour l’acteur britannique Ncuti Gatwa. Connu pour son rôle dans la série Netflix Sex Education, il va interpréter le personnage principal de la série de science fiction Doctor Who, a annoncé la BBC ce dimanche 8 mai. Ncuti Gatwa est le premier acteur noir à incarner le Docteur, relève Buzzfeed. Il succède ainsi à Jodie Whittaker, la première femme à jouer ce personnage emblématique du petit écran. L’interprète d’Eric dans Sex Education va ainsi devenir le Quatorzième Docteur, un extraterrestre capable de voyager à travers l’espace et le temps.

Gatwa, best known for his role as Eric Effiong in Netflix's comedy-drama Sex Education, will be the first Black actor to play the role full time.

I will endeavour my utmost to do the same," the release quoted Gatwa as saying. The original run of Doctor Who spanned 1963 to 1989. He promises a "spectacular" 2023.

He promises a “spectacular” 2023. “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. The original run of “Doctor Who” spanned 1963 to 1989.

Best known for playing Eric Effiong on Netflix's Sex Education, Gatwa said he felt honored and humbled to land the iconic sci-fi role.

"Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those TARDIS keys in seconds," Davies said. "I will endeavour my upmost to do the same." "There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling," the 29-year-old Rwandan-Scottish actor said in a statement.

"Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those TARDIS keys in seconds." Davies stepped away from the showrunner role in 2009. Instead, Gatwa's Eric stands out from the ensemble cast with a fully realized personality and inner life.

Gatwa was born in Nyarugenge, Kigali, Rwanda in the early nineties. He and his family fled Rwanda in 1994 at the beginning of the genocide.

Gatwa is now the fourteenth person to play Doctor Who and will replace the previous Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, who took over the role in 2017. In a statement, Gatwa said: “There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. Scottish-Rwandan actor, Ncuti Gatwa, has been announced as the new Doctor Who—the leading role in a beloved UK BBC television series.

Where have you seen the new 14th Doctor before? Or: why Ncuti Gatwa's trousers in Sex Education prove that he'll make a brilliant Doctor.

Gatwa plays “Dougie”, a character that nobody who has seen the miniseries remembers. Now ideally Gatwa would have played Puck, the trickster, or maybe even the mighty King Oberon. That would be thematically handy, but instead in this stage production, Gatwa plays Demetrius, one of the many mortals in the play who gets messed about with love potions. He describes the character as very focused but as somebody who “brings the fun back”. Is that what he plans to do for the Doctor? Or are these in fact two completely unrelated performances? In Dominic Brigstocke’s family comedy, Gatwa plays “Timidus,” a Roman soldier befriended by the protagonist when he gets conscripted. The announcement of a new Doctor is like Christmas for Doctor Who fans, if Christmas came every three-to-five years and appeared without warning. The first thing, as a Doctor Who fan, that you notice while watching Sex Education, is that Ncuti Gatwa is wearing absolutely perfect Doctor trousers – grey tweed that Hartnell, Troughton, or Capaldi would not turn their noses up at.

M. Gatwa incarnera le quatorzième « docteur », et prend la suite de Jodie Whittaker.

Il succédera à Jodie Whittaker, première femme à incarner le personnage phare de la série. « Parfois un acteur entre dans la pièce, et il est si lumineux, si audacieux et si brillant que je reste pétrifié et que je remercie ma bonne étoile », a commenté le showrunner de la série, Russel T. Davies, qui avait relancé Doctor Who en 2003, après une pause de la diffusion, et a repris les rênes de la série cette année. Toujours populaire, la série a cependant vu ses audiences s’effriter, notamment au Royaume-Uni, ces dernières années. Ncuti Gatwa succédera à Jodie Whittaker pour incarner Doctor Who dans la série éponyme de la BBC, a annoncé la chaîne ce 8 mai.

La série a été diffusée pour la première fois en 1963. À seulement 29 ans, Ncuti Gatwa, né au Rwanda, deviendra le 14e Seigneur du Temps à partir de 2023, quand la série fêtera son 60e anniversaire. L’acteur écossais Ncuti Gatwa, remarqué ses dernières années pour son rôle dans la série Sex Education diffusée sur Netflix, sera le premier acteur noir à interpréter le Docteur dans Doctor Who, série culte de science-fiction de la BBC, a annoncé dimanche la chaîne de télévision.

Ce dernier s’est d’ailleurs empressé d’encenser avec vigueur l’embauche de Gatwa, promettant une saison «spectaculaire» en 2023. Un mélange d’être profondément honoré, plus qu’excité et évidemment un petit peu effrayé. Ce rôle et cette série comptent tellement pour beaucoup de gens autour du monde, incluant moi-même, et chacun de mes incroyablement talentueux prédécesseurs a honoré avec soin cette responsabilité et ce privilège unique.
