ACTOR Born in West Lothian, Scotland in 1971. 

Thanks to his starring role as the Doctor in the BBC's Doctor Who David Tennant has become one of the UK's most familiar faces, before Who though he was already making a strong name for himself with roles in Casanova and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. 

Tennant's real name is David McDonald and apparently came up with his stage name in honour of the Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant.
