This made me laugh...
Elisabeth Sladen, the star of Doctor Who spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures has revealed that she believes that current Doctor Matt Smith is perfectly cast as the famous Time Lord because he looks like an alien.
In an upcoming episode of Sarah Jane, Matt Smith stars alongside Sladen and the actress revealed that he was a complete professional at all times. Talking to TV Guide…
“There’s a lovely moment when Sarah realises just who Jo is. And as for Matt Smith, he is a bloody alien, isn’t he? He doesn’t have to act! I can see exactly why they cast him. He was a joy to work with. He went for it on every take.”
She then talked about the upcoming fourth season of Sarah Jane and in particular the scary opening two-parter which is called The Nightmare Man…
“The Nightmare Man gets into your mind and plays nasty tricks. I got to play an evil version of Sarah Jane, who appears in Clyde’s nightmare. I relish those moments when the writing allows me to be something other than Sarah Jane, kicking ass.”
The Sarah Jane Adventures returns on October 11.
