Ncuti Gatwa has revealed that he recently bonded with fellow Doctor Who actor Matt Smith, saying that the two had “deep chats” about the demands of the TV series.
The Rwandan-Scottish actor surprisingly left the BBC sci-fi series in May, having lasted just two seasons in the role. In the recent series finale, it was suggested that he has been replaced by former Who star Billie Piper. Smith, meanwhile, played the Time Lord for three years, between 2010 and 2013, with Peter Capaldi taking over in the part.
