The surviving "Doctor who" mostly threw young (or young) actors for the lead role as a doctor. The benefit of this approach is that the young actor feels fresh for the audience; For example, Matt Smith was almost completely unknown before being thrown like the 11th doctorSo the fans did not have the luggage of his previous roles that influenced their verdict.

But fans who have a pre -existing relationship with the new actor playing the doctor is not necessarily a bad thing. When Peter Capaldi was thrown as a 12th doctor, he was already known for a dozen other memorable roles, several of which even happened in the "Doctor Who" universe. Moreover, he has already played a doctor in World War Z, specifically the one working for the World Health Organization. It is true: Before Capaldi acts in "Doctor Who", he showed a doctor for WHO

To make this even more interesting is the fact that the character never gave the official name. He is listed in loans as "which doctor", causing some kind of confusion among viewers that is similar to what the characters "Doctor who" must feel when the doctor first introduced himself. World War Z was announced in June 2013, and Capaldi was officially announced as the 12th doctor next August; Some fans even speculate that Capaldi's loan in the movie "Zombies" was intended as a subtle hint of the vivals, although it is far more likely that it is all by accident.

Attention: spoilers For "World War Z" to follow.

Although most fans point to the doctor's relationship between these two Capaldi projects, it is also worth noting that "World War Z" rounds its story in a way that feels terribly similar to the kind of "Doctor" trick. "World War Z", of course, focuses on the zombie apocalypse, and in the last act of the film, Brad Pitt's main character, Gary Lane, hypothesized (and then proves) Zombies ignore the terminally ill people. As such, he and other uninfected survivors in the WHO facility where the culmination (included Capaldi's doctor included) is injected with a deadly-but-output pathogen shortly before they know they will have to deal with zombies. There is even a shot where the image of Pete triumphantly walks through the zombie horde, untouched by all of them, which feels like something we will see the doctor who makes at the end of the particularly scared "Doctor who" two-money.

For the character of Capaldi, specifically, there is a string where he sees other characters trying to escape a closed area filled with zombies. The Capaldi doctor should choose between a pragmatic choice - refusing to open the doors and condemn the characters inside, while securing the rest of the facility's safety - or the idealistic choice, which risks everything just to save some people he met just 10 minutes ago. Of course, he makes the ideal choice and pulls it out without sacrifices in the nickname of time. It's a very doctor-y moment for this non-doctor, Air, Doctor.

Outside of "World War Z", Capaldi was still well -established in 2013. He was best known for his role in the political sitcom "the dense of it" as a lot Foul-small Malcolm Tucker. This character was so vulgar that he was a leading joke in the "Doctor" random that the eighth season of revival will be moved from TV PG to TV now when Capaldi was on the ship.

For most whovians in 2013, the big question was about how the show would address Else Capaldi's performance at "Doctor Who" Universe in Season 4 of "Pompeii fires". There, Capaldi played Caecilius, a family man from Pompeii, who communicated a lot with the 10th doctor. It was a role that was a memorable enough that is kind of kind necessary to address the 12th doctor at some point. And, of course, it was: "The girl who died" of the season 9 founded the doctor subconsciously chose Cecilius' face during regeneration as a way to remind herself to save innocent lives no matter what the rules say. It was a moment that provided another insight into The strangeness of regenerationthe moment when Era of Disney "Doctor Who" Final in Season 2 He seemed to draw from.

But the most difficult capaly was in season 3 of "Doctor Who" Spin-off series "Torchwood", where government secretary Johnon Frobisher plays. The story of the character is as absurdly dark and well acting that it is inconvenient to think that it happened in the same universe as Azobalph. If Capaldi's doctor saw what happened to Capaldi Frobisher, he would be shaken to his core.
