You may be looking for his real world counterpart or the parodical version from Doctor Who?.

Colin Baker was an actor who played a fictional Doctor Who, starring in BBC's Doctor Who. Baker was also put on trial twice.

Biography

At some point in Baker's life, he had been put on trial. (WC: The Trial)

Baker was later put on trial once again, this time for an unpaid parking fine, which he received whilst filming new bonus material for the Doctor Who Season 23 Blu-Ray Collection. During the trial, he tried to justify to the magistrate that he should be excused, and that the very fact he was on trial was a farce. Baker also provided evidence downloaded from the Time Lord's Matrix, but to no avail, and he was placed in a cell with a female friend. (WC: The Trial)

Other realities

In one universe, Colin was recording a monologue, in character as the Warrior, about his existence, when the director working with Colin stopped the scene, deciding that the scene needed to be redone for safety. Colin then did the second take. This reality was glimpsed by the Warrior when he was trying to reset his universe.

Appearance

Colin Baker wore a floral waistcoat over a navy blue shirt, complemented with a darker blue jacket, finished with a cat brooch. (WC: The Trial)

Behind the scenes

Information from invalid sources

In 1993, Baker got in an argument over the size of Tom Baker's "part" in The Dark Dimension, which led to its cancellation. (COMIC: Doctor Whoah! 379)

When Christopher Eccleston was eventually cast as the Doctor, Baker was happy to be relieved of the title of "Doctor with the fewest episodes", which had now diverted to Paul McGann. (COMIC: Doctor What 4)

He once attempted to star in the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who alongside other former Doctors. (TV: The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot)

The Twelfth Doctor once knew, through "psychic shenanigans", that many actors were gathering at London's West End for a special breakfast, and that the people he was talking to could meet them; one of the actors was Colin Baker. (WC: Peter Capaldi and Simon the Shy Cyberman Invite You to Breakfast with 7 Doctors)

Other matters

• 

  An ambiguously in-universe photograph of Colin Baker. (WC: Peter Capaldi and Simon the Shy Cyberman Invite You to Breakfast with 7 Doctors)
  Colin Baker also appears in The Happenstance Pox, the fourth story in the Baker's End series.
• Evidently, "Colin Baker" in all above instances was intended to be an in-universe version of the real Colin Baker, who portrayed the Sixth Doctor. Although he was not given a clear in-universe illustration during the narrative of WC: Peter Capaldi and Simon the Shy Cyberman Invite You to Breakfast with 7 Doctors, the only currently valid story to reference him, the end of the webcast included a screen featuring photographs of each Doctor who would be present at the event, in-costume as "the Doctor".
• In AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time ^[+]Loading...["The Key To Key To Time (audio story)"] "Colin" is played by Colin Baker, this character is uncredited in the boxset.
