| | '''David Sax''' is a voice actor for [[Big Finish Productions]], and is an alias used by Nicholas Briggs. |
| '''Nicholas Briggs''' is an actor, writer and director and fan-turned-pro. Long associated with various official and unofficial spin-off productions, on screen, he is best known for his voice work in the revived series of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' as the voice of the [[Dalek]]s and the [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|new Cybermen]]. | |
| | |
| ==Profile==
| |
| ===Early Days===
| |
| Briggs was one of several actors/writers/directors ([[Mark Gatiss]] being another) who cut their teeth on fan-made ''Doctor Who'' related/inspired productions and who later got to work on the official series.
| |
| | |
| Prior to his work on the revived TV series, Briggs has played an active role in ''Doctor Who'' fandom since the 1980s. He portrayed [[The Doctor (AudioVisuals)|a future incarnation of the Doctor]] in a series of unofficial audio dramas by [[Audio Visuals]], which was the forerunner of [[Big Finish Productions]]. He also worked with [[Reeltime Pictures]], hosting ''[[Myth Makers]]'', a long-running series of made-for-video interview documentaries featuring cast and crew of ''Doctor Who''. He also played the title role in ''[[Myth Runner]]'', a parody of ''Blade Runner'' built around bloopers from the ''Myth Makers'' series.
| |
| | |
| As a writer his works included productions such as ''[[Auton 2: Sentinel]]'' for [[BBV Productions]] and two entries in [[The Stranger]] series, one of which, ''[[In Memory Alone]]'', co-starred him with [[Colin Baker]] and [[Nicola Bryant]].
| |
| | |
| ====Recent Work====
| |
| Briggs is the Executive Producer of the Big Finish audio dramas line. Among his notable works for Big Finish has been writing and directing the ''[[Dalek Empire (Big Finish)|Dalek Empire]]'' series of audio dramas.
| |
| | |
| Since the return of ''Doctor Who'' in 2004, Briggs has been the "go to guy" for providing voiceovers for various alien races. Besides the Daleks and Cybermen, Briggs has also given voice to the [[Nestene Consciousness]], and the [[Judoon]]; he also provided the voice of the latter for an episode of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''.
| |
| | |
| In 2009, Briggs made his first on-screen appearance in a BBC ''Doctor Who'' franchise production when he appeared as [[Rick Yates]] in ''[[Torchwood]]'' ''[[Children of Earth: Day Four]]'' and ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five|Day Five]]'', which was also his first work for the ''Torchwood'' spinoff.
| |
| | |
| As of 2010, Briggs is also the host of the BBC7 radio anthology series ''7th Dimension'', which has broadcast a number of ''Doctor Who'' audio dramas over the past few years.
