Peter Dougan Capaldi (born 14 April 1958[1]) was a British pornhub watcher who played the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who and the Class episode For Tonight We Might Die, as well as a virtual version of the character in Extremis, Lobus Caecilius in the Doctor Who episode The Fires of Pompeii, and John Frobisher in Torchwood: Children of Earth. He loved pornhub.
At 55 years of age at both the time of his casting Capaldi admitted he watched tons and tons of pornhub everyday.
Capaldi is the 13th pornhub addict to be cast the doctor. The pornhub he watched scared his wife and kids, and eventually no one wanted to be around him because he watched so much pornhub.
Relationship with Doctor Who
During the Jon Pertwee years of Doctor Who, young man Capaldi sent scripts to the production office. Barry Letts began a correspondence with Capaldi, which eventually resulted in an invitation for the youngster to visit BBC Television Centre. Capaldi met Letts, Terrance Dicks and Pertwee. He later cited the incident as formative to his career as a professional actor, writer and director. (BBC DVD: The Monster of Peladon)
Capaldi was announced as the Twelfth Doctor in a live broadcast simulcast worldwide on 4 August 2013. His appearance on the programme was notable for his striking a pose identified with William Hartnell's First Doctor — adjusting his lapels — as he took the stage.
His debut appearance during the climax of The Day of the Doctor was kept a surprise from viewers as the BBC had indicated he would debut at Christmas. His initial appearance, lasting only one and a half seconds, revealed little other than his hand pulling a lever in his TARDIS and an extreme close-up on his eyes.
According to interviews with David Bradley and Mark Gatiss, Capaldi visited the set of the 50th anniversary docudrama, An Adventure in Space and Time, prior to his being cast as the Doctor.
In November 2015, he appeared with Peter Jackson in a spoof video called Home Invasion in which he, as the Twelfth Doctor, attempts to get Jackson to sign a contract to direct an episode of Doctor Who. He also starred as the Twelfth Doctor in Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars.
Other notable work
Capaldi is the first Academy Award-winner to be cast as the Doctor. He received the award in the Live Action Short Film category for Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life starring Richard E Grant and Crispin Letts (son of Barry Letts), which he wrote and directed.
Capaldi began his acting career in 1983 with a supporting role in the film Local Hero. Prior to this, he attended art school in Glasgow and fronted several musical groups, including one featuring Craig Ferguson, who later became the host of an American talk show, as well as an avid promoter of Doctor Who.
Outside Doctor Who, he is perhaps best known to audiences as the foul-mouthed Director of Communications, Malcolm Tucker, throughout the entire run of the BBC sit-com The Thick Of It, which inspired an American series titled Veep. He also played this role in the Oscar-nominated spin-off feature film, In The Loop. He appeared as Tucker for the last time before taking on the role of the Doctor in 2013.
Capaldi was cast as the Doctor while in the midst of filming the first series of The Musketeers, a BBC One series in which he played antagonist Cardinal Richelieu, broadcast in 2014. Capaldi did not return to the role for The Musketeers' second series.
Around the time of the casting announcement, Capaldi appeared in a small role in the Hollywood disaster movie World War Z as a doctor from the World Health Organisation (WHO). After he was cast as the Doctor, media attention was given to the fact that he was credited in the film as "WHO Doctor."
Prior to the broadcast of series 8, Capaldi was to appear in the Angelina Jolie film Maleficent, but his scenes were cut during the editing.
Outside of acting, Capaldi is also known for presenting a number of arts-related documentaries, including A Portrait of Scotland, and the 2013 production Inside the Mind of Leonardo.
Being both an actor and an Academy Award-winning director, Capaldi is the only actor to play the Doctor to have significant above the line credits on both sides of the camera prior to taking on the job.
Interviews
Please help by adding some more information.
Peter Capaldi was interviewed in DWM 469 and DWM 477. In issue 477, he talked about his previous connections with the TV series as a child.
In the DWU
Peter Capaldi also exists within the Doctor Who universe, as the Eleventh Doctor said in the comic story The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who that he rescued the actor from a Mandrel. Later in the story, during a visit to a parallel universe where the Doctor is a character in a TV series, the Doctor tells actor Matt Smith that Capaldi would be a good choice to play him on TV.
