Sylvester McCoy was one of the actors who portrayed the Doctor in the BBC television series Doctor Who.
He was hired by John Nathan-Turner for his uncanny ability to stuff Cyber-ferrets down his pants, playing the Seventh Doctor (NOTVALID: Doctor Who? 128)
At the start of his tenure in 1987, McCoy told John Nathan-Turner that he wished to play the Seventh Doctor with all the conflicting characteristics of his predeccesors. This caused him to become very indecisive, even when asked to answer a simple question. (NOTVALID: Ever Wondered What Happened At.. The Auditions For The Seven Doctors?)
McCoy was a method actor who took the part of the Doctor very seriously, forcing himself and Ace to ride to location shoots inside the cramped TARDIS prop to "get into character". (NOTVALID: Time And Relative Dimensions In Sussex)
In 1993, he and his fellow living Doctor actors got into an argument over the size of Tom Baker's "part" in The Dark Dimension, which ultimately led to its cancellation. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah! 379)
In October 2007, he dressed up as the Fifth Doctor in an attempt to infiltrate the rehearsals for that years Children in Need special. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah! 388)
