Mark Gatiss (born 17th October 1966, in Sedgefield, Durham, England, UK) is a British actor probably best known for his role in The League of Gentlemen. However he also has a longstanding tie to Doctor Who, having done some of his earliest acting work for the BBV Productions spinoff films, while at the same time writing several BBV films and Doctor Who novels. He also appeared in the 2001 documentary series, "SF:UK" in which he talked about DW (amongst other things).
He has contributed three scripts to the BBC Wales version of Doctor Who, guest starred in it, and narrated several episodes of Doctor Who Confidential. Although other writers had previously enjoyed small roles in the 1963 version of Doctor Who, he was the first to have had a large speaking role — much less a part the size of Professor Richard Lazarus, who was the titular villain of The Lazarus Experiment. He also made a brief appearance in Victory of the Daleks as a spitfire pilot, which made him the only person to have written and starred in the same episode of Doctor Who. He claimed that the small role also made him "the first and only person so far to write for the series and be in it twice".[1]
