James Corden
James Corden (born 22 August 1978) played Craig Owens in the Doctor Who stories The Lodger and Closing Time, and the box set exclusive Up All Night.
Corden is a BAFTA and Tony award-winning English actor, comedian, writer and producer, active since the late 1990s. His television credits include the BBC One comedy Gavin & Stacey, co-starring and co-created by Ruth Jones, and the BBC Three comedy, Horne & Corden. His film credits include How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, with Simon Pegg and Fenella Woolgar; and Lesbian Vampire Killers, with Paul McGann.
Thanks to his "centrepiece" comedy skeches in 2008, 2009 and 2010, he is heavily identified with Sport Relief, a biennial charity event similar to, and produced by, Comic Relief. Public perception of him as a figure associated with both comedy and sport likely led to him landing a job as the presenter of the comedy sports quiz A League of Their Own.
Also, Corden hosted the BRIT Awards in 2013.
Interstingly, in Gavin & Stacey Corden's character had a younger sister played by Sheridan Smith, who played Eighth Doctor companion Lucie Miller
