Dan Starkey played various Sontaran roles in televised Doctor Who, as well as for audio dramas and the Doctor Who video game The Gunpowder Plot. He has also played other non-Sontaran characters for audio and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

He is best known for playing Strax, an occasional associate of the Doctor's. Besides appearing in episodes, Starkey also appears as Strax in a number of online promotional videos uploaded by the BBC under the title Strax Field Report and has also made public appearances in costume and in character as Strax at venues such as the Doctor Who Experience.

Outside of Doctor Who, Starkey plays the hobgoblin, Randal Moon, in Wizards vs Aliens.

Notes

  • To date, his role in The Sarah Jane Adventures is the only time that he has played a non-Sontaran on a Doctor Who-related TV programme.
  • Although Big Finish does not have the rights to use characters created for the 2005-present revival series in its own productions, due to the unique nature of the Sontarans, Starkey is able to play characters similar to Strax and his other TV Sontaran roles for the company, just not the exact same Sontarans.
