Profile
Early days
Briggs was one of several actors/writers/directors (Mark Gatiss being another) who cut their teeth on fan-made Doctor Who related/inspired productions and who later got to work on the official series.
Prior to his work on the revived TV series, Briggs has played an active role in Doctor Who fandom since the 1980s. He portrayed a future incarnation of the Doctor in a series of unofficial audio dramas by Audio Visuals, which was the forerunner of Big Finish. He also worked with Reeltime Pictures, hosting Myth Makers, a long-running series of made-for-video interview documentaries featuring cast and crew of Doctor Who. He also played the title role in Myth Runner, a parody of Blade Runner built around bloopers from the Myth Makers series.
As a writer his works included productions such as Auton 2: Sentinel for Bill Baggs Video and two entries in The Stranger series, one of which, In Memory Alone, co-starred him with Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant.
Later work
When not doing voiceovers for the revived Doctor Who series, Briggs is the Executive Producer of the Big Finish audio dramas line. Among his notable works for Big Finish has been writing and directing the Dalek Empire series of audio dramas.
