Who played him in TV: Time and the Rani? BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 16:18, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

He was little more than an extra as he had no lines. You may want to add a behind the scenes note akin to the one at "Brian (Doctor Who)".--Skittles the hog - talk 16:55, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

The actor is probably one of two (or maybe more) actors.

IMDB lists 2 actors who played "Genius", Russell Brook whose page indicates he was in Part 1 and 4 and Mike Mungarvan, whose page also indicates he was in both parts, but in 4 he was a Lakertyn.

Both are actors who've appeared (according to their biographies on IMDB) in multiple stories of Doctor Who as non-speaking actors.

I think you'd have to look at the other stories these two actors have appeared in and see if they look like Einstein, and then you could work out who played him based on the other evidence. --Tangerineduel / talk 17:08, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, so I looked slightly further into the IMB page and found that on the indivitual page for episode 4, the actor Tom O'Leary is credited as Albert Einstein. I have added this to the page.
