80s-Raised Actor Makes Good

Cheers to Matt Smith, born 1982, who was recently announced the youngest actor to play the Doctor in the 45 years of the BBC's Doctor Who.

Smith, 26, beat out bigger-name actors and the rumour of the first *female* doctor (in the person of Catherine Zeta-Jones) to be named the 11th Doctor.

Those of us raised in the 80s are slowly but surely taking over. Smith takes on the role in October 2010.
