- David Tennant didn't automatically assume that critics would question wether the same man who plays Doctor Who could pull off Shakespeare, but when the BBC van pulled up outside the theater David soon began to panic.

The idea of someone this good in what he does being scared by the things his job brings with it is just strange. It makes him very human though.
It's very comforting too. If someone as brilliant as David Tennant gets scared, it makes me feel better. :)
He wouldn't be as good, if he didn't feel some fear.
I feel its tge fear that makes him be brilliant at what he does. He loves it so much that he doesn't want to screw up and is willing to do whatever it takes. The presence not the absence of fear makes a person come alive!
I did drama at university, did a play and a couple sitcom episodes, and honestly it's exactly like what he says. It feels utterly ridiculous that you're doing this, and it's the most terrifying thing I've ever done, but afterward people would say you were actually good, it's like "wow really?"- I did a comedy play and people were actually laughing at my part the most, it was completely surreal. Screen acting must be the worst though- the sitcom eps I did people actually complimented me again but then I watched the episodes and I thought I was AWFUL. Like seriously the worst attempt at acting of all time, but a lot of that must have been because I was watching myself.
The only saving grace of screen acting is that editors do make you look better than you are, editors are your best friend they're there to help you in post, whereas in a play if you fuck up everyone sees it.
I've really enjoyed these David Tennant clips, he's clearly thoroughly enjoying himself and comes across brilliantly!!
But David Tennant must be one of the only actors to play Hamlet AND meet William Shakespeare!
In Doctor Who AND Good Omens, if I'm not mistaken.
Ryan Leister, you’re correct!
My Patronus is David Tennant in a bathrobe with a cup of tea talking about performing.
Hands down my favorite actor interview show because of how much attention gets put on the guests to simply talk. Deserves way, way, way, way more views.
Christ... I was getting anxiety just from HEARING about his anecdote xD But thank god he actually got on stage, he's a tremendous Hamlet
His Hamlet is the best interpretation i have seen of the play.
do you have any links where I can see him?
Loving this type of interview, just how personal but lighthearted it is. To see glimpses of David that we normally don’t see. The interviewer seems nice too, which probably helps
Exactly what I was thinking - it is just delightful
Look for the SAG and BAFTA interviews. Both are delightful.
I saw him as Hamlet and I feel so lucky to have done. It was brilliant. He and Patrick Stewart were amazing. It was once and a lifetime. Hamlet is my favorite Shakespeare work and to see such talented actors perform it makes me feel incredibly fortunate.
I was lucky enough to see his Richard II. Just wonderful.
seeing more and more clips from this interview makes me so incredibly happy!
He and Andrew Scott are the defining Hamlets of their generation. Both performances changed my life. No question.
I know DT is incredibly busy…but…I would pay the fee to hear him give a set of those “Master classes” on acting and/ or Shakespeare’s works. He is so knowledgeable and educated that he could just speak without much preparation. And, yes..this is one of his best interviews. I love how the interviewer just allows DT to talk rather than trying to outshine him, which, we all know is not possible. Huzzah!
I can watch this man and learn endlessly. So much humility, so much insight. What a lovely man. I want to be when I grow up.
Thank you, thank you so much David Tennant to this confidence. As a comedian and a musician, I've exactly the same fears and thought stage wasn't a place to me, "other guys can do it better"...Thank you to your honesty.
Thank you, Sam Jones! Great interview. Michael Sheen & David Tennant in *Good Omens* are unforgettable.
Subscribed based off of your interview with DT, he's brilliant and so down to earth.
What a brilliant man. I’d love to work around people like him. Just so damn charismatic
I love these videos, their dialogue is brilliant and intelligent, and they both have a lovely way to speak
You are one of the few content producers who has the good sense to use silence to censor instead of an obnoxious piercing beep. I'd rather have no censorship, but the way you handle it I don't really have anything to complain about.
I want to be his friend, please.
David Tennant captured me for the first time in 80 days around the world.
He owned the camera. His skills were heartfelt.
"dampsquib" Thank God I watch the IT Crowd or I'd have no idea what that gobstopper meant.
He is thougtful and truthful and a great pleasure to listen to a creative person who is ciearly thinking while he speaks. Yes a great pleasure and I suspect a thoroughly good guy,
The best of our generation.
Will any more (specifically this one) episodes be on Netflix??
I love how talented but down to earth he is((
Best Hamlet EVER. He's good in Doctor Who but his Shakespeare performances are sublime and unequaled. He doesn't have to fear comparison to John Gielgud. He IS the John Gielgud of his generation. Thirty years from now young actors will strive to match up to him.
I’ve done theatre at adult ed trying to get into acting/directing everything he says about the fear of doing preformence is true and relatable even though I’m a less experienced actor same man
Thank goodness for Lyn.
Where do we send flowers??
Come on Hamlet, buck up!😄
Watched David in "Broad Church" and the American version "Grace Point" only because he was in it...
I really like the interviewer
I love David Tennant is good actor play hamlet 😍😘😈❤️💯👍🎭
This is the first time that I've heard the word "squib" outside of Harry Potter, and I'm not sure if I ought to take this as David Tennant using a word he picked up from Harry Potter, since he did have a blink-and-you-miss-it role in the fourth film, or that squib was already slang in the UK and Rowling just repurposed it for her books, and as an American, I had just assumed she made the word up. . .
And now he's known for his Hamlet and his association with RSC
Well, yes, a good actor could play both the Doctor and Hamlet. Famous actors always get lots of attention. That's the price of success.
Jesus.. the hottest hamlet ever 💓
I'd listen to Hamlet with a Scottish accent. As long as the actor playing him is David Tennant.
I wonder if the interviewer was aware that he'd already done two seasons with the Royal Shakespeare Company before he played Hamlet.
I could stay and listen to McDonald for hours, if you haven't seen it watch "single father", he's amazing.
DOCTOR WHO
Not to knock him off his pedal stool but pretty sure the expression is damp squid
LOL. Assuming you are serious, no it's squib, which is a type of firework, so it's like a wet firework that doesn't ignite.
@@daffy8995 nah I'm not serious, just a dumb, bad joke. The pedal stool and damp squid are from the show the IT crowd.
Lol, love IT!
he did say , "a damp squib"...
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind David Tennant the one sitting right next to you can play Hamlet if he can play the doctor and on Harry Potter he could play Hamlet no question okay I did have a question about Harry Potter and him playing it and not thinking he could I was wrong I can admit that but I do believe he could play Hamlet I don't understand Hamlet that's way over my way over my head but still I think he could do it it did play in much to do about nothing so he can play in that he can plan
Yes I can't believe that David Tennant can ended do Hamlet and just about every other Shakespeare play Chloe much to do about nothing which I really annoyed that one very much very very much that's it was one of his better once because it made me laugh and you play like that they can make me laugh is okay in my book if you have to explain a joke is not funny
