Sylvester McCoy


Born
in Dunoon, Scotland, The United Kingdom
August 20, 1943


Sylvester McCoy (born Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith) is a Scottish actor. In his youth, he trained for the priesthood, but gave this up and spent time working in the insurance industry. He worked in The Roundhouse box office for a time, where he was discovered by Ken Campbell.

He appeared regularly on stage and on BBC Children's television in the 1970s and 80s but is best known for playing the seventh incarnation of the Doctor in the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who from 1987 to 1989 and a brief return in a television movie in 1996. He often reprises his role as the Doctor in the form of Big Finish audioplays.

“There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep and the rivers dream, people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.”
Sylvester McCoy
