Matthew Robert Smith (born 28 October 1982) is an English actor. He initially aspired to be a professional footballer, but spondylolysis forced him out of the sport. After joining the National Youth Theatre and attending the University of East Anglia, Smith became an actor in 2003, performing in London theatres. On the West End, he portrayed Patrick Bateman in the musical American Psycho from 2013 to 2015. Smith's other theatre roles include in The History Boys (2005), That Face (2007), Lungs (2019), and An Enemy of the People (2024).
Smith's first major role in television came in the
Early life and education
Matthew Robert Smith was born in
Smith's drama teacher introduced him to acting by signing him up for theatrical productions without his consent. After failing to participate on the first two occasions,[5] his teacher arranged for him to play the tenth juror in an adaptation of Twelve Angry Men. Although he took part, he refused to attend a drama festival for which his teacher had also signed him up, as he saw himself as a football player and believed acting would damage his social life.[7] His teacher persisted, eventually persuading him to join the National Youth Theatre in London. After leaving school, Smith studied Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, graduating in 2005.[7][8] With the National Youth Theatre, he played Thomas Becket in Murder in the Cathedral and Bassoon in The Master and Margarita. His role in the latter earned him an agent and his first professional jobs, Fresh Kills and On the Shore of the Wide World, which led him to seek an agreement with his university so that he could graduate without attending lectures in his final year.[9]
Career
2006–2009: Rise to prominence
Smith's first television role was as Jim Taylor in the

2010–2013: Doctor Who and stardom
"The Doctor is a very special part, and it takes a very special actor to play him. You need to be old and young at the same time, a boffin and an action hero, a cheeky schoolboy and the wise old man of the universe. As soon as Matt walked through the door, and blew us away with a bold and brand new take on the Time Lord, we knew we had our man."
Executive producer Steven Moffat on Smith's casting.[19]
Smith was revealed as the Eleventh Doctor in the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who in January 2009[20][21][22] to follow David Tennant, who announced his departure in October 2008.[23] Smith was a relatively unknown actor compared to the actors then speculated about possibly taking on the role, who included Paterson Joseph, David Morrissey, Sean Pertwee, James Nesbitt, Russell Tovey, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Robert Carlyle, and Billie Piper.[24] Smith was first named as a possible successor less than a day before he was announced as the Eleventh Doctor, on the edition of 3 January 2009 of BBC Breakfast, among the names speculated about.[25] His obscurity prompted the news headline "Doctor Who?", a riff on the show's title.[26][27]
Smith was one of the earliest actors to audition for the role, performing on the first day. The production team, consisting of incoming producer Steven Moffat and BBC Wales Head of Drama and executive producer Piers Wenger, immediately singled him out based on his performance.[20] Smith additionally auditioned for the role of John Watson in the Moffat-created Sherlock, undergoing auditions at the same time; he was unsuccessful, as Moffat believed his eccentric acting style was closer to Holmes, a role that had already been given to Benedict Cumberbatch.[28] At 26 years old, Smith was three years younger than Peter Davison was at the time of his casting as the Doctor in 1981, making him the youngest Doctor and the youngest actor to be suggested for the role.[20][29] After three weeks of auditions, Moffat and Wenger agreed that it had "always been Matt" and approached him to accept the role.[20][30][31][32]
Smith made his debut as the Doctor in the episode "The Eleventh Hour" in April 2010.[33] The BBC were cautious about casting Smith because they felt that a 26-year-old could not play the Doctor adequately; Wenger shared the same sentiment but thought Smith had proven his acting quality in Party Animals, which Wenger thought highlighted Smith's "mercurial qualities".[19][20] Some fans of the show believed that Smith was inexperienced and too young for the role, while others supported him by citing his demonstrated acting ability.[34] For his performance in his first series, he was nominated in the Outstanding Drama Performance Category of the National Television Awards.[35] Smith is the first actor in the role to garner a nomination for a British Academy Television Award for Best Actor.[36]
Smith said of his character: "The Doctor is excited and fascinated by the tiniest of things. By everything. By every single thing. That's what's wonderful about him as a character. It's why children like him, I think. Because he doesn't dismiss anything. He's not cynical. He's open to every single facet of the universe."
2014–present: The Crown and other roles
Smith portayed Patrick Bateman in the musical adaptation of American Psycho at London's Almeida Theatre from 2013 to 2014.[46] Smith was cast in Ryan Gosling's directorial debut Lost River, which was released in 2014.[47][48] Smith had a supporting role as the embodiment of Skynet in Terminator Genisys (2015).[49][50][51] He was set to have more screen time in the sixth and seventh films in the series, but these proposed films were cancelled in the wake of Terminator Genisys' commercial and critical failure.[52] On 20 November 2014, it was announced that Smith would star in the action-thriller film Patient Zero.[53] It was released in 2018, and received negative reviews.[54] In June 2015, Smith was cast as Prince Philip in the Netflix royal drama The Crown.[55] He played the role for the series' first two seasons,[56] garnering a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2018.[57] Smith reunited with his The Crown co-star Claire Foy in a production of the Duncan Macmillan play Lungs at The Old Vic beginning in October 2019.[58]

Personal life
Smith was in a relationship with Brazilian actress and singer Mayana Moura from 2008 to 2009.[75] He also had an on-off relationship with model Daisy Lowe from 2010 to 2014.[76][77] From 2014 to 2019, he was in a relationship with actress Lily James.[78][79]
Smith is an atheist.[80] He is an avid supporter of Blackburn Rovers.[81][82] He has cited his favourite band Radiohead as an inspiration,[83] and referred to Oasis as "the greatest rock-and-roll band in the world".[5] In 2015, he was named one of GQ's 50 Best-Dressed British Men.[84]
