Tom Baker

Thomas Stewart Baker Template:Post-nominals (born 20 January 1934) is an English actor and writer. He is best known for playing the fourth incarnation of the Doctor in the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who from 1974 to 1981, making him the longest-serving actor in the role.

Raised devoutly Catholic in Liverpool, Baker initially sought to become a cleric before turning to acting. He joined the National Theatre company in 1968. Following supporting roles in films such as Nicholas and Alexandra (1971) and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973), he was working part-time on a building site when he was cast as the lead in Doctor Who (1974–1981). Baker, who incorporated his own personality into the Doctor, became highly popular with audiences both in the UK and abroad; his portrayal is often considered the best and most quintessential of the programme's classic series.Template:Efn

Baker appeared in the television series Medics (1992–1995), Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) (2000–2001) and Monarch of the Glen (2004–2005). He moved into voice acting later in his career, providing narration for the comedy series Little Britain (2003–2006) and Little Britain USA (2008). In 2006, his "sonorous" voice was voted the fourth-most recognisable in the UK.

Career

1968–1973: Early work

Baker was in his thirties when his professional acting career began and he worked in provincial repertory theatre, which he later recalled as "mostly flops or even disasters".Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn His first acting role was as the bear in The Winter’s Tale at Assembly Hall, Edinburgh, in 1966.<ref name=":9" /><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Baker had his first break whilst performing in a late-night pub revue for the 1968 York Festival. His performance was seen by a scout with the Royal National Theatre who encouraged him to audition for the company. Following a successful audition for Laurence Olivier, Baker was given small parts and understudied.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn One of his bigger roles was the horse RocinanteTemplate:Sfn in The Travails of Sancho Panza, directed by Joan Plowright. This led Olivier to cast Baker as the Prince of Morocco in The Merchant of Venice.<ref name=":10" /> Other productions included The National Health and A Woman Killed with Kindness.Template:Sfn

His stage work led to work on television, where he gained small parts in series such as Dixon of Dock Green, Z-Cars, Market in Honey Lane and Softly, Softly.Template:Sfn He played Dr Ahmed el Kabir in the BBC’s 1972 Play of the Month production of The Millionairess, directed by Bill Slater and starring Maggie Smith.<ref name=":10">Template:Cite web</ref>Template:Sfn Baker's National Theatre contract ended in 1971.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn He continued to appear in theatre productions, with a role in The Novelist at Hampstead and as the lead in Macbeth at the Shaw Theatre, London.Template:Sfn Due to Baker's role as a Russian in The Idiot, Olivier suggested Baker to Sam Spiegel for the part of Grigori Rasputin in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), his first major film role.<ref name=":10" />Template:Sfn He was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for his performance, one for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and another for Best Newcomer.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Baker appeared as a tortured artist in The Vault of Horror (1973) and as the villainous sorcerer Koura in Ray Harryhausen's The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973).

1974–1981: Doctor Who

Baker worked on a building site between acting jobs, which earned him the nickname "Sir Laurence" from his workmates.<ref name=":6">Template:Cite web</ref> He had expected to work on three films in 1974 (Isabella of Spain, Three Men Went to War and Jackson's War), but they had all collapsed by late 1973.Template:Sfn Anxious at his career prospects,<ref name=":7">Template:Cite journal</ref> on 3 February 1974 he wrote a letter to The Millionairess director Bill Slater (incoming BBC Head of Serials) asking for acting work. Slater recommended Baker to Doctor Who producer Barry Letts, who was seeking a successor to Third Doctor actor Jon Pertwee.<ref name=":6" />Template:Sfn Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks were impressed by Baker's performance in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, and following a meeting with Baker in the BBC bar, the actor was quickly cast as the Fourth Doctor.Template:Sfn Baker's casting was announced to the press on 15 February; he made his first appearance as the Doctor in the closing moments of Planet of the Spiders on 8 June.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Baker's casting resulted in a wave of new acting offers. Even before recording his first season as the Doctor, he was cast in the television film The Author of Beltraffio (1974), directed by Tony Scott.<ref name=":11">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The same year he played the title role in The Trials of Oscar Wilde at the Oxford Festival.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Although Baker had little idea of how he would play his version of the Doctor when cast,<ref name="digital spy">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=":7" /> he quickly made the part his own, highlighting the character's eccentricity and alien qualities.<ref name=sladen>Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Sfn Baker incorporated much of his own personality into the Doctor'sTemplate:Sfn<ref>"Tom Baker Interview."

Under new producer Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor Robert Holmes, the series gained a gothic tone influenced by Hammer Horror films and was aimed "a bit more to the adults in the audience".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Many of the stories from Baker's early seasons are considered classics, such as The Ark in Space (1975), Genesis of the Daleks (1975), The Brain of Morbius (1976), The Deadly Assassin (1976) and The Robots of Death (1977).<ref name="Masters" /><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Baker has named Hinchcliffe's tenure as his favourite period of the series,<ref name="digital spy" /> but the series' violent tone came under heavy criticism from conservative activist Mary Whitehouse.<ref name="lyons" /> Hinchcliffe was replaced by Graham Williams,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and the series' tone was lightened.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Williams attempted to rein Baker in, but he was ultimately forced to accept the actor's growing influence over the programme.<ref name=":0" /><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Baker played the Doctor for seven consecutive seasons, making him the longest-serving actor in the part. His incarnation is often regarded as the most popular and quintessential of the Doctors.Template:Sfn In polls conducted by Doctor Who Magazine, Baker was voted "Best Doctor" every year up to 2013, with the exception of losing to incumbents Sylvester McCoy in 1990 and David Tennant in 2006 and 2009.<ref name="best">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="lyons" /> Baker's tenure corresponded with Doctor Who's first broadcasts in the United States, further cementing his popularity among international viewers.<ref name="lyons" /><ref name=":12">Template:Cite magazine</ref> He also became proprietorial over the role of the Doctor and often berated writers and directors whose work he disliked.Template:Sfn<ref>"A Matter of Time".

Subsequent appearances

Although his predecessors Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee reprised their roles for the 20th-anniversary episode "The Five Doctors" (1983), Baker declined as it was not long since he had left. He added that he "didn't want to play 20 per cent of the part" or "fancy being a feed for other Doctors."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> A year later he stated "the programme is my past now - it would, I think, have been a mistake to try to turn the clock back".Template:Sfn In 1992 Baker presented the video release The Tom Baker Years, where he looked back on the series by watching short clips from his episodes.<ref>Template:Cite AV media</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Baker also filmed inserts for the 1992 video release of Shada,<ref name=":5">Template:Cite magazine</ref> a serial which remained half-filmed due to a 1979 BBC strike.<ref name="Southall">Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref name="shadas">Template:Cite web</ref>
