5 Most Iconic David Tennant Performances You Can’t Miss
The actor has appeared in many projects over the years, but it is in television that he shines the brightest.
Although David Tennant has had a prolific career on the big screen and stage, it is his appearances on television that have given us some of his most brilliant performances and earned him the love of fans all over the world.
So let's take a look at David Tennant's greatest TV roles, which range from the comedic and heartwarming to the truly chilling and disturbing.
Crowley - Good Omens
Many fans point out that Tennant's portrayal of this demon is exactly how they imagined Crowley when they read the original novel.
His on-screen chemistry with Michael Sheen, who plays the angel Aziraphale, is phenomenal, and hopefully we will see more of them in the show's third season.
Kilgrave - Jessica Jones
The actor's portrayal of this sadistic yet tragic Marvel villain was a crown jewel of the first season of the show starring Krysten Ritter, and even eight years later, he remains one of the greatest villains introduced in various Marvel shows and movies.
Unfortunately, given his fate, it is highly unlikely that we will ever see him return to the franchise, even though he would have given the MCU 's current array of one-dimensional villains a run for their money.
Tenth Doctor - Doctor Who
The iconic British sci-fi TV series has featured many versions of the titular alien traveler, but the Tenth Doctor remains one of the most beloved by fans.
This has even led to him reprising the role for three special episodes that will be released in November.
Dennis Nilsen - Des
In this British miniseries, Tennant portrays real-life serial killer Dennis Nilsen, to whom the actor bears an uncanny resemblance, and delivers an absolutely stunning performance.
Yet he is almost unrecognizable in the role, simply because his portrayal of this psychopathic narcissist is so different from his other famous performances.
Huyang - Ahsoka
In his most recent TV appearance, the actor reprised his role from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but this time his ancient droid, who has been assisting Jedi for generations, is shown in live action.
In addition, unlike his previous episodic appearances, he is now a major part of the show's storyline, providing countless hilarious interactions and quickly becoming a fan favorite.
