<p>Matt Smith has cemented his status as one of the most versatile and captivating actors of his generation. Beginning with his breakthrough role as the Eleventh Doctor in the beloved British sci-fi series Doctor Who, he soon gained plaudits for his portrayal of Prince Philip in Netflix’s The Crown, and now he’s bringing down the house (no potential spoiler intended) as another royal consort, Daemon Targaryen, in the slow-burning HBO blockbuster House of the Dragon.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Smith’s ability to inhabit complex, larger-than-life characters has earned him critical acclaim and a legion of devoted fans. Born in 1982, in Northampton, England, the young Matthew Robert Smith was a passionate athlete, excelling in sports like football and golf; he captained the Leicester City youth team before an injury put paid to his professional soccer dream. He had to be pushed by a teacher to participate in a school drama, but this discovery of the performing arts would ultimately shape the course of his career.</p>

<p>“I was always a bit of a performer as a kid,” he reflects. “I loved being on stage, entertaining people. It just felt natural to me, like it was something I was meant to do.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Even before completing his Drama and Creative Writing degree at the University of East Anglia, Smith was treading the boards with the National Youth Theatre. More stage roles and a sprinkling of television credits followed, but when he caught the eye of the Doctor Who production team in 2009 and was announced – at just 26 years old and a relative unknown – as the Eleventh Doctor, the startled British entertainment media quipped “Doctor Who?”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Right on Time</h3>



<p>Smith’s tenure as the iconic Time Lord (2010-2014) proved pivotal and it was a test he passed with flying colours. Tasked with stepping into the shoes of revered actors like Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, and more latterly Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant, he brought a unique blend of youthful energy, quirky charm and dramatic depth to the role.</p>

<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="683" height="1024" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-interview-1-1659538868-683x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-82793" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-interview-1-1659538868-683x1024.png 683w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-interview-1-1659538868-187x280.png 187w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-interview-1-1659538868-768x1152.png 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-interview-1-1659538868-200x300.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-interview-1-1659538868-800x1200.png 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-interview-1-1659538868.png 980w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>


<p>“When I got the call to be the Doctor, I was over the moon,” he recalls. “It was a dream come true, but also a huge responsibility. I knew I had to make the part my own while respecting the legacy of the character.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>His portrayal was widely acclaimed – he even secured the Doctor’s first Bafta TV nomination for Best Actor. Smith quickly became a household name, and his memorable performances and eccentric wardrobe were the stuff of pop-culture legend.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Jewel in The Crown</h3>



<p>After leaving Doctor Who in 2013, Smith continued to showcase his versatility, tackling a wide range of roles in film, television and theatre. In 2016-2017, he earned critical praise for his portrayal of Prince Philip, opposite Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II, in the first two seasons of The Crown. He captured the complexities of the Royal consort with remarkable depth and nuance, receiving an Emmy nomination and an unexpected response from Philip’s grandson, Prince Harry.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“I met Harry once, at polo, which sounds a bit grand, but it wasn’t that grand,” remarks Smith. “And he walked up to me and went, ‘Granddad’.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The actor adds: “It was a fascinating challenge to bring such an iconic historical figure to life. I wanted to explore the man behind the public persona, to understand his motivations and the weight of his responsibilities.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fire Starter</h3>



<p>More recently, Smith has assumed the mantle of a very different prince – Daemon Targaryen in the highly praised and watched Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon. Channelling his signature blend of charisma and intensity, he has wowed audiences with his dynamic turns as the complex and often-controversial Targaryen prince.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="683" height="1024" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-1659538822-683x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-82792" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-1659538822-683x1024.png 683w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-1659538822-187x280.png 187w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-1659538822-768x1152.png 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-1659538822-200x300.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-1659538822-800x1200.png 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/matt-smith-1659538822.png 980w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>


<p>The spin-off was a big gamble, considering the somewhat divisive reaction to Thrones’ series finale. It began promisingly, with many judging its 2022 pilot better than the entirety of GoT Season 8 – in no small part due to Smith’s presence as an arrogant swashbuckler – and has matured in the second season into a satisfying and occasionally terrifying battle of wills between, and within, the Greens and the Blacks.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Woke Bloke</h3>



<p>The actor was recently hailed online for gently correcting a red-carpet exchange in which a reporter misgenders his House of the Dragon co-star Emma D’Arcy. During an interview at the Season 2 premiere, he discussed the climactic moment in the first-season finale when Daemon notifies Rhaenyra (D’Arcy) of the loss of her son, Lucerys. Sue Perkins, the host of Sky’s fan programme House of the Dragon: War Room, had earlier spoken to D’Arcy and used the wrong pronoun when telling Smith that “she gave you all the credit” for the scene.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="670" height="1024" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-670x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82790" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-670x1024.jpg 670w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-183x280.jpg 183w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-768x1174.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-1005x1536.jpg 1005w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-1340x2048.jpg 1340w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-200x306.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-800x1223.jpg 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/183_Flaunt_EmotionalRescue_MattSmith-6-scaled.jpg 1675w" sizes="(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px" /></figure></div>


<p>“I can’t take the credit, [but] I have to say, aren’t they brilliant?” he answered smartly, using D’Arcy’s preferred ‘they/them’ pronouns. “They are absolutely brilliant and you’re in for a real treat with Emma this year, I think Emma’s put in … a really great performance.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Smith has always lauded his co-star, and he recently confessed that part of what made filming Season 2 so tough was that he didn’t get as much on-screen time with D’Arcy. “It was difficult to do it without them because I love them – a person with real depth, sardonic humour and fierce intellect,” he remarked on losing D’Arcy as a scene partner.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Matt the Master</h3>



<p>Smith’s ability to immerse himself fully in his characters is the result of meticulous preparation and a deep understanding of the material. “I don’t just memorise the lines and show up on set,” he explains. “I do extensive research, delving into the character’s backstory, their motivations, and the historical context of the story. I want to bring authenticity and depth to every role I take on.”</p>

<p>This dedication to his craft is evident in his performances, as he seamlessly transitions between the ranging emotional beats required of complex characters like the Doctor, Prince Philip and Prince Daemon. As he continues to captivate audiences, it’s clear that he is a master of his craft – a versatile and compelling actor who has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“Matt is an absolute masterclass in acting,” agrees The Crown creator Peter Morgan. “He has the rare ability to convey the full spectrum of human emotion, from the light-hearted and playful to the deeply haunting and introspective.”</p>

<p><em>Synopsis</em>: Master of None details the professional and romantic experiences of 30-year-old Dev Shah, a commercial actor living in New York City with no clear ambitions or goals for his life. Though billed as a comedy, Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang’s smartly written show is a fantastic anthropological statement on the aimlessness and <em>ennui</em> of a whole generation of millennials.</p>

<p><strong>Alias Grace</strong></p>
<p><em>Genre</em>: Historical true crime drama</p>
<p><em>Synopsis</em>: Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, this Netflix miniseries follows conversations between incarcerated murderess Grace Marks and psychologist Dr. Jordan in 19th-century Canada. Marks claims to have no memory of the murders that led to her imprisonment, and over the course of their talks, we get a first-hand account of her harsh life and the events that led to her arrest. Although set over a century ago, this series still resonates deeply today and makes viewers question the treatment of women in a world filled with Harvey Weinsteins.</p>
