David Tennant To Host PBS Masterpiece Contemporary

PBS announced that David Tennant, who portrayed "Barty Crouch Jr." in Goblet of Fire and is now known for his role as BBC's Doctor Who, will host Masterpiece Contemporary in October 2009. Click here to read more.

He was quoted to have said this about the position: "I'm honored to be hosting the series that introduced American audiences to programming such as Casanova and He Knew He Was Right,"..."And it's a thrill to join the Masterpiece family of hosts: Mystery's Alan Cumming and Classic's Laura Linney." Tennant had played the title role in Casanova, as "the youthful counterpart to Peter O'Toole". In He Knew He was Right, he portrayed "Reverend Gibson". "How many actors can nail the characters of Casanova and Doctor Who?," says Masterpiece executive producer Rebecca Eaton. "David's talent, versatility and unique appeal make him the perfect match for Masterpiece contemporary." Also later this year, Tennant will be seen in the film 1939 with Bill Nighy, Romola Garai and Julie Christie (Madame Rosmerta in Prisoner of Azkaban) Click here to read PBS' article on Tennant.
