His voice notable voice acting credits in the introduction should change to the How to Train Your Dragon franchise rather than How to Train Your Dragon films because his role in the television series is much larger, and it also includes his audiobook narration for the franchise's book series.

In his bio, there is a claim that David Tennant is the first actor to portray the character twice. However, he is either the second, third, or fourth depending on what is considered canon.

However, Tom Baker played both the Fourth Doctor from 1974-81 and the Curator in the 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor"(2013). The Curator is a future incarnation of the Doctor and is confirmed to be so by various supplemental works such as the Prose for "The Day of the Doctor", several Big Finish Audio Dramas,and at least one comic. (This is the first canon instance of a doctor playing two separate incarnations of the doctor on screen)

Colin Baker also played the Sixth Doctor and as an alternative Curator in several Big Finish Productions such as "Crossed Lines"(2020) and "The Keys to Baker Street" (April 2022). (This is a debatably-canon instance of an actor playing two incarnations, however, Baker does not appear on screen as this version of the Curator).

In addition, Richard E. Grant played alternate 9th and 10 doctors in Scream of the Shalka (2003) and the Curse of the Fatal Death (1999) respectively. While both Doctors are no longer canon, they were at the time of production. (This is the first instance of an actor playing two separate incarnations, however, each was later retconned (Fatal Death was replaced by Shalka, and Shalka was retconned in the 2005 reboot).

 * Removed. It is debatable, a bit trivial, and lacking sources. -- Mvqr (talk) 13:54, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

"GalaxyCon Raleigh" in main image caption should be changed to "GalaxyCon Richmond". Tennant attended GalaxyCon Richmond in 2023, not GalaxyCon Raleigh, and the new image is from GalaxyCon Richmond.
