Talk:David Tennant/Archive 2

Semi-protected edit request on 27 November 2014
In personal life: "He is a patron of the Association for International Cancer Research."

Please add the following: David Tennant is a Patron of Circle, a Scottish charity working at the heart of deprived communities across central Scotland. Circle support the most disadvantaged and difficult-to-engage children and families to improve their lives and promote their healthy potential and development (http://www.circlescotland.org/patrons.aspx)

I suppose this video of Tennant speaking in support of Circle might settle it? Or is this 'original research'? LOL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlqMhsRrTt0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Varnebank (talk • contribs) 21:09, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Ulster Scots?
As his mother was Ulster-Scots, he should surely be described as 'Scots-Irish' or perhaps 'Scottish-Ulster-Scot'. Or, and this is why we need to use the correct term, British! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Varnebank (talk • contribs) 19:13, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect dates
The movie 'You, Me & Him' was released in December 2017, so is hardly in production as of January 2018 and Tennant also hosted an episode of 'Have I Got News For You' in 2017. Since the article is locked, these changes can't be made.50.247.98.197 (talk) 03:23, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Jessica Jones
Hopefully someone updated the Filmography of Jessica Jones for David Tennant. He is in an episode of Season 2 of Jessica Jones.

 * The purpose of the lead is meant to briefly summarize the articles sections has a whole. The second paragraph states "Tennant has also worked extensively as a voice actor and in theatre." The lead therefore preforms its duties of summarizing the article. It could be up for discussion so I'll leave to other editors but I'm leading towards no since it's located elsewhere in the lead?

Under the heading, "Other work", what follows the subheading "2011-present" is a hot chronological mess.

The term "voice actor" should be removed from his occupation section, because "actor" already covers both his voice over work and live action work. He does voice work occasionally, but not all the time. Especially with narrations he did, they shouldn't really count as voice credits. Voice roles count for animated roles only. 2600:1000:B07D:99C7:2534:EE04:A7EB:A2D4 (talk) 00:01, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Surname
I haven't found it neither in the article nor in the Discussion archive. Since when does David McDonald use the name Tennant, and why? Can this be added and sourced? BasileusAutokratorPL (talk) 23:05, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * After discovering that there was another David McDonald already represented by the actor's union Equity, he took his stage name from Pet Shop Boys frontman Neil Tennant after reading a copy of Smash Hits magazine.[13][14] He later had to legally change his surname to meet Screen Actors Guild rules.[15] DonQuixote (talk) 23:20, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

David Tennant appeared in an episode of Foyle's War
I noticed by chance that David Tennant appeared in a 2002 episode of British TV series Foyle's War (S01E03) entitled "A Lesson in Murder", playing the part of Theo Howard, an anti-war activist who later decides to sign up, but there is no mention of this on David Tennant's Wikipedia page.

I can't see an edit button on the page, so I'm posting here in case anyone wants to add this to the page.

Thanks. John 2C0F:FE38:2027:B2EC:75A6:B936:820F:9470 (talk) 05:34, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I think it would be really helpful to have notations for where Tennant's movies and shows can be found. For example, Mary Queen of Scots and Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire can be bought or rented on Amazon Prime. HBO Max has Dr. Who and Bright Young Things, Disney+ has Ferdinand, etc. I think now more than ever people are spending a lot of time watching tv on streaming services and developing a list of favorite actors. Wikipedia would be my first instinct to find other productions that actors or actresses are in.
