**The letter is P** 1. Real 2. Last name begins with P 3. Male 4. American 5. Deceased 6. Known for the Arts 7. Known as an actor 8. Died after 1960 9. He was neither nominated nor won an Oscar, an Emmy, or a Tony. 10. I wouldn’t say _primarily_ known for TV, probably depends on your age 11. Died before 2000 12. Greatest fame before 1980 13. Handsome? Not especially. Not ugly, either. 14. Not known primarily for comedy 15. Not technically considered a character actor 16. Died after 1990 17. He was a regular on a TV show 18. Not known for Westerns 19. Last name does not begin with Pa - Pl 20. Combining the DQs: Has done both SciFi and Crime/Mystery, but neither are primarily what he’s remembered for. (Since we’re nearing the end, let me clarify 14 and 15: in retrospect we may consider quite a few roles comedic; however, at the time he was playing certain character type roles quite straight) @Knowed_Out I love both Matt Smith and David Tennant, so I’m trying. If you have any suggestions for a newbie, I’ll gladly listen! ---

You can’t go wrong with any of them as far as I’m concerned. The current Doc is Jodie Whitaker, and she’s killing it. I was first exposed to Tom Baker when the show was broadcast on PBS. He’ll always be the OG of Doctors to me, but the Nu Who era (Christopher Eccleston to present) is excellent. ---
