While we do get the occasional thread about certain cast members in other projects I thought we might as well have a general one.
So to start off.
Karen Gillen has been cast in the lead Villain role of Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy.

I got Campion with Peter Davison on DVD the other day. I found it in a charity shop for £4. It was priced at £4 because it was every episode ever broadcast on 4 DVDs. The condition of the discs are quite good.
Haven't got round to seeing Campion yet, though. It has also got Brian Glover in it, and he was in Attack of the Cybermen. Maurice Colebourne was in AOTC too. He was also in Howard's Way between 1985 & 1989
According to the official brochure I have beside me: "Gillan's performance carries this bright and smoothly done romantic comedy. Her mobile features indicate her vulnerability and her susceptibility to the people around her. At the same time, she conveys a winning optimism that becomes the keynote of the character." Certainly she seemed very good in the bit I saw being filmed last year and if nothing else it's going to look gorgeous with John McKay behind the camera.
Really hoping that this Guardians of the Galaxy info is right, always wanted to see her take on both a villain role and a comic book movie. Also, and it's early so someone please check me on this, wouldn't she be the first lead female villain of the Marvel Movie Universe?
Louise Jameson (Leela) - Rosa DiMarco (Eastenders), Susan Young (Bergerac) ...
Sophie Aldred (Ace) - Dennis & Gnasher (voice of Dennis)
Peter Davison- I'm pretty sure I saw him in Midsomer Murders once...playing cricket.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_Fu_Tom
Patrick Troughton - Knights Of God
Several other actors who appeared in that show have also been on Doctor Who at one time or another
John Woodvine - The Marshal in The Armageddon Factor
Nigel Stock - Professor Hayter in Timeflight
Don Henderson - Gavrok in Delta and the Bannermen
Michael - Various characters
But..
Is it really that difficult to spell her name correctly.. Karen GILLAN - If you can't learn it after 3 years!:eek:
ETA: Not to mention Shaun Dingwall (Pete Tyler).
Mark Strickson was in Angels.
Bonnie Langford was sqweeeeeming away in Just William and Junior Showtime before becoming an ice-skater!
Sylvestor McCoy was a mad professor in Vision On.
Peter Davison bared his (almost) naked body in The Tomorrow People :eek:
Freema is in the US series The Carrie Diaries.
Law and Order UK has seen a few ex Who people. Currently Peter Davison is playing head of the CPS.
Ronny Jhutti who played Danny Bartock in The Satan Pit/Impossible Planet was in the Survivors remake
Roger Lloyd-Pack appeared in the original Survivors and was the only actor to appear in both versions
Speaking of the original Survivors several actors from that have appeared in Who as well
Ian McCulloch - Nilson in Warriors of the Deep
Dennis Lill - Dr Fendelman in Image of the Fendahl and Sir George Hutchinson in The Awakening
John Abineri - Van Lutyens in Fury of the Deep, General Carrington in Ambassadors of Death, Railton in Death to the Daleks and Ranquin in The Power of Kroll
David Troughton appeared in one episode as did Philip Madoc
LOL, the Edinburgh film festival expects to sell 1600 £15 cinema tix off the back of her name value, and no one knows her name. Te he.
Patrick Troughton played Israel Hands in a 70s serial of Treasure Island (incidentally, David Collings, who played Poul in Robots of Death, was also in that, playing Blind Pew)
Maureen O'Brien (Hartnell companion Vicky) played Morgan le Fay in Legend of King Arthur.
Sophie Aldred presented CBBC show Corners before playing Ace.
Sarah Sutton (Nyssa) played the heroine Diana in childrens drama The Moon Stallon pre-Doctor Who.
And on the subject of Marvel DW/links, Jenna-Louise
Coleman was in "Captain America", and Christopher Eccleston is playing Malekith the Accursed in "Thor 2:the Dark World".
Zoe Herriot (Wendy Padbury) also guest-starred in Crossroads.
Leela (Louise Jameson) appeared in EastEnders.
Mary Tamm (Romana I) did too, around 2009/10.
Well it's only been on general sale for 4 hours and the stalls are about 2/3rds sold, and it's a fairly big theatre (yes, theatre, not just a cinema screen), so your laughter seems a little premature. Of course there are plenty more tickets to sell, but a lot have sold since I booked this morning.
Oh and I saw Noel Clarke in Star Trek Into Darkness yesterday as well.
I was laughing at internet typos. I know how big the theatre is, that is the reason I said 1600 seats. Because that's how many there are. I saw The Illusionist, The Guard, Perfect Sense, Brave, The Man Who Would Be King & Killer Joe in there. It's not brilliant for cinema to be honest, the seats are small and in a lot of them you're either too far away or too close to the screen.
And seeing as how I'm busy that day and can't go, I hope she doesn't turn up. They've not officially said KG is gonna be there have they? I presume she will be, but I'd laugh if Guardians of the Galaxy required her then. ;)
This year has been seen in

Yes, they have said she will be, although I doubt she'll actually be in watchig the movie. She was meant to be at a Doctor Who convention that day but they've moved her appearance to the previous day so she can come to the festival.
They do really need her to sell the movie, and the Scottish girl done good approach will probably shift a few more tickets up here. Her name is certainly getting a lot of my student friends interested.
On a separate note, the less I remember about John Barrowman in Zero Dark Thirty, the better - 3 minutes onscreen and he managed to ruin the movie for me!
