Is the real headline here. And good for him.
I'd rather not give what's her name any more attention over this crap.
Also, calling Tennant a "Harry Potter actor", while true, feels like a calculated insult to a man who has played Doctor Who, The Purple Man, and Crawley.
He was also barely even in Harry Potter, if we are going by screen time pretty sure Harry potter is the least relevant part of his career.
I wasn't even aware that he was in there.
He was in Goblet of Fire. Showed up briefly at the beginning and end of the movie, certainly easy to miss. More of a cameo appearance for David Tennant fans.
It's the first time I learned who he was and I was so impressed with his performance, however short, that when I caught a Doctor Who episode and recognized him, I kept watching and became an instant fan.
Another great show he’s in is Good Omens. Highly recommend if you haven’t watched it.
Highly recommend the book, much more than the show.
No worries if you haven't had a chance to read yet....
I read the book at least 10 years ago, want season one of the show when it came out.
It's a good adaptation but man, it just doesn't hit quite the same as the book.
Absolutely! I’m definitely in that camp that thinks the book is (almost) always better than the show/movie - totally agreed there. I try to judge them separately when I can though since there’s a lot on stuff in text that just doesn’t translate well to the screen.
S2 is better than S1.
I disagree?
Very strongly as well
Fair enough.
Putting a question mark after "I disagree" makes it sound like you're trying to convey that the disagreement is faint or in doubt, btw.
Some of the best tongue-based acting I've ever seen
Oh my 😳
I'm not sure it's a "calculated insult" but it did read a but oddly (I assumed initially that it was referring to someone else). I presume the writer or their editor went with that angle because because his having appeared in the Harry Potter movies is relevant to an article and fitted the wider context of JK Rowling falling out with HP cast members. I'm not convinced it was the right approach.
Tennant, who once lowered himself to appear in a Harry Potter film, stated....
Better?
Yeah. My choice of words was a bit unnecessarily inflammatory. I struggled to find the words for how weird a choice of introduction it is, but don't mean to actually assign malice.
I don't really think the article author meant anything by it necessarily.
Your point about the context of the cast relationships makes sense. Probably why they went for it.
