He played his first leading role in 2007 as Danny on the BBC series Party Animals . In late 2009, he was cast as the eleventh doctorate in the cult British science fiction series Doctor Who . He took up the role at the end of the episode The End of Time with the regeneration from the tenth to the eleventh doctor and filled it from the fifth season up to and including the seventh season (from 2010-2013) of the series.
