Thomas Stewart Baker (born 20 January 1934) is an English actor. He is best known as the fourth incarnation of the Doctor in the science fiction series Doctor Who from 1974 to 1981, a longer tenure than any other actor, and for the narration of the comedy series Little Britain. Baker's voice, which has been described as "sonorous", was once voted the fourth most recognisable in the UK.
At the age of 15 Baker began study as a monk. However, he gradually lost his vocation and at 21 he left monastic life and undertook National Service in the Royal Army Medical Corps. On leaving the army, he joined the Merchant Navy and then became an actor, joining the Royal National Theatre Company under Laurence Olivier. Baker's first major film role was as Rasputin in Nicholas and Alexandra in 1971. He went on to play the villainous Prince Koura in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad in 1973, which led to his casting in Doctor Who. His period of starring in the series was distinguished by high viewing figures and many stories which became regarded as classics. He remains one of the most instantly recognisable incarnations of the character. He continued to win regular roles in TV later in his career, most notably in the series Medics and Monarch of the Glen. In addition to performing acting roles, Baker has narrated commercials, video games, audiobooks and television series.

The movie features a tour-de-force performance by Val Kilmer, who not only looks like Jim Morrison's long-lost twin brother, but also sounds so much like him that he did much of his own singing.

Doctor Who's Tom Baker in an interview from 2010
Shot at Folkestone Film TV and Comic Con May 2015 held in the Academy, Folkestone on 9th May 2015, sorry about the slight flaw in the order of the edit but hope you enjoy it. My main thought whilst shooting this was that Tom seems to be getting more honest with age.
Saved the best for last. The "Doctor Who" actor interviewed by fans around 1999 in the UK. This one is pretty hilarious, Tom Baker is never boring and this certainly doesn't disappoint (strong language though - you have been warned!). This series of amateur-shot interviews are very hard to find (I bought them on eBay). He discusses his career and life. Apologies for the low audio quality. There are many more of these interviews available!
Trapped in an alternative universe the Doctor lands on a sinister planet ruled by an unholy trio of tyrants. Aided by Romana and the faithful K-9, the Doctor must discover the dreadful secret of the dark tower and face the awakening horror that lies beneath it. This is my re-edited version of the story with added music and sound effects!
